High-purity reference materials for Pentylfuran to support accurate identification, quantification, and quality control in food, flavor, and environmental analysis.
Overview
Pentylfuran typically refers to 2-pentylfuran, an alkyl-substituted furan occurring naturally in foods and formed via lipid oxidation. It is a volatile organic compound (VOC) relevant in flavor chemistry, product authenticity testing, and environmental monitoring. Laboratories require traceable reference materials for robust residue and aroma profiling.
Key attributes include volatility, hydrophobicity, and reactivity typical of furans. These features guide analytical method selection (e.g., headspace-based sampling and GC–MS).
Chemical Identity
Common name: 2-Pentylfuran (often referred to as Pentylfuran)
Molecular formula: C9H14O
Molar mass: ~138.21 g/mol
Structural class: Alkylfuran (furan ring with a pentyl substituent)
Physical–Chemical Properties
Appearance: Colorless to pale-yellow liquid; characteristic odor
Volatility: High; suitable for headspace analysis
Boiling range: ~170 °C (literature reports vary with purity and pressure)
Solubility: Low in water; miscible with many organic solvents (e.g., hexane, dichloromethane)
Stability: Sensitive to oxidation and light; store under inert atmosphere in tightly closed containers at low temperature.
Occurrence and Formation
Occurs naturally in various foods and beverages (e.g., coffee, roasted and heated foods, plant-derived matrices). Frequently formed through thermal processing and lipid oxidation pathways (notably from linoleic acid degradation).
Detected in flavor and aroma profiles; may serve as a marker for processing conditions, storage stability, and product authenticity.
Uses
Flavor and fragrance applications as a green, beany, roasted, or nutty note contributor (usage contingent on applicable regulations).
Analytical spike/marker in food aroma characterization, sensory correlation studies, and method validation.
VOC target in environmental emissions testing and indoor air investigations, depending on the analytical scope.
Regulatory Status
Regulatory treatment can differ by region and intended use (e.g., food flavoring versus industrial chemical). Flavoring substances in the EU are regulated under Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008; in the U.S., evaluation may involve FEMA GRAS and FDA frameworks. Laboratories should verify current listings, specifications, and any applicable purity or use restrictions in their jurisdiction.
Note: Risk assessments and guidance values for furans primarily focus on furan and certain methylfurans; substance-specific guidance for 2-pentylfuran may be limited. Always consult the latest regulatory sources.
Monitoring and Analytical Methods
Preferred techniques: HS-SPME/GC–MS, static headspace GC–MS, TD-GC–MS for air/VOC sampling, and solvent extraction followed by GC–MS when applicable.
Typical ionization: EI; identification via retention index and target/qualifier ions. Use matrix-matched calibration and, where possible, stable isotope-labelled internal standards for improved accuracy.
Method performance: Validate linearity, precision, accuracy, LOD/LOQ, recovery, and matrix effects per ISO/IEC 17025 and relevant guidance documents.
Sample Preparation
Food and beverages: HS-SPME with fiber selection optimized for mid-volatility, non-polar analytes; control salt addition, extraction temperature/time, and agitation.
Environmental/air: Thermal desorption tubes with appropriate sorbents; define sampling volumes and breakthrough studies.
Extracts: Use non-polar solvents; minimize evaporation losses and oxidative degradation (add antioxidants or employ inert conditions when justified).
Calibration, QA/QC, and Traceability
Employ certified reference materials to establish traceable calibration curves. Use internal standards (preferably stable isotope-labelled analogs) to correct for variability in extraction and injection.
Implement routine QC: system suitability, continuing calibration verification, blanks, spikes, duplicates, and matrix controls. Document uncertainty budgets in accordance with ISO guidelines.
Health Impact
Human toxicity: Data for 2-pentylfuran are limited compared to furan and methylfurans. Furans can form reactive metabolites; handle with caution. Avoid inhalation and skin contact. Follow workplace exposure controls and consult safety data sheets (SDS).
Ingestion and inhalation at high concentrations may cause irritation and CNS or respiratory effects. Always adhere to conservative exposure controls due to limited substance-specific toxicological data.
Occupational Exposure
Use in well-ventilated areas or fume hoods. Implement closed handling where feasible for concentrated solutions. Monitor ambient air when handling bulk quantities.
PPE: Lab coat, nitrile gloves, splash goggles; consider respirator if engineering controls are insufficient.
Environmental Impact
As a VOC, pentylfuran may contribute to photochemical ozone formation in the atmosphere. In aquatic systems, low water solubility suggests partitioning to organic phases.
Minimize releases; collect solvent waste for proper disposal according to local regulations.
Safety Measures and Storage
Classification may include flammable liquid and irritant; verify GHS/CLP classification on the product SDS. Keep away from ignition sources and oxidants.
Storage: Tightly closed amber vials, cool conditions, inert gas overlay recommended. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw and prolonged exposure to air or light.
Applications for Laboratories
Food and flavor labs: Aroma profiling, authenticity verification, storage and process impact studies.
Environmental labs: VOC screening in air and materials; emissions characterization.
Quality labs: Method development, calibration, and performance verification using traceable reference materials.
Related Compounds
Furan, 2-methylfuran, 3-methylfuran, 2-ethylfuran, and longer-chain alkylfurans. Consider co-elution risks and isomeric interferences; use orthogonal identifiers (retention index, qualifier ions).
