Benzofurans are organic compounds containing a benzene ring fused to a furan. Furan is a five-membered aromatic ring with four carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Menthofurolactone is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Menthofurolactone can be found in cornmint, which makes menthofurolactone a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
