Product Description
Thioacetic Acid S-(2-Methyl-3-Furanyl) Ester CAS 55764-25-5
Direct manufacture of FEMA approved food additive 3-(Acetylthio)-2-methylfuran, a stable precursor for meat and savory flavors.
Product Overview
3-Acetylthio-2-methylfuran is an organosulfur compound belonging to the class of thioesters. Its primary significance lies 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 flavors.
- 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 is a stable, relatively odorless liquid that is easy to work with.
- Targeted Release: Added to food products such as dry soup mixes, snack coatings, and processed meats where it remains stable during storage. Upon cooking or preparation, heat triggers the release of fresh, potent meaty aroma exactly when needed.
- Flavor Synergy: Often used in conjunction with other precursors and flavor compounds to build complete and authentic meat flavor profiles.
This FEMA approved food additive provides reliable, controlled release of authentic meat flavors in various food applications through thermal activation.
