Role of Acetaldehyde in Metabolism: A Review 1. Enzymes Catalyzing Reactions Involving Acetaldehyde

Open access
Lees, G.J., Jago, G.R.·1978·Journal of Dairy Science

Abstract

While acetaldehyde appears to be a metabolite in most organisms, bacteria, in particular, possess the most diverse pathways for the metabolism of this compound.Acetaldehyde is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrate, protein, lipid, nucleic acid, and aromatic compounds and thus provides a mechanism for the interchange of carbon atoms between these compounds.The enzymes metabolizing acetaldehyde are discussed with reference to enzyme systems in bacteria and their role in the overall metabolism of the organism.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Aldehydes are transitory compounds in cheese because they are rapidly transformed to alcohols or to corresponding acids.

    “Aldehydes are transitory compounds in cheese because they are rapidly transformed to alcohols or to corresponding acids (43,69,82,83).”

    From Review: Compounds Involved in the Flavor of Surface Mold-Ripened Cheeses: Origins and Properties (1996) · cites this paper as [82]

    The review’s Introduction describes enzymatic reduction of acetaldehyde and oxidation of acetaldehyde to acetate-related products. It does not establish that aldehydes generally are rapidly transformed in cheese or are therefore transitory there. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Some lactic bacteria can also produce acetaldehyde from glucose.

    “Some lactic bacteria can also produce acetaldehyde from glucose (82,83).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
