CAS 513-86-0: Acetoin

Description: Acetoin, also known as 3-hydroxybutan-2-one, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C4H8O2. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic buttery aroma, often associated with fermented products. Acetoin is a ketone and a dihydroxy compound, featuring both a hydroxyl group and a carbonyl group in its structure. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications. Acetoin is commonly used as a flavoring agent in the food industry, particularly in dairy products and baked goods, due to its pleasant taste and aroma. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals and is utilized in the production of certain pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. In terms of safety, acetoin is generally recognized as safe when used in food, but like many chemicals, it should be handled with care to avoid potential health risks associated with inhalation or skin contact.
