Natural Product Identification
Common Name4-Butyl-gamma-butyrolactone
Description4-Butyl-gamma-butyrolactone, also known as 5-butyldihydro-2(3H)-furanone or 4-hydroxyoctanoic acid lactone, 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, 4-butyl-gamma-butyrolactone is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. 4-Butyl-gamma-butyrolactone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 4-Butyl-gamma-butyrolactone is a sweet, coconut, and creamy tasting compound. Outside of the human body, 4-Butyl-gamma-butyrolactone is found, on average, in the highest concentration within pineapples and bilberries. 4-Butyl-gamma-butyrolactone has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as fruits, asparagus, papaya, peachs, and evergreen blackberries. 4-Butyl-gamma-butyrolactone is found in Akebia trifoliata, Aspalathus linearis, Carica papaya, Fusarium poae, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Mangifera indica and Polygala senega. This could make 4-butyl-gamma-butyrolactone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
