  Sotolon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Sotolon (3-hydroxy-4.5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone) is a key flavor in the french flor-sherry Vin Jaune.
Sotolon in Vin Jaune (120-268 µg/L) is produced during the development of yeast film over a period of 6 years.
Under the conditions of temperature,pH, and alcoholic content similar to the ageing of wine barrels, sotolon was formed by a purely chemical mechanism from a-ketobutyric acid and acetaldehyde.

 3-Hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone (Sotolon) Causing an Off-Flavor: Elucidation of Its Formation Pathways during ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Gas chromatography/olfactometry (GCO) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HRGC-MS) revealed 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone (sotolon) to be responsible for the "burnt" and "spicy" off-flavor observed in citrus soft drinks during storage.
Among the ingredients of citrus soft drinks, ethanol and ascorbic acid were identified as the essential precursors of sotolon.
C-labeled ethanol and ascorbic acid; i.e., sotolon is formed from two molecules of ethanol and carbons 2 and 3 of ascorbic acid (pathway 1), or it is generated from one molecule of ethanol and carbons 3-6 of ascorbic acid (pathway 2).

Maltol and sotolon were determined by selected ion storage of ions in the m/z ranges 120-153 and 79-95, using the ions m/z 126 and 83 for quantitation, respectively.
The recoveries of maltol and sotolon are constant (70 and 64%, respectively) and do not depend on the type of wine.
Sensory experiments confirmed that the complexed forms found in white wines are not perceived by orthonasal olfaction, and that the furaneol determined by the method can be considered as the free and odor-active fraction.

 Burnt Sugar Notes
The taste and aroma of brown sugar is mainly due to sotolon (which is the main flavor principal in sugar molasses).
However, Sotolon is now available commercially and is one of two extremely powerful aroma chemicals for imparting caramel-maple notes
Sotolon with a detection threshold of 0.001 ppb is nearly 30,000 time more powerful than cyclotene.

A headspace dilution series was sampled from the RAS and analyzed by CharmAnalysis GCO to produce measures of odor potency called charm.
The most potent flavor compounds in fresh raspberries were B-damascenone, diacetyl, sotolon, 1-hexen-3-one, 1-nonen-3-one, 1-octon-3-one, and (Z)-3-hexenal.
Likewise, B-damascenone, sotolon, vanillin, 1-nonen-3-one, and 1-octen-3-one showed at least 5-fold increases in charm upon heating.

Another compound that scientists are beginning to get a handle on is the mouth-watering compound called sotolon.
Sotolon reeks of toffee apples and maple syrup and contributes to the aged character of some white wines and surprisingly is always found in the great flor Sherries.

Sensory evaluations were performed on natural celery odor and a series of reconstructed model aromas by assigning each intensity ratings for a set of seven odor qualities which aptly describe the odors of raw and boiled celery.
According to the evaluation results, six common components contributed to the moderate odor of raw celery, two components dominant in raw materials enhanced the raw celery character, and four components dominant in boiled materials reduced the raw celery character and enhanced the boiled celery character.
It was clarified that boiling-induced changes in celery odor were not affected by the amounts of phthalides, but by thermally generated compounds such as sotolon, beta-damascenone, and beta-ionone, which reduce the "green spicy" note.

furanone (EHMF) with other substances as internal standards may lead to incorrect results, because sotolon and EHMF are difficult to isolate due to their high solubility in water.
Therefore a stable isotope dilution assay was developed for the quantification of sotolon and EHMF.
Boiling of the aqueous extracts of fenugreek or lovage under weakly acidic conditions significantly increased the amounts of sotolon.

 88A-12 Aroma analysis of buckwheat honey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Results indicated that 3-methylbutanal, sotolon, beta-damascenone and vanillin were the most potent odorants in buckwheat honey.
Relative high abundance of Strecker aldehydes and their corresponding acids, as well as furanones, indicated the Maillard reaction was a key pathway for aroma generation in buckwheat honey.
Based on their high potency and odor characteristics, 3-methylbutanal, methylpropanal and sotolon were primarily responsible for distinctive and characteristic malty flavor of buckwheat honey.

 It:Caramel - ChemWiki
Caramel is a compound that has been used for a long time in many different foods and drinks due to its sweet taste.
It is known under different names such as sugar lactone, caramel furanone (after its chemical name) and sotolon, but it is best known as caramel, after which the food caramel takes its name.
It has been designated an E number, E150, as it is used so often in food products as a colouring agent.

Rôle du sotolon dans l'arôme des vins doux naturels.
La présence de composés polyphénoliques, en ralentissant les phénomènes oxydatifs et en s'opposant à l'accumulation de l'éthanal indispensable à la formation du sotolon, explique les faibles quantités de cette molécule dans les vins rouges.
Nous montrons que la formation du sotolon au cours de l'élevage et du vieillissement oxydatif des vins doux naturels dépend essentiellement de phénomènes chimiques.

Since both descriptors and LRI values for the standards corresponded to that found in the samples, it was concluded that the peaks in question were due to Furaneol® and sotolone.
The addition of both Furaneol® and sotolone to fresh juice imparted an aged, cooked aroma, diminishing the fresh character of the grapefruit juice aroma.
As has been recently reported (1), the major compositional components in orange essence oil are terpenes (primarily (+)-limonene) and sesquiterpenes (such as Valencene), but the major aroma components are aldehydes and esters representing less than 4% of the total volatiles.

Vin de Xérès (F) Sherry (G) Sherry (I) Jerez (S) Unless in Sherry or another deliberately oxidised fortified wine, a sherrified aroma will almost always be due to a level of acetaldehyde that is excessive and unstable in a wine with less than 17% alcohol.
Pain-grillé (F) Toastig (G) Tostato (I) Tostado (S) In cask-fermented or oak-aged wines, toastiness is caused by volatile phenols formed from the breakdown of oak lignin, whereas in wines that have never been in contact with oak toastiness is also a bottle-aged aroma (as in stainless-steel fermented Champagne, Chardonnay, Sémillon, etc).

The taste has been described by different people as being mushroom-like, sweet, savory, woody, earthy, smoky corn-like, or inky.
Not all these descriptions sound appealing, but corn smut does have high levels of the flavor compounds, sotolon and vanillin, with high levels of glucose.
In the US, many epicureans have encouraged people to try corn smut, and it can be found on the menus of many trendy restaurants where it is often called Mexican truffle, maize mushroom, caviar Azteca, or Mexican caviar.
