Colorless clear liquid; fresh, clean, aldehydic, soapy, citrus, petal, waxy, grapefruit peel aroma.
clear faint yellow liquid
Tridecanal occurs in lemon oil
and has been identified as a volatile constituent of cucumber. It is a colorless liquid
having a fatty, waxy, slightly citrus-like odor. Addition of tridecanal to fragrance
compositions imparts fresh nuances in the top note as well as in the dry-out.

Tridecanal is a model compound in the nonradioactive assay/RP-HPLC-fluorescence analysis of aliphatic aldehydes employing the Hantzsch reaction.
ChEBI: Tridecanal is a long-chain fatty aldehyde that is tridecane in which two hydrogens attached to a terminal carbon are replaced by an oxo group. It has a role as a human metabolite and a volatile oil component. It is a saturated fatty aldehyde, a n-alkanal and a long-chain fatty aldehyde. It derives from a hydride of a tridecane.
Aldehydic type, high strength odor; recommend smelling in a 1.00% solution or less.
The uptake of NO(3) on solid tridecanal was studied.
