Profile: AVA Biochem BSL AG produces 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from renewable biomass. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is an organic compound derived from dehydration of certain sugars (hexoses). This yellow, low-melting solid is highly water-soluble. The molecule consists of a furan ring, containing both aldehyde and alcohol functional groups. HMF as natural substance has been identified in a wide variety of heat-processed foods including milk, fruit juices, spirits, and honey. HMF, which is derived from cellulose, is a potential carbon-neutral feedstock for a number of chemical substances. 5-HMF is intensively used in research & development to develop innovative materials.
