This was suggested to be due to the participation
of hexanal in the Maillard reaction, leading to the
formation of dicarbonyls, which further reacted with amino acids,
forming methyl butanals in Strecker degradation reactions. In general,
the interactions between oxidising lipids and amino acids/
proteins are well documented (Adams et al., 2008; Hidalgo &
Zamora, 1993; Karel, Schaich, & Roy, 1975; Schaich, 2008; Schaich
& Karel, 1976; Yong & Karel, 1978).
