Lumen et al. (17) beans possess a very liigh lipoxygenase activity. We therefore investigated the formation of Cg-components from linolenic acid in homogenates of Beans. The volatiles were determined according to Tressl and Drawert 2). it can be seen that linoleic acid and methyl linolenate are converted into (Z)-3-hexenal, ( E)-2-hexenal, and (E)-2-hexenol. Beans possess a very active fatty acid acyl hydrolase activity (Eq). During 1 min homogenization 100 mg methyl linolenate were hydrolized. As shown by Lumen et al.
