Description

• General description: (+)-γ-Decalactone, the main volatile aroma compound found in peaches, can be used as a flavoring agent in the food industry due to its distinct peach odor.[1][2] It is also found in strawberries[3] and apricots.[4]
• Application: Decoding the Effect of Running on Flavor Perception Changes during Consumption of Sports Drinks.: Pu et al. investigate how physical activity affects flavor perception, particularly focusing on sports drinks. The study includes (+)-γ-Decalactone as a compound of interest due to its impact on flavor modulation during and after exercise (Pu et al., 2024).Analysis of volatile organic compounds in Korean-bred strawberries: insights for improving fruit flavor.: Jee et al. analyze volatile organic compounds in strawberries, identifying key compounds such as (+)-γ-Decalactone that contribute to fruit flavor. This research provides valuable insights for the enhancement of fruit taste in breeding programs (Jee et al., 2024).(R)-(+)-γ-Decalactone is Conserved in North America as a Pheromone Component of Osmoderma eremicola (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) and a Kairomone of Elater abruptus (Coleoptera: Elateridae).: Steffek et al. examine the role of (+)-γ-Decalactone as a pheromone and kairomone in specific beetle species, highlighting its ecological and biochemical significance (Steffek et al., 2024).
