We have measured the toxicity and genotoxicity of 2-methylfuran, which is formed in foods during thermal processing. The agent was administered by oral gavage to male Sprague-Dawley rats, daily for 28 days, before performing general toxicology analysis and the following

An ultrasound-assisted three-component, one-pot domino reaction with ferrocenecarboxaldehyde is herein reported. The sequence of reactions entails the allylindation and dehydrative alkylation of stabilized C-nucleophiles (e.g. electron-rich-(hetero)aromatics and stabilized enols) and N-nucleophiles (e.g. azoles). Sonochemical reactions have been performed in three

In this study, the levels of furan, 2-methylfuran, 2,5-dimethylfuran, vinyl furan, 2-methoxymethyl-furan and furfural in different coffee products were evaluated. Simultaneous determination of these six furanic compounds was performed by a head space liquid-phase micro-extraction (HS-LPME) method. A total of

Furfuryl alcohol is a rodent carcinogen present in numerous foodstuffs. Sulfotransferases (SULTs) convert furfuryl alcohol into the DNA reactive and mutagenic 2-sulfoxymethylfuran. Sensitive techniques for the isotope-dilution ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry quantification of resulting DNA adducts, e.g. N
