Definition
A chemical compound (2,3-butanedione) that occurs naturally in butter and fermented foods, giving them a buttery or butterscotch flavor.
Etymology
From Latin/Greek bi- meaning 'two' plus acetyl, referring to two acetyl groups in the molecule. The chemical name reflects its molecular structure.
Kelly Says
Diacetyl (another name for biacetyl) became infamous when microwave popcorn workers developed a serious lung disease—it showed how a flavoring chemical safe to eat could be dangerous to inhale in concentrated form.
