Description

Acetylpyrazine CAS NO 22047-25-2 is a high-purity heterocyclic compound, specifically a pyrazine derivative, valued for its distinctive nutty, roasted, and popcorn-like aroma. This organoleptic property makes it a critical component in the creation of complex flavor and fragrance profiles. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the food, flavor, and fragrance industries for its ability to impart authentic roasted notes. Our product is supplied to meet the stringent quality and consistency requirements of global B2B customers.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Industry: A key aroma chemical used as a flavor enhancer and fragrance ingredient to create or augment nutty, roasted, popcorn, and cereal notes in food products, beverages, and perfumes.
• Food & Beverage Manufacturing: Used in the formulation of savory flavors for snacks, baked goods, coffee, chocolate, and meat analogs to achieve authentic roasted and nutty characteristics.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a versatile building block (synthon) in the synthesis of more complex pharmaceutical compounds and active ingredients.
• Agrochemical Research: Utilized as a precursor or intermediate in the development of novel agrochemicals and pesticides.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: Employed in academic and industrial R&D laboratories as a reagent for heterocyclic chemistry and the synthesis of specialty chemicals.
