(R)-(-)-(Z)-7-delta-decenolactone -milky, coconut, fruity, less intensive than racemate, distinctly stronger than (S)-(+) -antipode; Bourdineaud et. al. describe this as: Lactonic and proper jasmin note; jasmone and celery note is equally present. Base note: fruity, lactonic and tuberose. The more the sample is enriched in the R-(-)-enantiomer, the more the base note is heavy, lactonic and after tuberose. = (R)-(-)- delta-jasmin lactone Ref: P. Werkhoff et. al,. Z. Lebensm. Unters.

(S)-(+)-(Z)-7-delta-decenolactone - fatty, creamy, less intensive than racemate; Bourdineaud et. al. describe this as: Fatty jasmin note; upon evaporation the sample gets more coconut and tuberose like. It is this enantiomer which comes closest to the racemate: more rising and floral than the R-(-)-enantiomer. = (S)-(+)-delta-jasmin lactone Ref: P. Werkhoff et. al,. Z. Lebensm. Unters.
