Exploring the Diverse World of Global Furfural Derivatives: Applications and Innovations
Furfural derivatives are organic compounds derived from furfural, a naturally occurring substance found in various plant materials such as corncobs, oat hulls, and sugarcane bagasse. Furfural itself is obtained through the dehydration of pentose sugars present in these biomass sources. Through chemical modification and transformation, furfural can be converted into a myriad of derivatives with unique properties and functionalities.
