Metabolite Identification
Common 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. Its structure is that of a furan bearing a hydroxymethyl substituent at the 2-position. 2-Furanmethanol is a sweet, alcoholic and bitter tasting compound. 2-Furanmethanol has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as cereals and cereal products, potato, white mustards, arabica coffee, and cocoa and cocoa products. This could make 2-furanmethanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
