Description

Gamma-valerolactone is a solid catalyst that is used in the production of biofuels. It can be used as a matrix for the solid phase microextraction of organic compounds from aqueous solutions. Gamma-Valerolactone has been shown to have an intramolecular hydrogen bonding effect and is resistant to levulinate, phenolic acids, and diethyl succinate. Gamma-Valerolactone also has high thermal expansion and can be used as a hydrogen bond donor. The antimicrobial activity of gamma-Valerolactone is due to its ability to inhibit bacterial growth by disrupting the cell membrane through zirconium oxide formation.
