Pentane and hexanal were the major volatile end‐products of a peanut lipoxygenase and linoleic acid model system and were produced by both crude and purified enzyme preparations. The enzyme system did not require an anerobic condition for the production of pentane and hexanal, thus distinguishing it from other reported systems. A 122‐fold purification of the enzyme was achieved.
