γ-Octalactone

Description:

γ-Octalactone, also known as 4-octanolide, is a cyclic ester with the molecular formula C8H14O2. It is characterized by its pleasant, creamy, and coconut-like aroma, making it a popular compound in the flavor and fragrance industry. This lactone is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a relatively low boiling point. γ-Octalactone is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The compound is produced naturally in various fruits and is also synthesized for commercial use. Its chemical structure features a six-membered lactone ring, which contributes to its stability and unique sensory properties. In addition to its applications in food and cosmetics, γ-octalactone is also studied for its potential biological activities, including antimicrobial properties. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Overall, γ-octalactone is a versatile compound with significant industrial relevance.

gamma-Octalactone

CAS: 104-50-7

gamma-Octalactone is a chemical substance that belongs to the group of fatty acids. It has inhibitory properties and can be used as an active ingredient in fragrances. Gamma-octalactone inhibits the synthesis of fatty acids, which are essential for cell growth, by inhibiting the enzyme acyl-CoA synthetase. The substance also has an inhibitory effect on the production of butyric acid, which is one of the main fatty acids in milk and other dairy products. Gamma-octalactone has been shown to have a potent inducing effect on neutral ph, which may indicate its use as a chemical agent in perfume or soap.
