Which of the following is not a caramel flavour producing compound?

  • A.3-Hydroxy-2-methylpyran-4-one
  • B.2H-4-Hydroxy-5-methylfuran-3-one
  • C.3-Hydroxy-2-acetylfuran
  • D.p-Amino benzoicacid

Answer: D

The compound that does not produce caramel flavour is p-Amino benzoicacid.

The other three are sugar-degradation products with the caramel-like odour: 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyran-4-one is maltol, 2H-4-hydroxy-5-methylfuran-3-one is a hydroxyfuranone of the furaneol type, and 3-hydroxy-2-acetylfuran is isomaltol. All three share the enolized cyclic diketone structure that gives the burnt-sugar note.

p-Aminobenzoic acid is an aromatic amino acid derivative, a B-vitamin-related compound, and is not a caramelization product.
