Description

Furaneol β-D-Glucopyranoside Tetraacetate is a high-purity, protected glycoside derivative of the key flavor compound Furaneol. This compound is valued for its role as a stable, non-volatile precursor in flavor and fragrance applications, where controlled release of the active aroma is required. It is primarily utilized by research and development laboratories, flavor houses, and manufacturers in the food, beverage, and perfumery industries seeking advanced delivery systems and novel flavoring agents.

Application

• Flavor Precursor & Modifier: Used in the development of advanced flavor systems for beverages, dairy products, and confectionery, where it acts as a non-volatile precursor to Furaneol (strawberry, caramel flavor).
• Fragrance Fixative & Carrier: Serves as a carrier molecule in fine perfumery and functional fragrances to modulate the release profile and enhance the longevity of aroma compounds.
• Food Chemistry Research: An important reference standard and synthetic intermediate in academic and industrial research focused on glycosidically-bound volatiles and flavor release mechanisms.
• Processed Food Enhancement: Incorporated into thermally processed foods where its stability under heat can provide a consistent flavor profile upon hydrolysis during cooking or storage.
• Natural Flavor Synthesis: Employed as a key building block in the semi-synthesis of natural-identical flavor compounds.

Quality Control

Our Furaneol β-D-Glucopyranoside Tetraacetate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation.
