DescriptionAcrolein (propenal) is the simplest unsaturated aldehyde. It is produced widely but is most often immediately reacted with other products due to its instability and toxicity. Acrolein is a potent inhibitor of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase. It has a piercing, disagreeable, acrid smell similar to that of burning fat. It is responsible for cauliflower-like aromas as a result of bacterial spoilage. [PMID: 10092940]
