Uses
Other comments :
Maltol is less powerful than Ethyl maltol. Both are often associated in perfumes with a smaller proportion of Ethyl maltol.
Stability :
Stable in perfumes and diverse functional bases
Uses in perfumery :
Maltol is used in gourmet notes. Allows to bring a gourmet effect in woody, floral and fruity notes in particular, then bringing strength, character and sensuality. Often put aside in perfumery for the benefit of Ethyl maltol. Both molecules can also be associated, but with a lower amount of Ethyl maltol, compared to Maltol.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Isomerism :
Methyl Furoate is a constitutional isomer of Maltol. They both belong to families of molecules having olfactive similarities : furans and pyrans. Both families have foody and roasted notes.
Synthesis precursor :
Maltol is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Natural availability :
Maltol is present in pine needles (Abies balsamea especially), beech wood and young larval wood (a conifer), from which it can be extracted in its natural state. It is produced by burning the wood and extracting the tar.
Synthesis route :
Maltol is a molecule of the pyran family, synthesized from kojic acid, produced naturally by certain species of fungi.
