Application Overview
δ-Decalactone is indispensable across the flavor and fragrance industries for its characteristic creamy and fruity notes and excellent fixative properties:
Dairy and Cream Flavors: It is a core component in the flavor industry to create highly realistic butter, cream, milk fat, and cheese flavors. Its stability makes it ideal for use in margarine, bakery shortenings, and dairy beverage bases.
Fruit Flavors (Peach, Apricot, Mango): It provides the authentic creamy, fleshy, and cooked fruit nuance essential for realistic peach, apricot, mango, and coconut flavors in confectionery, beverages, and baked goods.
Fine Fragrances: In perfumery, it is used to introduce a warm, sweet, lactonic, and fruity base note. It blends exceptionally well in oriental, gourmand, and tropical floral accords (e.g., tuberose, tiare), providing richness and fixative qualities.
Beverage and Confectionery: Used in the formulation of fruit-flavored beverages, candies, and syrups where a long-lasting, sweet, and deep fruit character is required.
Why Choose Aure Chemical for δ-Decalactone?
Aure Chemical offers δ-Decalactone (CAS 705-86-2) with a focus on maximizing natural fidelity, ensuring food safety, and providing advanced technical insights.
Chiral Purity for Authenticity: δ-Decalactone is a chiral molecule, and its olfactory profile is highly dependent on the enantiomeric ratio. We offer grades with a high R-enantiomer purity, which provides the most authentic, natural-tasting peach and creamy notes, preferred in high-end flavor applications.
Full Heavy Metal and Mycotoxin Screening: For our flavor-grade materials, we go beyond standard testing to include rigorous screening for trace heavy metals and mycotoxins. This ensures the highest standard of safety and purity, crucial for pharmaceutical and food/beverage manufacturing.
Dual Kosher/Halal Verification: Our manufacturing process and ingredient sourcing are fully compliant with strict dietary and religious standards, providing certified Kosher and Halal documentation. This ensures your products can access all global consumer segments without friction.
Targeted Melting Point Management: Given its low melting point, we provide customers with specific crystallization data and storage recommendations tailored to their geography and climate, ensuring the product remains liquid and easily managed during blending, minimizing waste and handling issues.
