Chemistry & Uses
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
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.
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.
Synthesis route :
Maltol is a molecule of the pyran family, synthesized from kojic acid, produced naturally by certain species of fungi.
Stability :
Stable in perfumes and diverse functional bases
Other comments :
Maltol is less powerful than Ethyl maltol. Both are often associated in perfumes with a smaller proportion of Ethyl maltol.
