E 2 Hexenal
E-2-hexenal (also called trans-2-hexenal) is a volatile aldehyde commonly detected in cannabis flower and concentrates. This compound is part of the broader green leaf volatile (GLV) family, often associated with fresh, grassy, or herbaceous aromatic profiles. E-2-hexenal appears across diverse genetic backgrounds and is frequently documented in lineage records alongside other C6 volatiles. Its presence in cannabis terpene profiles is often correlated with plant stress responses and enzymatic degradation during harvest and curing. Breeders and researchers track E-2-hexenal as one marker among many when characterizing strain aroma and volatile composition.

Breeders working in aroma phenotyping monitor E-2-hexenal levels as part of volatile profiling, though it is rarely selected for directly. Its abundance can indicate curing practices, post-harvest handling, or plant maturity state, making it relevant to cultivation and processing decisions rather than primary genetic selection.
