The hydroperoxylinoleic acids undergo cleavage by hydroperoxide lyase resulting in several products including hexanal, hexenal and w-keto fatty acids (keto group toward the methyl end of the molecule). For example, hydroperoxide lyase action on 13-hydroperxylinolenic acid results in the formation of cis-3-hexenal and 12-keto-cis-9-dodecenoie acid. Hexanal and hexenal are important fruit volatiles. The short-chain fatty may feed into catabolic pathway (B-oxidation) that results in the formation of short-chain acyl CoAs, ranging from acetyl CoA to dodecanoyl CoA
