Abstract
Green note compound, such as cis-3-hexen-1-ol, is provided by subjecting linolenic acid and a fresh watermelon foliage to shearing in the presence of an aqueous liquid and yeast. Enzymes within the plant material (i.e., lipoxygenase and hydroperoxide lyase) and the yeast act to cause the linolenic acid to be converted to green note alcohol at a relatively high yield. Green note compound can be provided naturally using a continuous or batch process.
