Summary The ‘mushroom compound’ previously reported as a gas chromatographic fraction of oxidized dairy products has been identified as oct-l-en-3-ol. The alcohol was found to have a flavour threshold value of 1 part in 109 in water, 1 part in 108 in skim-milk, and 1 part in 107 in butterfat. A mechanism for the formation of oct-1- en-3-ol is discussed.
