Lactone (Massoia)

Massoia lactone was formerly from the Massoia wood, a tree that grows all over Malaysia. Lactone is condensed from the tree's bark. And one could easily believe that lactone is the resin but lactone is in fact a chemical substance that is secreted. Formerly Massoia lactone were used to flavor products with coconut flavor. Today, however lactone from the tree has been replaced by synthetic alternatives when the process of the natural lactone kills the tree.

Massoia scent is creamy, milky and sweet with a hint of coconut.
