Reference material for food analysis

Furosine dihydrochloride, an early Maillard reaction marker, is linked to diseases like diabetes.

Furosine hydrochloride is a white crystalline chemical with a molecular formula of C6H7N3O4S. It is soluble in water and has a melting point of about 140 degrees Celsius. Furosine hydrochloride is a useful building block for the synthesis of polymers, pharmaceuticals, organic semiconductors and other organic compounds. Furosine hydrochloride is used as an intermediate to produce fine chemicals such as polyurethanes, polyamides and amino acids. It can also be used as a reaction component in the synthesis of complex compounds such as 2-amino-5-nitrothiophene or 2,2'-dithiobis(benzothiazole). Furosine hydrochloride can be used as a scaffold for the production of various drugs such as antihypertensives or antidepressants.
