Diacetyl and the GERD Friendly Diet
Diacetyl is an organic compound that is naturally present in butter and contributes to its characteristic flavor. It is also synthetically produced and widely used as a flavoring agent in various food products, particularly in margarine, oil sprays, and other artificially flavored butter substitutes. Diacetyl is a diketone, which means it contains two carbonyl groups. This compound is especially noted for its strong buttery aroma and taste, making it popular in the food industry.
