Chemical Information
FooDB NameHomofureanol
DescriptionHomofureanol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as furanones. Furanones are compounds containing a furan ring bearing a ketone group. Homofureanol is a sweet, butterscotch, and candy tasting compound. Homofureanol has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as natal plums (Carissa macrocarpa), red tea, american cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon), japanese persimmons (Diospyros kaki), and spearmints (Mentha spicata). This could make homofureanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Homofureanol.
