Metabolite Identification

Common Name

Methyl 2-furoate

Description

Methyl 2-furoate, also known as fema 2703 or methyl pyromucate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as furoic acid esters. These are ester derivatives of furoic acid. Methyl 2-furoate is a sweet, fruity, and fungal tasting compound. Methyl 2-furoate has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as fruits, coffee and coffee products, nuts, green vegetables, and cocoa and cocoa products. This could make methyl 2-furoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
