Recent investigations demonstrated that the reaction of odor-active thiols such as 2-furfurylthiol with thermally generated chlorogenic acid degradation products is responsible for the rapid aroma staling of coffee beverages. To get a clear understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying this

To gain a more comprehensive knowledge of the contribution of recently identified phenol/thiol conjugates to the storage-induced degradation of odorous thiols, the concentrations of the sulfury-roasty smelling key odorant 2-furfurylthiol and the concentrations of the putative thiol-receptive di- and trihydroxybenzenes

The purpose of the following study was to investigate the influence of coffee roasting on the thiol-binding activity of coffee beverages, and to investigate the potential of various green bean compounds as precursors of thiol-binding sites by using promising "in

The metabolism of two thiofurans, namely furfuryl mercaptan (FM) and 2-methyl-3-furanthiol (MTF), to their corresponding methyl sulphide and methyl sulphoxide derivatives has been studied in male Sprague-Dawley rat hepatocytes and liver microsomes. Rat hepatocytes converted FM to furfuryl methyl sulphoxide

The formation of several key odorants, such as 2-furfurylthiol (FFT), alkylpyrazines, and diketones, was studied upon coffee roasting. The approach involved the incorporation of potential precursors in green coffee beans by means of biomimetic in-bean and spiking experiments. Both labeled
