Furfuryl alcohol is an organic compound that is commonly used as a solvent, flavoring agent, and chemical intermediate in various industries. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint, almond-like odor. Furfuryl alcohol is derived from furfural, which is obtained from agricultural wastes such as corncobs and sugarcane bagasse. It is used in the production of resins, plastics, and adhesives, as well as in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals. However, exposure to high levels of furfuryl alcohol may be harmful and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
