Metabolite Identification
Common Name2,5-Dimethylpyrazine
Description2,5-Dimethylpyrazine, also known as fema 3272 or pyrazine,2,5-dimethyl, 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. 2,5-Dimethylpyrazine is a cocoa, grass, and medicinal tasting compound. 2,5-Dimethylpyrazine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within kohlrabis. 2,5-Dimethylpyrazine has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as green vegetables, soy beans, asparagus, tortilla chips, and fenugreeks. This could make 2,5-dimethylpyrazine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. It occurs naturally in baked potato, black or green tea, crispbread, French fries, malt, peated malt, raw asparagus, roasted barley, roasted filberts or pecans, squid, wheat bread, wild rice (Zizania aquatica), and wort. Alkylpyrazines are chemical compounds based on pyrazine with different substitution patterns. Some 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.
