Also known as Maltol, 2-Methyl pyromeconic acid, 4H-Pyran-4-one, 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-, Vetol, larixic acid, Palatone, 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-pyran-4-one, 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyranone

Maltol is a naturally occurring organic compound that is used primarily as a flavor enhancer. It is found in nature in the bark of larch trees and in the needles of pine trees, and is produced during the roasting of malt (from which it gets its name) and in the baking of bread. It has the odor of caramel and is used to impart a pleasant aroma to foods and fragrances.

マルトール(Maltol)は天然に存在する有機化合物で、香料、食品添加物として用いられる。IUPAC名は3-ヒドロキシ-2-メチル-4H-ピラン-4-オン(3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one)、CAS番号[118-71-8]。常温では白色結晶で、熱水や極性溶媒に溶ける。天然には松葉などに含まれ、また糖類を熱分解したとき(カラメル、パンや焼き菓子など)に生成し、これらの甘い香りの原因の一つである。マルトールという名も焦がした麦芽(英語: malt)に由来する。
