  • What is HMF?

    5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a naturally occurring organic compound that is derived from carbohydrates, such as fructose and glucose, through a series of chemical reactions. It is a yellow crystalline solid that has been identified as a potential building block for the production of a variety of chemicals and materials, including biofuels, bioplastics, and pharmaceuticals.

    HMF has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential as a renewable and sustainable platform chemical. It can be produced from a range of biomass feedstocks, including agricultural residues and food waste, and has been shown to have a high yield and low cost of production. Additionally, HMF has been found to have a range of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties, which make it a promising candidate for the development of novel therapeutic agents.

    Overall, 5-HMF is a versatile and valuable compound that has the potential to contribute to the development of a more sustainable and environmentally friendly economy.

  • 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is one of the 12 key bio-based platform compounds promoted by the U.S. Department of Energy, and it is the only platform compound with an aromatic ring, known as the "Sleeping Giant".
