Furan and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are heterocyclic compounds that are formed in a variety of heat-treated commercial foods. In 1995, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified furan as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”. HMF was supposed to induce genotoxic and mutagenic effects in bacterial and human cells and promote colon cancer in rats. As this gave rise for concern, more...
The possibility of removing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural from roasted coffee by application of vacuum treatments was studied. In particular, different combinations of pressure and time were used. Results showed that the vacuum treatment was ineffective in removing HMF and furfural from anhydrous (commercial) coffee powder, while it proved effective if applied to previously hydrated samples...
