Acrolein - Wikipedia Acrolein (systematic name: propenal) is the simplest unsaturated aldehyde It is a colorless liquid with a foul and acrid aroma The smell of burnt fat (as when cooking oil is heated to its smoke point) is caused by glycerol in the burning fat breaking down into acrolein
Acrolein Acrolein is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of acrylic acid and as a biocide It may be formed from the breakdown of certain pollutants in outdoor air or from the burning of organic matter including tobacco, or fuels such as gasoline or oil
Acrolein | Toxic Substances | Toxic Substance Portal | ATSDR Acrolein is a colorless or yellow liquid with a disagreeable odor It dissolves in water very easily and quickly changes to a vapor when heated It also burns easily Small amounts of acrolein can be formed and can enter the air when trees, tobacco, other plants, gasoline, and oil are burned
