Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Butyl-gamma-butyrolactone
Description4-Butyl-gamma-butyrolactone, also known as 4-octanolide or 5-butyldihydro-2(3H)-furanone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-member ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and bears a ketone group on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom. Thus, 4-butyl-gamma-butyrolactone is considered to be a fatty ester. 4-Butyl-gamma-butyrolactone is a sweet, coconut, and creamy tasting compound. 4-Butyl-gamma-butyrolactone is found, on average, in the highest concentration within pineapples (Ananas comosus) and bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus). 4-Butyl-gamma-butyrolactone has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as asparagus (Asparagus officinalis), tortilla chip, peaches (Prunus persica), blackberries (Rubus), and papayas (Carica papaya). This could make 4-butyl-gamma-butyrolactone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 4-Butyl-gamma-butyrolactone is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 4-Butyl-gamma-butyrolactone.
