2,3-Hexanedione is used to evaluate the influence of xanthan concentration on the release of aroma compounds in xanthan-thickened food model systems. It reacts with ethylenediamine to yield macrocyclic tetradentate 12-membered nitrogen donor (N4) ligand.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
