Product Description:
5-Methyl-2-(methylthio)furan is an organic compound highly prized in the flavor and fragrance industry for its potent and complex aroma profile. It presents as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, characteristic odor often described as sulfurous, roasted, coffee-like, meaty, and nutty. This compound is a significant contributor to the natural aroma of various foods, particularly those that undergo thermal processing, such as roasted coffee, cooked meats, and popcorn.
Due to its impactful aromatic properties, 5-Methyl-2-(methylthio)furan is extensively used at very low concentrations in food and beverage formulations to impart or enhance specific savory, roasted, and cooked notes. It adds depth and authenticity to flavor profiles, making it a valuable tool for flavorists. It also finds application in academic and industrial research for understanding complex flavor chemistry. Given its strong odor, proper handling with adequate ventilation and personal protective equipment is recommended.
