Basic Info
Angelica lactone occurs naturally in many plants, including angelica. Its chemical composition is a five-membered ring with the molecular formula C5H6O2; its relative molecular weight is 98.1. The structural characteristics of the lactone indicate that it’s an unsaturated one, as evidenced by its presence of double carbon-carbon bonds and ester group. Its structure makes it a chemically active substance that is susceptible to reactions like addition and hydrolysis.
This compound has specific physical characteristics, including being liquid at room temperatures, having a distinct odor, and exhibiting some degree of volatility. Its solubility can be characterized by a high solubility when dissolved in organic solvents but a relatively low solubility when dissolved in water. These properties are closely linked to the lactone rings and carbon-carbon double bond in its molecular structures. They also determine its behavior when it comes to chemical analysis, separation, and purification.

Angelica lactone, which is used in the food industry as a flavoring, has a unique combination of fruity and milky notes. It also has a long-lasting and rich aroma. Angelica lactone is used as a flavoring in many different foods. Addition of an angelica lactone to dairy products like milk, yogurt and cream can improve the richness and aroma, while masking minor off flavors. It enhances the flavor of baked goods such as biscuits, breads, and cakes by adding a sweet, warm aroma. Its excellent thermal stability also prevents the volatile component from escaping during baking at high temperatures, meeting safety standards for food additives.


Angelica lactone is a potent intermediate in the drug development process due to its biological activity. This is because of its unique chemical structure. Its pharmacological properties have been demonstrated in research, including its anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties. It can be modified and engineered to produce derivatives that are more targeted for therapeutic purposes in diseases related to its structure. Angelica lactone is also useful in compound formulations for enhancing their efficacy. The pharmacological research continues in this field.
Angelica lactone is an important organic synthesis intermediate. It can be used to prepare a wide range of compounds. Its lactone ring is highly reactive and capable of opening up the ring with alcohols or amines, forming esters or amides. These products are used as plasticizers, monomers, and solvents in polymer materials. Angelica lactone, when polymerized by a catalyst, can produce polymers that have specific properties. These polymers are used to make coatings, adhesives and other products.


Angelica lactone is used in agriculture as a pesticide adjuvant or plant growth regulator. Angelica lactone in the right amounts can be used to promote seed germination, seedling growth, and plant metabolism. It also improves crop resistance. It can be used as a pesticide to improve the adhesion of pesticides and their penetration on plants, reduce pesticide use, and increase pesticide efficiency.
Angelica lactone, a component of fragrances and food flavors, is used not only in household fragrances but also as a flavoring in foods. The warm, milky, and sweet notes of angelica lactone add a unique scent to perfumes, detergents, and soaps. Combining it with other fragrances such as vanillin or ethylmaltol enhances the harmony and longevity of the fragrance. Angelica lactone has a soothing aroma that creates a warm, comfortable environment. It is a popular ingredient in aromatherapy products.
