1-(3-hydroxy-2-furyl)ethanone Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White crystalline powder or granular crystals. Slightly soluble In water, soluble in alcohol.Volatile with steam, sublimes before 100℃.

Uses

Iso-Maltol which has been identified in baked bread, has not achieved the popularity of Mahol, which is also more stable. Maltol is more versatile and lends enormously sweet fruity notes besides of its caramellic effect.
