5-Hydroxymethylfurfural CAS 67-47-0 High Purity Food & Fragrance Raw Material
Product Overview
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF, CAS 67-47-0) is an important furan-based aromatic compound generated via Maillard reaction and carbohydrate dehydration. It can appear as pale yellow solid or amber oily liquid depending on purity and storage condition. The material delivers warm caramel, roasted sugar, baked nut and subtle honey notes, commonly found in baked goods, roasted coffee, caramel and honey naturally.
As a valuable flavor intermediate and flavor monomer, HMF has good solubility in water, ethanol and polar organic solvents. It is widely applied to build roasted, sweet and browned flavor profiles in food essence. Our 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural adopts strict quality control, consistent sensory characteristics, complete batch COA provided. Stable quality supports your flavor R&D and mass production.
