Chemical Information
FooDB Name2,6-Diemthyl-pyrazine
Description2,6-Dimethylpyrazine, also known as FEMA 3273 or 2,6-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 consists of two nitrogen atoms (at positions 1 and 4) and four carbon atoms. 2,6-Dimethylpyrazine is also classified as an alkylpyrazine. Alkylpyrazines are naturally occurring highly aromatic substances which often have a very low odor threshold and contribute to the taste and aroma of various foods including coffee and wines. Alkylpyrazines are also formed during the cooking of some foods via Maillard reactions (doi:10.1093/chemse/10.3.287). 2,6-Dimethylpyrazine exists as a white or pale yellow solid. It has a nutty, cocoa, roasted, meaty or coffee-like aroma with a musty, bready or meaty taste. 2,6-Dimethylpyrazine is found naturally in a number of foods and has been detected in black and green tea, whiskey, potato chips, kohlrabi, fenugreek seeds, roasted coffee, bread, beer, baked potato, crispbread, French fries, malt, peated malt, raw asparagus, and roasted barley. 2,6-Dimethylpyrazine is also used as flavor additive and odorant in foods such as cereals and products such as cigarettes.
