US Natural Gamma Decalactone Usage And Synthesis


Chemical Properties

γ-Decalactone has a pleasant, fruity, peach-like odor.

Chemical Properties

clear colourless to pale yellow liquid

Chemical Properties

US Natural Gamma Decalactone is present in a wide variety of foods and is an almost colorless liquid with an intensely fruity odor,reminiscent of peaches. It is used in perfumery for heavy, fruity flower odors and in aroma compositions, particularly peach flavors.

Occurrence

Reported found in peach, apricot and strawberry aroma. Also reported in butter, milk, beer, rum, red and white wine, mango, bilberry, plums, prunes, guava, peach, strawberry fruit and cheeses.

Preparation

US Natural Gamma Decalactone is produced biotechnologically starting from ricinoleic acid, which is degraded by β-oxidation to 4-hydroxydecanoic acid, which lactonizes at lower pH to yield γ-decalactone

Aroma threshold values

Detection: 1 to 11 ppb

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: creamy, fatty, oily, buttery sweet, coconut, fruity and peach-like.

Chemical Synthesis

By heating γ-bromocapric acid in a sodium carbonate solution; by prolonged heating of 9-decen-1-oic acid with 80% H2SO2 at 90°C
