5-methylfurfural, also known as 5-methylfurfural, is an important fine chemical, which is widely used in medicine, pesticide, cosmetics and other industries. It is also an important component of general food flavors, and even considered as an important anti-cancer drug; In addition, it can also be used as an important intermediate of renewable fuels (high quality diesel, 2,5-dimethylfuran, etc.). In industry, 5-methylfurfural is mainly prepared by the reaction of 5-methylfuran with expensive and highly toxic phosphoryl chloride or phosgene.

Triheptanoin is a triglyceride that is composed of three seven-carbon fatty acids. These odd-carbon fatty acids are able to provide anaplerotic substrates for the TCA cycle. Triheptanoin is used clinically in humans to treat inherited metabolic diseases, such as pyruvate carboxylase deficiency and carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency. It also appears to increase the efficacy of the ketogenic diet as a treatment for epilepsy. Since triheptanoin is composed of odd-carbon fatty acids, it can produce ketone bodies with five carbon atoms, as opposed to even-carbon fatty acids which are metabolized to ketone bodies with four carbon atoms. The five-carbon ketones produced from triheptanoin are beta-ketopentanoate and beta-hydroxypentanoate. Each of these ketone bodies easily crosses the blood–brain barrier and enters the brain.

This product is mainly used as food spice.
