Uses5-Methyl-2-furaldehyde is used as a perfuming agent. It is used a smoke with essence.
Uses5-methylfurfural is an intermediate for the synthesis of s-bioallethrin and prallethrin.It used for blending coffee, chocolate, nuts, caramel, spices and on food fragrance. Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates.
PreparationFrom sucrose with HCl, followed by treating with stannous chloride; 5-Methyl furfural is produced by distillation of various methylpentoses with acid together.
DefinitionChEBI: 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde is a member of furans and an aldehyde. It has a role as a Maillard reaction product, a human metabolite, an EC 2.2.1.6 (acetolactate synthase) inhibitor and a flavouring agent.
Aroma threshold valuesDetection: 6 ppm
Taste threshold valuesTaste characteristics at 50 ppm: sweet, brown, caramellic, grain, maple-like.

General Description5-Methylfurfural is formed during the photoexposition of ranitidine hydrochloride. It is employed as potential age marker for Madeira wine. It is a volatile compound present in Lavandula stoechas, Lavandula angustifolia and Lavandula angustifolia x latifolia unifloral honeys.
Metabolic pathwayThe biotransformation of 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde is the conversion to 5-methylfuroylgycine and 5-methyl-2- furylmethylketone by rats.
