Hexanal, pentanal, and heptanal were found to be normal components of commercially processed, fresh-pack dill pickles. Hexanal and pentanal were present at concentrations severalfold higher than their odor detection thresholds. These aldehydes were also found in pickles that were packed in the laboratory under anaerobic conditions. Injection of oxygen into pickles prepared in anaerobic conditio...
