Heneicosanal is a long-chain aldehyde with 21 carbon atoms, typically found in trace amounts in various plant oils. It is primarily used in fragrance and flavor formulations due to its distinctive scent, often described as grassy or waxy. Its mechanism involves interacting with olfactory receptors to create specific sensory responses. Additionally, heneicosanal has been studied for its potential antimicrobial properties, which could offer applications in preserving cosmetic and personal care products.
