What is HMF used for?

HMF is classified as a food improvement agent and is primarily being used in the food industry in form of a food additive as a biomarker as well as a flavoring agent for food products. It is also produced industrially on a modest scale as a carbon-neutral feedstock for the production of fuels and other chemicals.

 

What is Hydroxymethylfurfural honey?

 

 

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (formally known as "HMF") is an organic compound which is formed from sugar in an acidic environment during heat treatment. This reaction naturally occurs in many food products that contain sugar and a low pH value.
 

Is 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural toxic?

 

 

The remaining toxic potential is rather low. Various animal experiments reveal that no adverse effect levels are in the range of 80-100 mg/kg body weight and day. Safety margins are generally sufficient. However, 5-HMF exposure resulting from caramel colours used as food additives should be further evaluated.
