In support of this concept, the chemically synthesized sulfuric acid ester,5-[(sulfooxy)-methyl] furfural (SMF), exhibited direct mutagenicity at both thymidine kinase and hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase loci in human lymphoblasts.

5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furfural (HMF), a common product of the Maillard reaction, occurs in many foods in high concentrations, sometimes exceeding 1 g/kg (in certain dried fruits and caramel products).
To elucidate the toxic potential of HMF, cytotoxicity (trypan blue exclusion), growth inhibition (SRB assay), mutagenicity (HPRT assay), DNA damage (single-cell gel electrophoresis) and depletion of cellular glutathione were investigated in mammalian cells.
