Metabolite Identification
Common Name5-methyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde
Description5-Methyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde, also known as 5-methyl-2-furfural or 2-formyl-5-methylfuran, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aryl-aldehydes. Aryl-aldehydes are compounds containing an aldehyde group directly attached to an aromatic ring. 5-Methyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde is an almond, burnt sugar, and caramel tasting compound. 5-methyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as green bell peppers, red bell peppers, pepper (c. frutescens), orange bell peppers, and pepper (c. annuum). This could make 5-methyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
