Typical Properties

Product Description:
2-Pentylfuran is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct aroma, often described as green, bean-like, or fatty. It is a furan derivative with a pentyl (n-amyl) group attached to the second position of the furan ring. This compound is naturally occurring and contributes significantly to the aroma profiles of various foods, including cooked meats, coffee, and certain fruits and vegetables. Due to its characteristic scent, 2-Pentylfuran is a valuable component in the flavor and fragrance industry, and it also finds utility as a building block in organic synthesis. It is immiscible with water but soluble in most organic solvents.

Key Applications:

• Flavor and Fragrance Industry:?Widely used as an ingredient in flavor formulations to impart green, nutty, fatty, or bean-like notes, especially in meat flavors, coffee, chocolate, and various food products. Also used in fragrance compositions for its characteristic aroma.

• Food Additive:?Employed as a food additive (flavoring agent) to enhance or modify the sensory profile of processed foods.

• Organic Synthesis:?Serves as a versatile intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other specialty chemicals, by leveraging the reactivity of the furan ring.

• Research & Development:?Used in analytical chemistry to study food aroma profiles, off-flavors, and in chemical research involving furan chemistry.
