Description :
2-Methyl-3-Furanthiol is a sulfur-containing aroma chemical known for its strong roasted, meaty, and coffee-like scent. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has an extremely low odor threshold, meaning even small amounts can create a powerful aroma impact.
This compound is widely used in flavor chemistry, fragrance formulation, and food applications to develop rich, savory, and roasted notes. Because of its unique profile, it is essential in creating authentic coffee, cocoa, and cooked-meat aromas.
2-Methyl-3-Furanthiol plays a key role in:
Roasted and savory flavor formulations
Coffee, cocoa, meat, and snack seasonings
Enhancing natural aroma profiles in processed foods
It blends well with 2-Acetyl-1-Pyrroline, 2-Acetylfuran, and Ethyl Butyrate to create deep roasted, caramelized, and savory notes.
Used in:
Gourmand fragrances
Warm, roasted, and edible-themed perfumes
Specialty fragrance accords requiring earthy, smoky, or toasted notes
It pairs effectively with Dimethyl Trisulfide, Beta-Santalene, and Isoamyl Acetate to build long-lasting, complex gourmand compositions.
2-Methyl-3-Furanthiol is utilized in:
Aroma research and analytical studies
Development of sulfur-based flavor molecules
R&D laboratories for model compound studies
It acts as a reference chemical for evaluating roasted and meaty aroma characteristics.
