Named in 1 VERIFIED claim about 1 Atlas entry: Peach.
Key odorant · the claim says “key contributors”
An analysis of peach varieties found alcohols, ketones, esters and aldehydes contributed most to the aroma, and identified (E,E)-2,6-nonadienal, γ-decalactone, β-ionone and hexyl hexanoate as key contributors.
Scope: Peach types from one region, ranked by relative odour activity values without olfactometry. CLM-PEACH-001 ↗
IFYYFLINQYPWGJ-UHFFFAOYSA-NChecked against PubChem and Wikidata on 2026-10-02 (identifier check run 37063263965). Every name SmellBook uses must resolve to the same single PubChem compound.
SmellBook lists a molecule only where a VERIFIED claim names it, in the role and scope that claim states. A molecule reported in a smell's evidence is not the whole smell: most smells come from many compounds together, and the studies measured particular samples, such as one cultivar, an essential oil or a cooked product.
