Description

(Z)-6-Dodecen-γ-Lactone,Dihydro-5-(2-Octenyl)-2(3H)-Furanone,4-Hydroxy-γ-Lactone-6-Dodecenoicacid is a high-purity lactone compound valued for its unique organoleptic properties and structural versatility. It serves as a critical building block and flavor/fragrance ingredient, offering a powerful, creamy, and peach-like aroma profile. This product is essential for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, food additive, and fine chemical synthesis industries seeking consistent quality and reliable supply for their formulations.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: A key component in creating and enhancing creamy, buttery, and fruity (especially peach, apricot, coconut) flavor and fragrance compositions for perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care products.
• Food Additives: Used as a synthetic flavoring agent to impart rich, dairy-like notes in processed foods, beverages, confectionery, and dairy product analogs.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile chiral intermediate or precursor in the synthesis of more complex molecules for pharmaceutical research and specialty chemicals.
• Aroma Chemicals: Employed in the production of high-value aroma chemicals where its specific stereochemistry and lactone functionality are required.
• Functional Fluids & Lubricants: Potential use as a base or additive in specialty biodegradable lubricants due to its ester-like structure.

Quality Control

Our (Z)-6-Dodecen-γ-Lactone is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key specifications such as assay, isomeric purity, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment aligns with standards relevant to the flavor/fragrance (FEMA, FCC) and fine chemical industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and heat sources. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere to maintain optimal stability.
