Chemical Information
FooDB Name2-Furanmethanol
Description2-Furanmethanol, also known as 2-furylcarbinol or furfural alcohol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as heteroaromatic compounds. Heteroaromatic compounds are compounds containing an aromatic ring where a carbon atom is linked to an hetero atom. 2-Furanmethanol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 2-Furanmethanol is a sweet, alcoholic, and bitter tasting compound. 2-Furanmethanol has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as coffee and coffee products, cocoa and cocoa products, tortilla chips, arabica coffee, and sesames. This could make 2-furanmethanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
