A 90-day gavage study was conducted with 0.0, 0.02, 0.075, 0.25, 1.0 and 4.0 mg/kg bw/day dose groups of 3-methylfuran to identify a no-observed adverse effect level for hepatotoxicity and to characterize non-neoplastic effects including changes in gross anatomy, histopathology, clinical biochemistry

Fresh onions (Allium cepa L.) emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) naturally in very low concentrations. The aim of the present study was to determine the emission rate of low-boiling VOCs from healthy and naturally infected onion bulbs at 4, 15

Coffee has been determined as the dominant source of furan within an adult's diet. This study investigates the influence of coffee condiment use and stirring on the retention of furan. Three condiment lipid compositions were investigated, 0%, 3.5% and 35%

This study examined the influence of consumer behavior on furan, 2-methylfuran, 3-methylfuran, 2,5-dimethylfuran and 2,3-dimethylfuran exposure in coffee. Coffees brewed using a filter, fully automatic, capsule machine or reconstituted instant coffee were found to have a significant different cup concentrations

To this day, research for furan mitigation has mostly targeted the levels of food production and handling of prepared foods by the consumer. However, part of the furan concentrations found in commercially available food products might originate from chemical deterioration

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
