What is TETRAHYDROFURFURYL ACETATE?
Chemical properties
Colorless liquid. Soluble in water, alcohol, ether, and chloroform. Combustible.
Chemical properties
Tetrahydrofurfuryl acetate has a faint, fruity, ethereal odor, somewhat similar to acetic acid (reminiscent of methyl formate). It has a sweet, ethereal, deep, fruit-like flavor.
The Uses of TETRAHYDROFURFURYL ACETATE
Tetrahydrofurfuryl Acetate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a stable, colorless liquid of slightly fruity odor. it should be stored in glass or tin containers. it is used in fruit flavors for application in candy and baked goods at 2–20 ppm.
Preparation
By acetylation of the corresponding alcohol with acetic anhydride, acetyl chloride, or acetic acid and mineral acids.
Definition
ChEBI: Tetrahydrofurfuryl acetate is a member of oxolanes.
Taste threshold values
Taste characteristics at 100 ppm: sweet, brown, caramel-like with nutty, rummy nuances.
Acquired resistance
Mild, fruity, Acetone-ethereal odor of moderate to poor tenacity. Sweet, ethereal and deep-fruity taste at below 40 ppm.
General Description
The radical-chain racemisation of (R)-tetrahydrofurfuryl acetate has been studied.
Synthesis
Tetrahydrofurfuryl Acetate is synthesized by azeotropic esterification of Tetra-hydrofurfuryl alcohol with Acetic acid.
Solubility in organics
Miscible with alcohol and oils.
