  1. furfuraldehyde

    Furfuraldehyde, also known as Furfural, is an organic compound produced from a variety of agricultural byproducts, including corncobs, rice hulls, and sawdust. It is a colorless liquid, but when exposed to air, it changes into a reddish-brown color. Furfural has an almond-like odor and finds its extensive use as a solvent in refining lubricating oils, as a fungicide and weed killer, and in the production of tetrahydrofuran, an important industrial solvent. The term furfural comes from the Latin word furfur, which means bran.
