4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethylfuran-3-one is a member of the class of furans that is 2,5-dimethylfuran carrying additional oxo and hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 4 respectively. It has been found particularly in strawberries and other such fruits. It has a role as a flavouring agent, a fragrance and a plant metabolite. It is a member of furans, an enol and a cyclic ketone. It is a conjugate acid of a 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethylfuran-3-olate. Furaneol is a natural product found in Mangifera indica, Fragaria, and other organisms with data available. Furaneol is a metabolite found in or produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A member of the class of furans that is 2,5-dimethylfuran carrying additional oxo and hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 4 respectively. It has been found particularly in strawberries and other such fruits. Flavouring agent. Furaneol is found in many foods, some of which are fruits, nuts, pulses, and cereals and cereal products. (±)-Furaneol is found in animal foods. (±)-Furaneol is a flavouring agent. Furaneol is mainly isolated from American grape (Vitis labrusca) and its hybrid grape. Furaneol is an important aroma compound in fruits and contribute to the strawberry-like note in some wines[1]. Furaneol is mainly isolated from American grape (Vitis labrusca) and its hybrid grape.
