Overview of 2-Acetyl-5-Methylfuran

2-Acetyl-5-Methylfuran is a highly aromatic compound known for its sweet, caramel-like, roasted, and nutty aroma. It plays a key role in the flavour and fragrance industries due to its warm, gourmand profile that closely resembles toasted sugar, coffee, and baked goods. Naturally occurring in roasted coffee, cocoa, and bread crusts, this compound contributes to the signature notes developed during the Maillard reaction in food processing.

It is widely used in flavour formulations to add depth and warmth to sweet and savoury profiles, as well as in fragrance compositions for gourmand or oriental accords. Its excellent volatility and stability make it ideal for use in diverse product applications.
