General description

2-Ethyl-3-methylpyrazine has been identified as a volatile flavor component in roasted cocoa beans, potato chips, roasted sesame seed and roasted parsley. This odor-active pyrazine compound is typically found in roasted foods due to Maillard reaction and pyrolysis of serine and threonine.

Application


  • RIFM fragrance ingredient safety assessment, 2-ethyl-3-methylpyrazine, CAS Registry Number 15707-23-0.: A comprehensive safety assessment of 2-ethyl-3-methylpyrazine as a fragrance ingredient, highlighting its chemical properties, usage levels, and toxicological profile (Api et al., 2024).

  • Fingerprint Analysis of Volatile Flavor Compounds in Crassostrea gigas of Different Ploidy and Gender under High-Temperature Incubation.: This study identifies and quantifies the volatile compounds in oysters, providing insights into how environmental and biological factors affect flavor profiles, with a specific mention of 2-ethyl-3-methylpyrazine (Sun et al., 2023).

  • Influence of Roasting Condition on Flavor Profile of Sunflower Seeds: A flavoromics approach.: Analyzes the impact of roasting conditions on the flavor profile of sunflower seeds, including the formation of 2-ethyl-3-methylpyrazine, which contributes to the roasted aroma (Guo et al., 2019).
