CAS 90-80-2: δ-Gluconolactone
Description:δ-Gluconolactone, also known as glucono-δ-lactone (GDL), is a naturally occurring cyclic ester derived from gluconic acid. It is a white, crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a slightly sweet taste. GDL is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the environment. It is commonly used as a food additive, functioning as a sequestrant, acidifier, and leavening agent in various food products. In the presence of water, δ-gluconolactone can hydrolyze to form gluconic acid, which is a mild organic acid. This property makes it useful in food preservation and as a pH regulator. Additionally, GDL has applications in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, where it is valued for its gentle exfoliating properties and ability to promote skin hydration. Its safety profile is well-established, and it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory authorities when used in appropriate amounts. Overall, δ-gluconolactone is a versatile compound with multiple applications across different sectors.
