Natural
Gamma-Octalactone
A powerful, soft, and fresh lactonic note
A colorless liquid with a suave, indulgent aroma, natural gamma-octalactone produced by Ennolys evokes characteristic notes of coconut and warm milk, with a fresh minty finish. It serves as a fresher alternative to gamma-nonalactone. This molecule is prized in flavor formulations for its creamy, rounded, and tropical accents, which enrich indulgent, dairy, and exotic fruit profiles.
Extracted through natural fermentation from plant-based substrates, Ennolys’ gamma-octalactone is 100% of natural origin and manufactured at our facility in Soustons, France. This controlled, environmentally friendly process ensures consistent quality that meets the demands of the food industry. The molecule is declared a “natural flavoring substance” in accordance with European Regulation No. 1334/2008 and U.S. FDA Regulation 21 CFR 101.22 (3).
