What is Furanone?
Furanone is a heterocyclic compound containing a furan ring and a hydroxyl group, naturally found in pineapple, strawberry, mango, caramel, and fermented foods such as beer and soy sauce. It can also be prepared through chemical synthesis. Its molecular structure contains furan ring , hydroxyl group , and ketone group. Its unique structure gives it a rich and natural "burnt sweet fruit aroma", which is the core aroma component in the food and daily chemical fields that mimics natural fruit and caramel flavors. The aroma threshold is extremely low (about 0.04 μ g/kg), and a small amount of addition can significantly enhance the flavor level of the product.

Storage requirements:
It should be stored in a cool, dark, dry, and well ventilated sealed warehouse with a temperature controlled between 5-25 ℃
The relative humidity inside the warehouse must be strictly controlled at<45% to prevent products from absorbing moisture and sticking
Transport & Packaging:
During transportation, it is necessary to load and unload gently. When using forklifts or pallets for handling, avoid collisions and squeezing of packaging (especially cardboard drums and glass reagent bottles) to prevent packaging damage from causing dust leakage or moisture absorption; When manually handling small packages (100g glass bottles, 1kg aluminum-plastic bags), anti slip gloves and dust masks should be worn. Throwing or rolling is strictly prohibited to avoid product adhesion and dust inhalation.
