essence and spice | soy sauce ketone, also known as cyclofuranone, belongs to hydroxyfuranone flavor products. it has strong natural sweetness and fruit flavor, as well as slight caramel flavor and baked food flavor. The aroma intensity is 3-9 times that of furanone, which is an important raw material and a good flavoring agent for blending essence. Hydroxyfuranone spices are the most valuable, most versatile, and largest high-end spices, and have the reputation of the king of spices. The two most representative compounds are: 1)2, 5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-furan-3-one, which is mainly found in the fragrance of pineapple in nature, commonly known as pineapple ketone, The commercial name is furanzil (furanol); sweet caramel aroma, with fruity taste. 2) 2-methyl-5-ethyl-4-hydroxy-furan-3-one or 2-ethyl-5-methyl-4-hydroxy-furan-3-one, mainly exists in nature In soy sauce, it is called soy sauce ketone; high-strength sweet caramel fragrance has the characteristics of soy sauce. the above two varieties are mainly produced by Swiss Firmenich Co. in the world. Although Dalian has been put into production in China, its yield is far lower than that of foreign patents (pineapple ketone 46%, soy sauce ketone 32%), so its raw material cost is high and its fragrance has not passed the test, which is difficult to match Swiss products. |

Hydroxyfuranone spices are the most valuable, most versatile, and largest high-end spices, and have the reputation of the king of spices. The two most representative compounds are:
1)2,5-dimethyl -4-hydroxy-furan -3-one, which mainly exists in the fragrance of pineapple in nature, commonly known as pineapple ketone, and the commercial name is furanzil (furanol); Sweet caramel fragrance, fruity taste.
2) 2-methyl-5-ethyl-4-hydroxy-furan-3-one or 2-ethyl-5-methyl-4-hydroxy-furan-3-one, which mainly exists in soy sauce in nature, So it is called soy sauce ketone; high-strength sweet caramel fragrance, with sauce-flavored characteristics.
The above two varieties are currently mainly produced by Swiss Firmenich Co. in the world. Although Dalian has been put into production in China, its yield is far lower than that of foreign patents (pineapple ketone 46%, soy sauce ketone 32%), so its raw material cost is high and its fragrance has not passed the test, which is difficult to match Swiss products.
