Acetoin, also known as 3-hydroxybutanone or acetyl methyl carbinol, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH(OH)C(O)CH 3. It is a colorless liquid with a pleasant, buttery odor. It is chiral .
Butter-Vanilla flavor, a combination of butter flavor and vanilla flavor. Artificial butter flavoring is a flavoring used to give a food the taste and smell of butter.It may contain diacetyl, acetylpropionyl, or acetoin, three natural compounds in butter that contribute to its characteristic taste and smell.

In enzymology, an acetoin-ribose-5-phosphate transaldolase (EC 2.2.1.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction 3-hydroxybutan-2-one + D-ribose 5-phosphate ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } acetaldehyde + 1-deoxy-D-altro-heptulose 7-phosphate
Diacetyl reductase ((R)-acetoin forming) (EC 1.1.1.303, (R)-acetoin dehydrogenase) is an enzyme with systematic name (R)-acetoin:NAD + oxidoreductase.
Voges–Proskauer / ˈ f oʊ ɡ ə s ˈ p r ɒ s k aʊ. ər / or VP is a test used to detect acetoin in a bacterial broth culture. The test is performed by adding alpha-naphthol and potassium hydroxide to the Voges-Proskauer broth, which is a glucose-phosphate broth that has been inoculated with bacteria. A cherry red color indicates a positive ...
Acetoin dehydrogenase (EC 2.3.1.190, acetoin dehydrogenase complex, acetoin dehydrogenase enzyme system, AoDH ES) is an enzyme with systematic name acetyl-CoA:acetoin ...
Diacetyl and acetoin are two compounds that give butter its characteristic taste. Because of this, manufacturers of artificial butter flavoring , margarines or similar oil-based products typically add diacetyl and acetoin (along with beta-carotene for the yellow color) to make the final product butter-flavored, because it would otherwise be ...
