Flavour character and applications
Evaluate this material in maple, caramel and cooked-sugar accords, or as a sweet aromatic complement to roasted ingredients. Its contribution should be assessed within the finished flavour system, where other ingredients and use level determine the balance.
A note from flavour chemistry
A study of ground roasted coffee and espresso measured 5-methylfurfural and found that roasting speed influenced its formation. The molecule therefore offers an interesting connection between a flavour ingredient and the chemistry of coffee roasting.
