2-methyltetrahydrofuran-3-thiol

2-Methyltetrahydrofuran-3-thiol (CAS 57124-87-5 ), also known by its FEMA 3787 designation, is a sulfur-containing heterocyclic compound used as a flavoring agent in food and fragrance applications.

It delivers a roasted, meaty, coffee-like character at very low use levels, making it a high-impact aroma chemical for flavor houses and formulators. In food flavoring, it is used to build or reinforce roasted meat profiles.

This compound is essential for coffee and savory profiles in processed foods, seasonings, and ready-meal formulations. Fragrance developers incorporate it into compositions targeting smoky or gourmand olfactive directions where sulfur-forward nuances are required.

Its potency at trace concentrations suits beverage flavoring, particularly in coffee and cocoa-based products where authentic roast character is a formulation target. It ensures a deep, complex sensory experience in various applications.

In pharmaceutical and cosmetic contexts, it may serve as a trace odorant or masking component in formulations where controlled sulfurous notes are technically specified. This versatility makes it a valuable tool for specialized chemical manufacturing.

2-Methyltetrahydrofuran-3-thiol is supplied as a liquid, typically in small to medium pack sizes reflecting its high-impact nature and low use rates. It is available in food-grade quality meeting FEMA-recognized status.

The product is manufactured to meet high purity specifications, generally at 98% or higher for flavor industry supply. It adheres to rigorous safety and quality protocols to ensure consistency across all commercial batches.
