2,3-Butanedione (CAS 431-03-8)
QUICK LINKS
2,3-Butanedione, also known as Diacetyl, is a natural volatile organic compound (VOC) that occurs in various food items, beverages, and other consumer goods. It is formed as a byproduct during fermentation and possesses a distinctive buttery flavor and aroma. While 2,3-Butanedione has been extensively utilized in the food industry. The scientific community has conducted thorough investigations into 2,3-Butanedione, revealing its broad range of applications. It has served as a flavor enhancer in the food industry, a preservative in cosmetics. Inside the human body, 2,3-Butanedione undergoes metabolic processes facilitated by enzymes such as diacetyl reductase and diacetyl oxidase. These enzymes convert 2,3-Butanedione into acetoin, which is further metabolized into acetate and water. 2,3-Butanedione can also be transformed into other compounds like acetaldehyde and acetic acid.
