Chemistry:Furaneol
Furaneol, or strawberry furanone, is an organic compound used in the flavor, perfume and cosmetics industry[1]. It is formally a derivative of furan. It is a white or colorless solid that is soluble in water and organic solvents.[2]
Odor and occurrence
Although possessed of a caramel-like odor at high concentrations, it exhibits a sweet strawberry aroma when dilute.[2] It is found in strawberries[3] and a variety of other fruits and it is partly responsible for the smell of fresh pineapple.[4] It is also an important component of the odours of buckwheat,[5] and tomato.[6] Furaneol accumulation during ripening has been observed in strawberries and can reach a high concentration of 37 μg/g.[7]
Furaneol acetate
The acetate ester of furaneol, also known as caramel acetate and strawberry acetate, is also popular with flavorists to achieve a fatty toffee taste and it is used in traces in perfumery to add a sweet gourmand note.[8]
Stereoisomerism
Furaneol has two enantiomers, (R)-(+)-furaneol and (S)-(−)-furaneol. The (R)-form is mainly responsible for the smell.[9]

Biosynthesis
It is one of several products from the dehydration of glucose. Its immediate biosynthetic precursor is the glucoside, derived from dehydration of sucrose.[2]
