Those with a lower molecular weight really stink, resembling the malodors of rotting fruit. Our masters perfumers are well aware of the fragrant majesty rendered by aldehydes and they utilize them often in varying amounts. If neither is hydrogen, the compound in question is known as a ketone, which also has a pleasant odor and is frequently found in musky perfumes and colognes as well as food flavorings. If at least one of these groups is hydrogen, the compound is an aldehyde. These composites incorporate a carbonyl functional group (C=0) and the carbon atom that is part of this group has two remaining bonds that can either contain some atoms that are hydrogen or an alkyl (hydrocarbon group). Some are utilized as preservatives and disinfectants. They are used in the manufacture of synthetic resins and for the creation of dyestuffs, flavorings, perfumes, and other chemicals.

Other classes of organic compounds containing carbonyl groups include ketones and carboxylic acids.”Īldehydes are the result of partial oxidation and the moniker given to them is often derived from the name of the acid it forms. The aldehyde group is occasionally called the formyl or methanoyl group. This functional group consists of a carbon atom bonded to a hydrogen atom with a single covalent bond and an oxygen atom with a double bond. Thus the chemical formula for an aldehyde functional group is -CH=O, and the general formula for an aldehyde is R-CH=O. What Are Aldehydes?Īccording to Wikpedia,“An aldehyde is an organic compound containing a terminal carbonyl group. These fragrant amalgams contain what is known as a formyl group, which is part of a molecule with a specific structure (R-CHO) in organic chemistry. They can also be reproduced synthetically in a laboratory. These organic compounds are present in many natural materials, such as rose, vanilla orange rind, pine essence, citronella and cinnamon essential oils, and are the reason they are so pleasant smelling. I’m happy to see their team expanding.Aldehydes and perfumery are bonded symbiotically and there is hardly a fragrance in the world that exists without them. They probably hired more servers which is really all they needed. Service was much faster my second time here. I definitely think we could’ve gone without the cauliflower wrap because it ended up being too much food. Portion size is big at this restaurant! We had lots of leftover rice and kafta to take home and we simply added a bit of chorizo sausage and made a bomb fried rice. I love the salad and pita that comes with the entrees. Also there are a lot of choices for vegetarians. Their Lebanese food is healthy with a very homemade and authentic feel. Wild Thyme is a local favourite but I don’t particularly see a lot of young folks in their dining room (older couples and families). The cauliflower was a little mushy but still super yummy. This time, I find there was too much tahini sauce and it made the entire wrap a bit too soggy and overwhelming.


Now I looove cauliflower and my first time at Wild Thyme, I fell in love with their cauliflower wrap. It is as big as our giant pita from earlier and very similar to the size of a flatbread or a small pizza. The wrap is stuffed with cauliflower, tahini sauce, tomatoes, cucumber, pickles, and parsley. On top of our entree, we order the baked cauliflower wrap.
