What is Diacetyl?
Diacetyl (2,3-butanedione) is a naturally occurring compound produced during fermentation and present in dairy products like butter and cheese. It is widely used as a flavoring agent to impart a creamy, buttery aroma in foods and beverages. Despite its strong sensory appeal, diacetyl must be used in controlled levels due to regulatory and occupational safety considerations.

 

Advantages:

  • Strong butter-like aroma even at ppm levels
  • Enhances indulgent and savory profiles
  • Complements cheese, caramel, and dairy-type flavors
  • Highly effective in popcorn, sauces, and margarine

Applications:

  • Microwave popcorn and butter sauces
  • Cheese-flavored snacks and condiments
  • Caramel and dairy-based desserts
  • Dairy flavoring in vegan or plant-based products

FAQs:

  • Is diacetyl safe? Approved for food use in small quantities; occupational inhalation exposure is regulated.
  • Is it natural? Occurs naturally in fermented foods; also synthesized for use.
  • Is it used in e-liquids? Rarely now, due to inhalation concerns.
  • Does it affect flavor stability? It is volatile and may degrade under heat or storage if not stabilized.
