Abstract
Optically active .gamma.-decalactone is produced by culturing a microorganism capable of hydrolyzing castor oil and effecting .beta.-oxidation of the resulting hydrolysate in the presence of castor oil or castor oil hydrolysate and a co-oxidant. The resulting .gamma.-hydroxydecanoic acid is lactonized to form .gamma.-decalactone.
