Sign in to saveAlso known as 1-(3-hydroxyfuran-2-yl)ethan-1-one
Isomaltol is a natural furan obtained by the enzymatic degradation of starch. It is also a flavor component in bread crust, produced by thermal degradation (caramelization) of sugars. Isomaltol is obtained after the Maillard reaction from an amino acid and a reducing sugar
