Comprehensive Introduction
2-Methylfuran (CAS 534-22-5) is a low molecular weight furan derivative with a distinctive sweet, roasted nut-like aroma, widely recognized in the flavor and fragrance industry. Produced from renewable agricultural biomass such as corncobs through catalytic conversion of furfural, it meets the dual requirements of natural origin and sensory impact.
With FEMA No. 3328 registration and high purity (≥99.5%), this bio-derived aromatic compound is a preferred ingredient in natural flavor systems-particularly in applications that mimic baked, nutty, caramelized, and smoky profiles. It complies with global flavor safety regulations and offers a sustainable alternative to synthetic aromatics.
