trans-4,5-Epoxy-(E)-2-decenal (E2D)is an oxygenated α,β-unsaturated aldehyde found in mammalian blood that gives blood its characteristic metallic odor. It is used by predators to locate blood or prey.[1] trans-4,5-Epoxy-(E)-2-decenal is almost certainly found in all mammals.[2] Humans can smell it at a concentration of 1.5 pg/L in air,[3] at 15 ng/L in water and 1.3μg/L in oil.[4] It was permitted as a food flavouring in the EU until it was prohibited on 11 July 2017[5] on the grounds of possible genotoxicity, as observed from rat livers.[6]

It can be formed during baking fats that contain linoleic acid. 13-Hydroperoxy-9,11-octadecadienoic acid and 9-hydroperoxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid are intermediates in the process.[7] The aldehyde also forms in cooked beef when it sits in the refrigerator for too long contributing to a stale smell.[8] It is also an important part of the smell of raw and cooked mutton.[9]

Humans are more sensitive to the smell of trans-4,5-Epoxy-(E)-2-decenal than mice.[10]
