DescriptionQuercuslactone a 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. Quercuslactone a is a burnt, celery, and coconut tasting compound. Quercuslactone a has been detected, but not quantified in, alcoholic beverages.
