Chemical Information
FooDB Name2,3-Dimethylpyrazine
DescriptionDimethylpyrazine or 2,3-Dimethylpyrazine, also known as 2,3-DMP, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrazines. Pyrazines are compounds containing a pyrazine ring, which is a six-member aromatic heterocycle, that contains two nitrogen atoms, at positions 1 and 4, and four carbon atoms. Dimethylpyrazine is a moderately basic compound (based on its pKa). It is an almond, butter, and caramel tasting compound and it has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as soybeans, nuts, green vegetables, cereals and cereal products, and tortilla chips. Dimethylpyrazine is a component of the aroma of roasted sesame seeds. Alkylpyrazines are also formed during the cooking of some foods via the Maillard reaction.
