Furaneol, or strawberry furanone, is a natural organic compound used in the flavor and perfume industry because of its sweet strawberry aroma.^[2] It is actually found in strawberries^[3] and a variety of other fruits and it is partly responsible for the smell of fresh pineapple.^[4] It is also important for odour of buckwheat,^[5] and tomato.^[6]
