Groups of 15 male and 15 female rats were fed for at least 90 days on diets that provided 2,6-dimethylhept-5-en-1-al (DMH) at average intakes of 0 (control), 9, 37 and 150 mg/kg body weight/day. Steps were taken to limit loss

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 59(10), 5554-5564 (2011-04-19)
Four lipophilic food volatile molecules of different chemical characteristics, phenylacetaldehyde, 2,6-dimethyl-5-heptenal, linalool, and trans-4-decenal, were solubilized into binary mixtures of monoolein/water, facilitating the formation of reverse hexagonal (H(II)) mesophases at room temperature without the need of solvents or triglycerides.
