gamma-Decalactone Chemical Properties, Uses, Production
Chemical Properties
γ-Decalactone has a pleasant, fruity, peach-like odor.
Chemical Properties
clear colourless to pale yellow liquid
Chemical Properties
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.
Uses
γ-Decalactone may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in fruit beverages using different chromatography techniques.
Definition
ChEBI: Gamma-decalactone is a gamma-lactone that is oxolan-2-one substituted by a hexyl group at position 5. It has a role as a flavouring agent, a food additive and an anticonvulsant. It is a gamma-lactone and a tetrahydrofuranone.
Preparation
Naturalγ-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.
