General description

Acetaldehyde is one of the most widely occurring aldehydes in nature and commonly used in industry. The metabolic byproduct of ethanol in the liver, acetaldehyde is toxic to the human body and rapidly converted to the less harmful acetic acid by the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase. People with a deficiency of aldehyde dehydrogenase accumulate acetaldehyde when consuming alcohol and this accumulation results in facial and body flushing often referred to as “Asian flush syndrome.” Build up of acetaldehyde has also been associated with the effects of hangovers from alcohol consumption. Although classified as a carcinogen, acetaldehyde is naturally found in many foods and beverages such as ripe fruit, coffee, and wine.

Principle

The fluorimetric acetaldehyde assay is based on aldehyde dehydrogenase catalyzed oxidation of acetaldehyde, in which the generated NADH reduces a probe making it fluorescent. The fluorescence intensity of the product measured at λex/em = 530/585 nm is directly proportional to acetaldehyde concentration in the sample.

Suitability

Suitable for biological samples (e.g. plasma, serum, urine, tissue and culture media) and food/beverage samples (e.g. wine, coffee, and juice)
