Chemical Information
FooDB Name4-Propyl-gamma-butyrolactone
DescriptionDihydro-5-propyl-2(3H)-furanone belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-member ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and bears a ketone group on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom. Thus, dihydro-5-propyl-2(3H)-furanone is considered to be a fatty ester. Dihydro-5-propyl-2(3H)-furanone is a sweet, caramel, and coconut tasting compound. Dihydro-5-propyl-2(3H)-furanone has been detected, but not quantified in, asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) and peaches (Prunus persica). This could make dihydro-5-propyl-2(3H)-furanone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Dihydro-5-propyl-2(3H)-furanone.
