Description

General description

2,3-Hexanedione is a diketone commercially used in food and fragrance industries to get a buttery-cheesy taste in different foodstuffs and fragrances. It is naturally found in coffee, beer, and fermented soya beans.

Application

• Volatile organic compounds of the soil bacterium Bacillus halotolerans suppress pathogens and elicit defense-responsive genes in plants.: This research unveils how volatile organic compounds from Bacillus halotolerans, including 2,3-Hexanedione, can suppress plant pathogens and trigger defense genes. This finding could lead to natural plant protection strategies and enhance agricultural productivity (Rana et al., 2024).
