Description

Liquid


Liquid|colourless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity, peach-like odour


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.


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


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.

gamma-Decalactone Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

It is formed by heating and cyclizing 9-decenoic acid (or ω-undecylenic acid) and 80% sulfuric acid at 90℃ for a long time. Using Y-1γ-decanolactone yeast (selected by Tianjin Institute of Light Industry in 2000) for biological preparation in the following nutrient base: peptone 3.5g/L; yeast extract 2.5g/L; KH2PO40.5g/L; Na2HPO4 1.2g/L; MgSO4?7H2O 2.4g/L; castor oil 4%, antifoaming agent 0.4%, starting with Ph 7.0, and finally γ-decanolactone in the fermentation broth can reach 400mg/L.

Uses

Used to formulate fruit-flavored essence, feed flavoring agent, etc.


Odor agents


Air care products


γ-Decalactone may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in fruit beverages using different chromatography techniques.
