Product Description
High Purity 2-Methyl-3-acetylthiofuran Thermal Reactive Meat Flavor Precursor
CAS: 55764-25-5
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
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 such as dry soup mixes, snack coatings, and 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.
