Ethyl maltol, 2-ethyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyrone, 2-ethyl pyromeconic acid, or C7H8O3 is an analog of maltol, where the methyl group on maltol is substituted with an ethyl group. The melting point of a solid is the temperature range at which it changes state from solid to Liquid. The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the Vapor pressure of the liquid equals the environmental pressure surrounding the liquid In Chemistry, the standard state of a material is its state at 1 bar (100 Kilopascals exactly Maltol is a naturally occurring Organic compound that is used primarily as a Flavor enhancer. In Chemistry, an ethyl group is an Alkyl Functional group derived from Ethane ( C 2 H 6 It is a stable white crystalline powder at room temperature and easily dissolves in many polar liquids. "Polar molecule" and "Non-polar" redirect here Ethyl maltol has a melting point of between 89 and 93 °C, and a boiling point of 161 °C.
This chemical has a sweet odor that can be described as caramalized sugar and cooked fruit. Sugar is a class of edible Crystalline substances mainly Sucrose, Lactose, and Fructose. The term fruit has different meanings dependent on context and the term is not synonymous in Food preparation and Biology. It is an important flavourant for the food, beverage, and fragrance industry. Ethyl maltol is non-toxic, highly pleasant to human sense of smell, and easily detected by the human, with as little as 10,000 part per billion perceivable in air.
