Metabolite Identification
Common NameFuraneol
Description(±)-Furaneol, also known as furaneol or HDMF, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as furanones. Furanones are compounds containing a furan ring bearing a ketone group (±)-Furaneol is a sweet, almond, and candy tasting compound (±)-Furaneol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within pineapples (Ananas comosus) (±)-Furaneol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as breakfast cereal, cereals and cereal products, fruits, nuts, and pulses. This could make (±)-furaneol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods (±)-Furaneol is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on (±)-Furaneol.
