3-Methylfuran is a volatile organic compound (VOCs) used as a potential non-intrusive tool for screening of lung cancer. | [Definition]
ChEBI: 3-methylfuran is a member of the class of furans that is furan in which the hydrogen at position 3 is replaced by a methyl group. It is a chemical that is produced in foods during food processing and preservation techniques that involve heat treatment such as cooking and pasteurization. It has a role as an environmental contaminant, a fungal metabolite, a plant metabolite, an Aspergillus metabolite and a Penicillium metabolite. It is a member of furans and a volatile organic compound. |
