What is 5-Decanolide?
Chemical properties
clear colorless to light yellow oily liquid
Chemical properties
5-Decanolide is a flavor constituent of many types of fruit, cheese, and other dairy products. It is a colorless, viscous liquid with a creamy-coconut, peach-like aroma.
Chemical properties
δ-Decalactone has an oily, peach odor and taste.
Occurrence
Reported found in rum, coconut, raspberry, apricot, bilberry, peach, strawberry, Swiss cheese, other cheeses, butter, milk, milk powder, mutton fat, mango and nectarine.
The Uses of 5-Decanolide
Used in pharmaceutical preparations, feed additive, flavorings agent. Also used by food and flavor industries for its coconut fragrance and taste. It is also used as a reagent in the synthesis of (±)-Massoilactone (M197600); a chemical component with antibacterial activity found in volatile oils.
Definition
ChEBI: A delta-lactone that is 5-valerolactone substituted by a pentyl group at position 6.
Preparation
δ-Decalactone can be prepared by peracid oxidation of 2-pentylcyclopentanone.
(R)-δ-decalactone is obtained in high optical purity by starting from (R)-2-
pentylcyclopentanone . Hydrogenation or fermentation of
massoia lactone is also a practicable method to produce this
enantiomer.
A newer development for the preparation ofδ-decalactone describes a carboxylation
of 1-nonen-4-ol with carbon monoxide in the presence of a homogenous
palladium catalyst in an aqueous system.
Aroma threshold values
Detection: 100 ppb
Taste threshold values
Taste characteristics at 2 ppm: waxy, coconut, lactonic, fatty, creamy, nutty and fruity.
