General description

Crotonaldehyde(2-Butenal) is an α, β-unsaturated aldehyde and extremely reactive compound. It serves as a chemical building block in the production of solvents, sorbates, and, to a lower extent, pharmaceuticals and aroma compounds. Additionally, it can be used as an alcohol denaturant, in leather tanning and in the manufacturing of rubber accelerators.

Application

Crotonaldehyde is used:

  • In the manufacturing of sorbic acid that are widely employed as food preservatives to avoid the food spoilage by microorganisms.

Humans are exposed to acrolein and crotonaldehyde due to environmental pollution and endogenous lipid peroxidation. These aldehydes react with the 2'-deoxyguanosine moiety of DNA, forming the exocyclic 1,N2-propano-2'-deoxyguanosine adducts AdG and CdG. These adducts are mutagenic lesions, and they play

Previously we observed that the oxygen-evolving complex 33 kDa protein (OEC33) which stabilizes the Mn cluster in photosystem II (PSII), was modified with malondialdehyde (MDA), an end-product of peroxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids, and the modification increased in heat-stressed plants (Yamauchi
