Massoia lactone is an alkyl lactone derived from the bark of the Massoia tree (Cryptocaria massoia) which is found in Papua, Indonesia though the compound can also be found as a component of cane sugar molasses, cured tobacco, and the essential oil of Sweet Osmanthus (Osmanthus fragrans). Chemically, massoia lactone can be obtained as a minor product in transfer hydrogenation of 6-amyl-α-pyrone. Massoia lactone has an odour that is described as sweet, coconut meat, , creamy, milky and waxy and, at a dilution of 20 ppm, a taste described as creamy, coconut, green, and slightly fruity.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Massoia lactone is an alkyl lactone derived from the bark of the Massoia tree (Cryptocaria massoia) which is found in Papua, Indonesia though the compound can also be found as a component of cane sugar molasses, cured tobacco, and the essential oil of Sweet Osmanthus (Osmanthus fragrans). Chemically, massoia lactone can be obtained as a minor product in transfer hydrogenation of 6-amyl-α-pyrone. Known in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as massoy bark, massoia essential oil was once widely used as a natural coconut flavouring. Natural massoia lactone has been largely superseded by a synthetic alternative because the extraction process is expensive and the process of removing the bark kills the tree. Massoia lactone has an odour that is described as sweet, coconut meat, , creamy, milky and waxy and, at a dilution of 20 ppm, a taste described as creamy, coconut, green, and slightly fruity. (en)
