Furfural is an organic compound with the formula C 4 H 3 OCHO. It is a colorless liquid, although commercial samples are often brown. It has an aldehyde group attached to the 2-position of …
furfural (C 4 H 3 O-CHO), best known member of the furan family and the source of the other technically important furans. It is a colourless liquid (boiling point 161.7 °C; specific gravity …
Furfural is an aldehyde that is furan with the hydrogen at position 2 substituted by a formyl group. It has a role as a Maillard reaction product and a metabolite. It is a member of furans and an …
Furfural is a natural dehydration product of xylose, a pentose sugar often found in large quantities in the hemicellulose fraction of lignocellulosic biomass. This heterocyclic and aromatic …
Furfural is a chemical product resulting from the hydrolysis of pentoses or other polysaccharides rich in pentoses classified into four main groups: xylans, mannans, xyloglucans, and β-glucans …
As it will be shown in other chapters of this book, furfural is a natural precursor to a range of furan-based chemicals and solvents such as methyltetrahydrofuran, tetrahydro-furan, …
Furfural is a promising renewable platform molecule derived from hemi-cellulose, which can be further converted to fossil fuel alternatives and valuable chemicals due to its highly …
