Chemical Structure

Basic Info
Furanone is found in food such as grapes, pineapples, strawberries, coffee, mangoes, heated beef broth, and wine. However, the amount of furanone in these foods is too low to meet the daily requirements, so the majority of products in the food industry use synthetic products. Food, tobacco and beverages contain it in trace amounts. Its flavor threshold is 0.04ppb. It can have a noticeable flavor enhancement or modification effect even if added in small amounts.
Furanone has the chemical formula C6H8O3. The solid is white to light yellow and has a rich aroma of jam, fruit and caramel. After dilution, it takes on a raspberry scent. The aroma is especially strong in weak acids and it is easily oxidized. This is why the product is often stored and diluted with propylene glycol.
