delta-Dodecalactone Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

delta-Dodecalactone is a colorless to slightly yellowish liquid with a powerful fruity, peach-like, and oily odor. It may be produced in the same way asδ-decalactone. Similarly to δ-decalactone, it is mainly used in cream and butter flavors.

Chemical Properties

δ-Dodecalactone has a powerful, fresh, coconut-fruity, oily odor. On dilution the odor is butter-like. At low levels, it has a peach-, pear-, plum-like flavor.

Uses

delta-Dodecanolactone is used as a :flavoring agent. It is used in daily chemical essence. It is also used in agrochemical, pharmaceutical and dyestuff field.

Definition

ChEBI: Xi-5-Dodecanolide is a delta-lactone.
