γ-Hexalactone Natural, 97%, FG, product number W255611, is a colorless liquid with coconut, coumarin, creamy, oily, waxy, herbaceous, nutty, and vanilla organoleptic properties. Gamma-Hexalactone finds common use as a replacement for coumarin; a once treasured vanilla flavor additive. Most early beverage cream flavors were coumarin-based. When coumarin was banned as a food additive in numerous countries, coumarin replacement projects were initiated in a vain effort to find comparable replacements, none really worked.
Today gamma-hexalactone finds applications in various nut, coconut and vanilla flavors. It imparts a ripe nuance to cherry, banana, peach and mango fruit flavors without becoming jammy. It is beneficial in malt, honey, butterscotch and graham flavors. Potential applications are coffee, whiskey flavors; nut and grain applications such as bread and yeast dough additives and tea top notes.
