  • Applications

    δ-Dodecalactone is a creamy, peach-and-coconut scented macrocyclic lactone employed as a potent flavor and fragrance ingredient in confectionery, beverages, dairy products, nutritional foods and tobacco; it enriches fruit bases, softens fatty notes and delivers buttery depth, while also functioning as a biodegradable solvent, skin-friendly emollient in cosmetics and perfumes, flavor modulator in edible packaging, analytical marker for aroma quality control, and palatability enhancer in premium pet and livestock feeds.
