Benjamin List of the Max Planck Institute for Kohlenforschung and colleagues have now developed a light-driven catalytic ...

This research investigates the presence of furan fatty acids in the latex of 48 Hevea brasiliensis genotypes, revealing significant variability and potential health benefits. The findings suggest new ...

Shedding light on how the carcinogen furan forms in foods, scientists have opened up possible solutions to tackle this potential problem for the food industry. Furan, a colourless, volatile liquid ...

Furan fatty acids (FuFAs) are a distinctive group of minor yet biologically active lipids found across a broad spectrum of organisms, including plants, marine species and mammals. Characterised by the ...

The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) detects ‘no significant change or discernible trends’ across many food categories for process contaminants acrylamide and furan. The report looked at acrylamide and ...

Exposure to furan, a chemical present in agricultural products, stabilizers, pharmaceuticals, and heat-processed foods, shows a significant positive correlation with the prevalence and respiratory ...

"Preparing a coffee in a drip coffee maker is not the same as making one in an espresso machine or from capsules, because these give rise to differing levels of furan", Javier Santos, a professor at ...

Designed for food safety labs analyzing these emerging compounds of interest, Restek’s new multicomponent mix meets all compounds listed by AOAC SMPR 2019.004 and Commission Recommendation (EU) ...

The US food watchdog had made steps to find out more about the potential carcinogen furan after a new technology detected very low levels of furan in a wider range of foods larger than previously ...

Researchers in Singapore used a biomass-derived polymer to increase the efficiency of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite solar cell. The cell was also found to obtain a 90% efficiency retention after ...
