HPLC-DAD was used to monitor the evolution of potential and free furfural compounds (5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde, HMF; 2-furaldehyde, F; 2-furyl methyl ketone, FMC; and 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde, MF) over the shelf life of two types of infant powder formula: one supplemented with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) in the form of microencapsulated fish oil (MFO), the other not supplemented with LC-PUFA. Following production, the formulae were stored at 25 and 37 °C. The initial furfural content in the supplemented formula was as follows: potential HMF (485.88 μg/100 g), potential F (167.13 μg/100 g), and free HMF (58.23 μg/100 g), while free F was not detected. In the unsupplemented formula, the following values were recorded: potential HMF (515.85 μg/100 g), potential F (170.29 μg/100 g), free HMF (84.92 μg/100 g), and free F (1.19 μg/100 g). In general, increased furfural content was observed during storage, an increase more pronounced in formula stored at 37 °C. Hardly any differences in furfural evolution during storage were observed between supplemented and unsupplemented infant formulae. The results suggest that the uses of MFO material for supplement formula not affected furfural formation. Neither FMC nor MF was formed in the formulae studied.
