CAS: 620-02-0
PRODUCT CODE: NM0600
Odour profile: Spice, Caramel, Maple
5-Methylfurfural is a flavour ingredient with caramel, maple and spicy character. Riverside Aromatics supplies this EU Natural grade for flavour development where a natural ingredient is required.
Flavour character and applications
Its warm, sweet aromatic profile makes it a useful material to evaluate in caramel, maple, cooked-sugar and brown flavour compositions. It can support the sweet side of a formulation alongside roasted or toasted ingredients; the final balance depends on the complete flavour system and use level.
A note from flavour chemistry
Coffee research has measured 5-methylfurfural in ground roasted coffee and espresso, with roasting conditions affecting its formation. This connects the molecule with the chemistry of roasted foods.
Read the coffee volatile-compound study. This food research describes the molecule, rather than the origin or manufacturing process of the supplied material.
