Product Description
2-Methyl-3-furyl thioacetate CAS: 55764-25-5
A meaty flavor food additive with exceptional stability and targeted aroma release properties.
Product Overview
2-Methyl-3-furyl thioacetate (3-Acetylthio-2-methylfuran) is an organosulfur compound belonging to the class of thioesters. Its primary significance lies not in its direct odor, but in its function as a stable precursor or "profragrance." Upon heating or hydrolysis, it releases the highly potent and valuable aroma compound 2-methyl-3-furanthiol (MFT), a key molecule in meat and savory flavors.

Industrial Applications
Flavor Industry - A Stable Precursor
3-Acetylthio-2-methylfuran becomes exceptionally valuable in industrial applications as a stable precursor for meat flavor development.
- Enhanced Handling: The pure thiol (MFT) is extremely potent, volatile, and prone to oxidation, making it difficult to handle and incorporate into food products. 3-Acetylthio-2-methylfuran, in contrast, is a stable, relatively odorless liquid that is easy to work with.
- Targeted Release Mechanism: Added to food products such as dry soup mixes, snack coatings, and processed meats, it remains stable during storage. Upon cooking or preparation by the consumer, heat triggers the release of fresh, potent meaty aroma exactly when and where it's needed.
- Synergistic Formulations: Often used in conjunction with other precursors and flavor compounds to build complete and authentic meat flavor profiles for various food applications.
