Product Description
High Purity S-(2-methyl-3-furyl) ethanethioate CAS: 55764-25-5
Complete and authentic meat flavor precursor for industrial applications.
Product Overview
3-(Acetylthio)-2-methylfuran is an organosulfur compound belonging to the class of thioesters. Its primary significance lies not in its own 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
3-Acetylthio-2-methylfuran becomes exceptionally valuable in industrial applications as a stable precursor for meat flavor development.
Flavor Industry - A Stable Precursor
- Enhanced Handling: The pure thiol (MFT) is extremely potent, volatile, and prone to oxidation, making it very 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: Added to food products (e.g., dry soup mixes, snack coatings, processed meats) where it remains stable during storage. Upon cooking or preparation by the consumer, the heat triggers the release of the 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 a complete and authentic meat flavor profile.
This compound provides reliable, controlled release of authentic meat flavors in various food applications, ensuring consistent performance and ease of handling in industrial manufacturing processes.
