Levulinic acid Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Description

Levulinic acid has a tart, whiskey taste. It may be synthesized by the action of more or less concentrated HCL on sucrose, glucose, or fructose; hence, its reported presence in caramels.

Chemical Properties

Levulinic acid has a tart, whiskey taste.

Physical properties

Levulinic acid forms colorless crystals that are readily soluble in water, ethanol, and diethyl ether. 

Occurrence

Reported found in papaya, wheat bread, rice, sake and Chinese quince.

Uses

Levulinic acid may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in the following:
Soy sauce using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC–MS).
Liquid food samples using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID).

Preparation

By action of more or less concentrated HCl on sucrose, glucose or fructose; hence, its reported presence in caramels.

General Description

Levulinic acid, an organic acid, is mainly used as a cigarette additive.
