Benzaldehyde can also be manufactured by the hydrolysis of mixture of benzyl chloride and benzalchloride in oil HNO3 using vanadium pentoxide as a catalyst or in the presence of hexamethylene tetramine.
Benzaldehyde should be handled with the good manufacturing practices of avoidance of contact, adequate ventilation, and cleanliness normally accorded the handling of solvents and other organic compounds.
Benzaldehyde is released to the environment in emissions from combustion processes such as gasoline and diesel engines, incinerators and wood burning.

Cyanide is converted to thiocyanate probably in the blood circulation, and certainly in the liver by the enzyme rhodanese in the presence of sulfur-bearing compounds.1,2 The circulating thiocyanate exerts certain physiological effects on blood pressure and thyroid action, and is not excreted rapidly.
The benzaldehyde formed in the intestine probably has no important function, but in the circulation forms benzoic acid and is excreted as benzaldehyde hippurate.
Benzaldehyde released through these processes at the site of the malignant lesion may be reduced to benzyl alcohol, and combine with the thiocyanate to form benzo thiocyanate.

 Amygdalin, Laetrile or Vitamin B17 for Cancer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Amygdalin consists of 2 sugar molecules, a benzaldehyde and a cyanide radical (the benzaldehyde-cyanide radical is called mandelonitrile).
In the body, the two sugar molecules are split off probably by bacteria in the colon by the enzyme beta glucosidase and are replaced by glucuronic acid to form a compound consisting of glucuronic acid bound to benzaldehyde, which is bound to cyanide (This is actually the true Laetrile).
Once glucuronic acid is split off, the remaining benzaldehyde-cyanide radical spontaneously splits off cyanide, which is toxic to the cancer cell; cancer cells do not have sufficient quantities of any enzyme capable of breaking down or converting the cyanide to another compound, whereas normal cells do; hence, there is a selective toxicity to cancer cells.

 The merging of the senses: integration of subthreshold taste and smell - Nature Neuroscience   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Sensitivity to benzaldehyde was significantly increased by the presence of a subthreshold concentration of saccharin in the mouth.
On average, benzaldehyde thresholds with saccharin in the mouth were 28% lower than the thresholds obtained alone, demonstrating summation, but not complete additivity, as found for within-modality mixtures of odors or tastes (Fig.
To explore the possibility that enhanced benzaldehyde detection was facilitated by congruency of the odor−taste pairing, eight of the original ten subjects (and two replacements) participated in a final experiment.

Studies also indicate that benzaldehyde has anti-cancer activity; it combines with cysteine in cancer cells, thereby inactivating various proteins; Cancer cells do not have enzymes capable of converting benzaldehyde, whereas normal cells do; hence, a selective toxicity to cancer cells and not normal cells.
The enzyme present in normal cells that protects against the toxicity of benzaldehyde oxidizes benzaldehyde to benzoic acid, which is further converted to hippuric acid; a compound that is discharged in the urine and protects against urinary tract infection.
Many epidemiological studies, animal studies, and clinical studies show evidence of amygdalin efficacy · Conventional medicine's position on the efficacy of amygdalin is that it has been proven ineffective, largely based on an NIH sponsored study; however, this study had several flaws.

Previous studies have shown that benzaldehyde causes the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in rat synaptosomal fractions.
Benzaldehyde has also been implicated in ROS formation in the CNS of rats treated with toluene.
Since glutathione peroxidase is the main enzyme responsible for removal of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides in brain, its inactivation by benzaldehyde may be a main contributor to the observed ROS formation and the observed neurotoxicity caused by either benzaldehyde or toluene exposure."

In one of your answers, you mentioned it was para-amino benzaldehyde.
This empirical formula is not attributed to p-amino benzaldehyde in either the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics or Lange's Handbook of Chemistry, so while it probably can be synthesized, it is not a common chemical reagent.
Since p-amino benzaldehyde has both amine and aldehyde functionality it is very likely that it will polymerize to form "poly-aldimines".

Lead author Pamela Dalton determined the threshold at which each person could no longer smell benzaldehyde, as well as the thresholds beneath which they could taste neither the sweetener saccharin nor monosodium glutamate, a "savory" flavoring also known as MSG and commonly found in Asian foods.
Then, Dalton and her colleagues combined a sample of benzaldehyde that was below this threshold with a similarly small amount of saccharin.
The researchers chose benzaldehyde and saccharin because they are commonly paired in sweet foods found in the typical American diet.
