Description

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is produced in the process of starch degradation by α-amylase. The HMF can be found in many plant sources, such as apples, pears, and carrots. It has a bitter taste and is used as a model system for organic chemistry reactions. The reaction products of HMF are mainly 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde, 2,5-dihydroxyfuranacrolein, 5-hydroxymethyl-2-(3H)-furanone, and 2,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde.
5-hydroxymethylfurfural is metabolized in the body to form 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfuraldehyde (HMFA). In a series of biochemical pathways, HMFA is oxidized to form 5-(hydroxymethyl) furfural (HMF), which can be
