Furaneol CAS#3658-77-3
Furaneol is a very important aroma chemical and is a key flavoring compound found in many kinds of fruits. It can be chemically formed through different carbohydrates during the Mainlard reaction. It can also be synthesized by yeast, bacteria and plants and play some physiological effects. Study has shown that it can suppress the phosphorylation of cAMP response element binding protein, underlying its potential role as an effective inhibitor of hyperpigmentation. It also has the potential to become an effective antimicrobial agent for human beings.A member of the class of furans that is 2,5-dimethylfuran carrying additional oxo and hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 4 respectively. It has been found particularly in strawberries and other such fruits.
