5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties | Beige Coloured Crystalline Solid |
Uses | An antioxidant for grape and apple juice. |
Uses | As an indicator for excess heat-treatment in sugar-containing food. |
Definition | ChEBI: A member of the class of furans that is furan which is substituted at positions 2 and 5 by formyl and hydroxymethyl substituents, respectively. Virtually absent from fresh foods, it is naturally generated in sugar-containing foods during storage, and espec ally by drying or cooking. It is the causative component in honey that affects the presystemic metabolism and pharmacokinetics of GZ in-vivo. |
Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 59, p. 7259, 1994 DOI: 10.1021/jo00103a016 |
Safety Profile | Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data.Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ALDEHYDES |
Metabolic pathway | When 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF) is administered orally or intravenously to rats, HMF or its metabolites are rapidly eliminated in the urine with the recovery of 95 ? 100% after 24 h. HMF is completely converted to two metabolites which are identified as 5- hydroxymethyl-2-furoic acid and N-(5-hydroxymethyl-2- furoyl)glycine. |
Purification Methods | Crystallise it from diethyl r/pet r. [Beilstein 18 III/IV 100, 18/1 V 130.] |
