It is found in the bark of larch tree, in pine needles, and in roasted malt (from which it gets its name). Because it has the odor of cotton candy and caramel, maltol is used to impart a sweet aroma to fragrances. Maltol's sweetness adds to the odor of freshly baked bread, and is used as a flavor enhancer (E number E636) in breads and cakes. Maltol is a biomarker for the consumption of soy beans and other soy products. 2-Hydroxy-3-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one 2-Methyl pyromeconic acid 2-Methyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyranone 2-Methyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyrone 2-Methyl-3-hydroxypyrone 2-Methyl-3-oxy-gamma-pyrone 3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-1,4-pyrone 3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyranone 3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone 3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one 3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-g-pyrone 3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-gamma-pyrone 3-Hydroxy-2-methylpyran-4-one 3-Hydroxy-2-methylpyrone 3-Hydroxy-2-pyran-4-one 4H-Pyran-4-one, 3-hydroxy-2-methyl- 5-Hydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one FEMA 2656 Laricinic acid Larixic acid Larixinic acid Maltol Palatone Talmon Veltol Vetol C6H6O3 126.11 126.031694058 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one talmon 118-71-8 CC1=C(O)C(=O)C=CO1 InChI=1S/C6H6O3/c1-4-6(8)5(7)2-3-9-4/h2-3,8H,1H3 XPCTZQVDEJYUGT-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyranones and derivatives.
