Methyl 2-thiofuroate Typical Properties

Product Introduction:

Methyl 2-Thiofuroate is an organosulfur compound derived from furan, featuring a thiocarboxylate functional group. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a very strong, characteristic aroma. This compound is highly valued in the flavor industry for its intense, complex profile which includes notes of roasted coffee, meat, sulfur, and a slightly nutty or malty undertone. Its potency means it is used at extremely low concentrations in flavor formulations.

Main Uses:

1. Coffee Flavoring: Methyl 2-Thiofuroate is a crucial component in creating and enhancing authentic coffee flavors. It contributes significantly to the roasted, sulfury, and full-bodied notes found in freshly brewed coffee, making it indispensable for instant coffee, coffee-flavored beverages, and confectionery products.

2. Savory and Meat Flavors: Due to its robust sulfury, roasted, and slightly meaty notes, it is effectively used in savory flavor compositions. This includes applications in meat extracts, broths, gravies, and various processed savory foods, where it adds depth and authenticity.

3. Roasted and Cooked Flavors: It is employed in a variety of other food applications where a cooked, toasted, or roasted character is desired, such as in certain baked goods, snacks, and cereal products, to impart specific desirable nuances.

4. Flavor & Fragrance Industry: As a powerful impact aroma chemical, Methyl 2-Thiofuroate is a vital tool for flavorists to build sophisticated and authentic flavor compositions, particularly when seeking to replicate the complex profiles of cooked, roasted, or fermented foods and beverages.
