描述
Furaneol (keto form), also known as 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2h)-furanone or hdmf, is a member of the class of compounds known as furanones. Furanones are compounds containing a furan ring bearing a ketone group. Furaneol (keto form) is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Furaneol (keto form) can be found in a number of food items such as globe artichoke, nuts, quinoa, and purslane, which makes furaneol (keto form) a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
