 |  | DIHYDROACTINIDIOLIDE Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | (+/–)-(2,6,6-Trimethyl-2-hydroxycyclohexylidene) acetic acid gamma-lactone has a powerful musky or coumarin like
odor. As this compound is formed from photooxidation of carotene-like structures, its taste is related to certain fruit types at their
peak of ripeness. |  | Occurrence | Reportedly present in lemongrass and sweet grass oil. |  | Definition | ChEBI: Dihydroactinidiolide is a member of benzofurans. |  | Preparation | Prepared in a patented process by degradation of beta-carotene in the presence of nitrogen and air. |
