Houttuynia cordata is a culinary herb from Asia. Its edible rhizomes and leaves have a fishy aroma, the molecular background of which was unknown. A comparative aroma extract dilution analysis applied to fresh rhizomes and leaves resulted in 44 and 41 odorants, respectively, 38 of which were present with FD factors ≥1 in both samples. The odorant with the highest FD factors, whether in the rhizomes or leaves, was identified as metallic, soapy, fishy smelling 3-oxododecanal. Toward clarifying its tautomeric composition, quantum calculations suggested a predominance of the enol forms in the plant. However, the form perceived at the sniffing port during GC–O remained unclear.
