General description

2-Pentylfuran is a volatile heterocyclic compound mainly associated with the flavor of reverted soybean oil. It is reported to be formed by the auto-oxidation of linolenic acid.

Application


  • Comprehensive Investigation on the Dynamic Changes of Volatile Metabolites in Fresh Scent Green Tea During Processing by GC-E-Nose, GC-MS, and GC × GC-TOFMS.: This study employs advanced analytical techniques to investigate the dynamic changes in volatile metabolites, including 2-Pentylfuran, during the processing of fresh scent green tea. The findings enhance our understanding of flavor formation and its applications in optimizing tea processing techniques (Wang et al., 2024).

  • Volatolomics to Decrypt the Monophagous Nature of a Rice Pest, Scirpophaga Incertulas (Walker).: This study utilizes volatolomics to understand the monophagous nature of the rice pest Scirpophaga incertulas, identifying 2-Pentylfuran as a significant volatile compound involved in pest-plant interactions. The findings have potential applications in developing targeted pest management strategies (Adak et al., 2024).
