General description

γ-caprolactone (GCL) is well-known as a food flavor and is a biostimulant molecule promoting the growth of bacteria with biocontrol activity against soft-rot pathogens.[1] GCL treatment stimulates growth of the native quorum sensing-degrading bacterial community in an industrial plant hydroponic system for culturing Solanum tuberosum.[2]

Application

γ-Caprolactone was used as curing agent for diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A with ytterbium triflate as an initiator.[3]
