use | is used to prepare cream essence and is the main raw material for the production of pyrazine spices. It is mainly used to prepare food essence, is the main flavor of cream essence, and can also be used in milk, cheese and other fragrances. Such as berries, caramel, chocolate, coffee, cherries, vanilla beans, honey, cocoa, fruity, bouquet, smoke, rum, nuts, almonds, ginger, etc. GB 2760-96 stipulates that it is temporarily allowed to use edible spices. Mainly used to prepare cream, cheese fermentation flavor and coffee and other flavors. It is used to prepare cream essence and is the main raw material for the production of pyrazine spices It is mainly used to prepare food flavors. It is the main flavor of cream essence and can also be used in milk, cheese and other fragrances. Such as berries, caramel, chocolate, coffee, cherries, vanilla beans, honey, cocoa, fruity, bouquet, smoke, rum, nuts, almonds, ginger, etc. It can also be used in trace amounts in fresh fruit flavors or new flavors for makeup. It is used to prepare various milk-flavored flavors. It is a flavorant for cream, margarine, dry cool and candy. Also used as gelatin hardener, photographic binder. 2,3-Butanedione (Diacetyl), the molecule implicated in the disease known as popcorn lung, has now been implicated in amyloid-β peptide toxicity associated with Alzheimer holmium disease. Diacetyl accelerate s amyloid-β aggregation-a hallmark of Alzheimer holmium disease. These preliminary finding raise the possibility of long-term neurological toxicity mediated by DA. |

production method | in nature, succinone is widely found in essential oils of many plants, such as iris oil, angelica oil, laurel oil, etc., which is the main component of butter and other natural products. Industrial production of diketone is obtained by treating methyl ethyl ketone with nitrous acid to produce butanone oxime, and then decomposing it with dilute sulfuric acid. Or use vinyl acetylene or methyl vinyl ketone to hydrate and reoxidize. The laboratory can use selenium dioxide to oxidize butanone to make it, and also use the method of reacting diketone dioxime with sodium nitrite. It can be prepared by free method from essential oil with high content: 1 part of essential oil is added with 2 parts of phosphoric acid to generate crystalline adduct C4H6O2?2H3PO4, diacetyl is released after adding water. If phosphoric acid is added in excess, the adduct is liquid. It is obtained by special fermentation of glucose. It is synthesized with methyl ethyl ketone as the starting material. Butanone is oxidized with sodium nitrite in the presence of hydrochloric acid, hydrolyzed with sulfuric acid and distilled. |
