| | TETRAHYDROFURFURYL ACETATE Usage And Synthesis |
| 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. | | Uses | 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. | | Definition | ChEBI: Tetrahydrofurfuryl acetate is a member of oxolanes. | | Preparation | By acetylation of the corresponding alcohol with acetic anhydride, acetyl chloride, or acetic acid and mineral acids. | | 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.
