Application:	Effect of osmotic dehydration combined with vacuum freeze-drying treatment on characteristic aroma components of peach slices.: This study explores the impact of combined osmotic dehydration and vacuum freeze-drying on the aroma components of peach slices. γ-Octalactone was identified as a key compound contributing to the enhanced aroma profile, providing insights into improving the sensory qualities of dehydrated fruits (Wang et al., 2024 ). The Application of Synthetic Flavors in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Rearing with Emphasis on Attractive Ones: Effects on Fish Development, Welfare, and Appetite.: This research investigates the use of synthetic flavors, including γ-Octalactone, in zebrafish rearing. The study found that γ-Octalactone significantly improved fish development, welfare, and appetite, highlighting its potential in aquaculture applications (Conti et al., 2023 ).
