Product Description
2-Methylfuran-3-thiol Acetate Food Flavor
CAS: 55764-25-5 - Features toasted bread and coffee notes with subtle onion and garlic undertones
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
- Enhanced Handling: The pure thiol (MFT) is extremely potent, volatile, and prone to oxidation, making it difficult to handle. 3-Acetylthio-2-methylfuran is a stable, relatively odorless liquid that is easy to work with in industrial settings.
- 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.
- Synergistic Formulations: Often used in conjunction with other precursors and flavor compounds to build complete and authentic meat flavor profiles.
