Product Description
Product Detail
Gamma-octalactone is a gamma-lactone that is oxolan-2-one substituted by a butyl group at position 5. It is a volatile compound found in peaches, mangoes, beef and ham. It has a role as a fungal metabolite, a mouse metabolite, a mammalian metabolite, an insect attractant, a plant metabolite and a flavouring agent. It is a gamma-lactone, a tetrahydrofuranone and a volatile organic compound. It is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a stable, colorless to slightly yellow liquid of peach odor.

Gamma Octalactone Cas 104-50-7
Gamma-octalactone is also known as Gamma-Octanoic lactone, 4-Octanolide . y-Octalactone has a strong, fruity odor reminiscent of coconut with a very sweet taste. This substance may be prepared synthetically from epoxy-1,2-hexane and sodio-malonic ester; after saponification the oxyacid is extracted with ether and is lactonized. gamma-Octanoic lactone occurs as an aroma constituent in many processed and unprocessed foods. It is a pale yellow liquid with a fruity/coconut-like odor and is used both in aroma compositions and in heavy blossom perfumes.
