Massoi bark oil

The closely related 5-decanolide (5-decalactone), not only found in many fruits but also found in dairy products, exhibits a creamy-coconut, peach-like aroma [49] and can be synthesised from the corresponding a,(3-unsaturated lactone 2-decen-5-olide found in concentrations of up to 80% in Massoi bark oil using basidiomycetes or baker s yeast [229]. After about 16 h of fermentation, 1.2 g 5-decanolide was obtained. At the same time, the minor lactone in...
