EU Natural Gamma Nonalactone MSDS Information

DescriptionEU Natural Gamma Nonalactone (5-Pentyloxolan-2-one) is a colorless to pale yellow clear oily liquid. It is found in bourbon whiskey, black currant berries, melon, papaya, pineapple, fresh blackberry, etc.1,2 It has a creamy and coconut-like odor.3 It is used as a flavoring agent in food to give coconut flavor. It is also a potential multi-species attractant lure for grain beetle pests.4

Descriptionγ-Nonalactone has a strong odor reminiscent of coconut and a fatty, peculiar taste. May be synthesized by reacting methylacry- late and hexanol in the presence of ditertiarybutyl peroxide; by condensation of undecylenic acid and malonic acid; by lactonizα- tion of nonenoic acid.
Chemical Propertiesγ-Nonalactone has a strong odor reminiscent of coconut and a fatty, peculiar taste.
Chemical PropertiesEU Natural Gamma Nonalactone occurs in many foods and is a pale yellow liquidwith a coconut-like aroma. It has numerous applications, similarly to those of ??-octalactone, in aroma compositions and perfumery.
OccurrenceReported found in peaches, apricots, roasted barely, rum, tomato, currants, guava, raisin, papaya, peach, pineapple, blackberry, strawberry jam, asparagus, wheat and crispbread, Camembert cheese, butter, milk, chicken, beef, lamb and pork fat, cooked beef and pork, beer, cognac, whiskies, sherry, grape wines, cocoa, green tea, pecan, oats, soybean, avocado, passion fruit, plum, plumcot, beans, mushroom, starfruit, fenugreek, mango, tamarind, rice, prickly pear, buckwheat, licorice, malt, wort, cherimoya, Bourbon vanilla, shrimp, nectarine, maté and sweet grass oil.
UsesEU Natural Gamma Nonalactone is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a colorless to yellow liquid of strong, coconut-like odor. It is soluble in most fixed oils, mineral oil, and propylene glycol. It is stable in acids and unstable in alkali and should be stored in glass, tin, or aluminum containers. It is used in coconut flavors and has application in gelatins, puddings, baked goods, candy, and ice cream at 11–55 ppm. It is also termed aldehyde c-18.
PreparationBy reacting methylacrylate and hexanol in the presence of ditertiarybutyl peroxide; by condensation of undecylenic acid and malonic acid by lactonization of nonenoic acid
Aroma threshold valuesDetection: 7 ppb
Taste threshold valuesTaste characteristics at 10 ppm: coconut, creamy, waxy with fatty milky notes
Safety ProfileModerately toxic by ingestion. A skin irritant. Mutation data reported. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ALDEHYDES.
