acetaldehyde and Adipocere

acetaldehyde has been researched along with Adipocere in 5 studies

Acetaldehyde: A colorless, flammable liquid used in the manufacture of acetic acid, perfumes, and flavors. It is also an intermediate in the metabolism of alcohol. It has a general narcotic action and also causes irritation of mucous membranes. Large doses may cause death from respiratory paralysis.
acetaldehyde : The aldehyde formed from acetic acid by reduction of the carboxy group. It is the most abundant carcinogen in tobacco smoke.
aldehyde : A compound RC(=O)H, in which a carbonyl group is bonded to one hydrogen atom and to one R group.
acetyl group : A group, formally derived from acetic acid by dehydroxylation, which is fundamental to the biochemistry of all forms of life. When bound to coenzyme A, it is central to the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Acetone was the most frequently detected volatile (82 %), followed by acetaldehyde (44 %) and 2-propanol (34 %)."1.72The frequency of ethanol, higher alcohols and other low molecular weight volatiles in postmortem blood samples from unnatural deaths. ( Boumba, VA; Exadactylou, P; Fragkouli, K; Kovatsi, L; Velivasi, G; Ziavrou, KS, 2022)
"Methanol was detected in 12 % of the samples and only in the presence of ethanol."1.72The frequency of ethanol, higher alcohols and other low molecular weight volatiles in postmortem blood samples from unnatural deaths. ( Boumba, VA; Exadactylou, P; Fragkouli, K; Kovatsi, L; Velivasi, G; Ziavrou, KS, 2022)
"When acetaldehyde was added first, ethanol production was inhibited the next day, but on and after day 2, the quantity of ethanol was more than that in the control material."1.27Experimental studies on the mechanism of ethanol formation in corpses. ( Hashimoto, Y; Moriya, F; Nanikawa, R, 1988)
