Gamma-Decalactone — CAS 706-14-9
Gamma-Decalactone — CAS 706-14-9
Gamma-decalactone (CAS 706-14-9) is a naturally occurring lactone aroma compound and one of the most important peach character ingredients in flavor and fragrance formulation. UAB An Group Export supplies it in food and fragrance grades, matched to each customer's formulation and application requirements.
It is characterized by a powerful, diffusive, true-to-nature peach aroma — fuller and more intensely fruity than its longer-chain relative gamma-dodecalactone, with less of the creamy coconut character. Its strength, natural occurrence in ripe peaches and other stone fruits, and broad regulatory approval across major markets make it a core ingredient in peach flavor compositions and fruity fragrance structures globally.
For industrial buyers, supply is coordinated around grade, purity, volume, packaging, and delivery destination, in line with applicable product and food-safety regulations. Bulk and commercial orders are both handled — send your requirements and we'll prepare a quote covering supply, packaging, logistics, and delivery.
Gamma-Decalactone vs. Gamma-Dodecalactone — Which Lactone Do You Need?
Gamma-decalactone delivers a powerful, diffusive, true peach character — the dominant lactone in ripe peach aroma, with strong fruity impact at low usage levels. Gamma-dodecalactone (CAS 2305-05-7) has a richer, creamier, more coconut-like character with softer peach facets and greater tenacity. The two are frequently used in combination to build fuller, more naturalistic peach profiles — gamma-decalactone providing the top-note peach impact, gamma-dodecalactone contributing body, creaminess, and longevity. If you are unsure which lactone or combination suits your formulation target, include your flavor or fragrance brief in your quotation request and we will advise accordingly.
Key Applications
Food & Beverage FlavoringThe primary lactone used in peach flavor compositions for confectionery, dairy, beverages, baked goods, and fruit preparations. FEMA GRAS listed (FEMA 2360) and permitted under EU flavoring regulations. Used at low levels due to its high flavor impact and diffusivity.
Fine Fragrance & PerfumeryA core fruity lactone in fine fragrance composition, contributing true peach character and diffusivity to fruity, floral, and gourmand fragrance structures. Widely used in feminine and unisex fragrance profiles.
Functional FragranceUsed in household and personal care product fragrancing including fabric care, skin care, and hair care formulations where authentic peach and fruity notes are required.
Personal Care & CosmeticsUsed as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetic and personal care product formulations.
Flavor CompoundingUsed as a primary raw material in peach, apricot, nectarine, and mixed stone fruit flavor compound production.
