5-Methylfurfural is formed during the photoexposition of ranitidine hydrochloride. It is employed as potential age marker for Madeira wine. It is a volatile compound present in Lavandula stoechas, Lavandula angustifolia and Lavandula angustifolia x latifolia unifloral honeys.
| [Metabolic pathway]
The biotransformation of 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde is the
conversion to 5-methylfuroylgycine and 5-methyl-2-
furylmethylketone by rats. | [storage]
