DIHYDROACTINIDIOLIDE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

(+/–)-(2,6,6-Trimethyl-2-hydroxycyclohexylidene) acetic acid gamma-lactone has a powerful musky or coumarin like odor. As this compound is formed from photooxidation of carotene-like structures, its taste is related to certain fruit types at their peak of ripeness.

Occurrence

Reportedly present in lemongrass and sweet grass oil.

Definition

ChEBI: Dihydroactinidiolide is a member of benzofurans.

Preparation

Prepared in a patented process by degradation of beta-carotene in the presence of nitrogen and air.
