“…For instance, Collin and Halim (1972) reported 6-pentyl-2-pyrone, which has a coconut aroma, to be the main volatile flavor component in cultures of Trichoderma viride. Some other fungi such as Tyromyces sambuceus and Cladosporium suaveolens also produce coconut flavor emanating lactones, namely, γ-decalactone and δ-dodecalactone from ricinoleic and linoleic acid, respectively (Kapfer et al, 1989;Allegrone et al, 1991). Yeasts such as Candida tropicalis and Yarrownia lipolytica can degrade ricinoleic acid to C16, C14, and C12 acids and also accumulate δdecalactone, which exhibits fruity and oily aroma (Gatfield, 1999).…”
