Description

Pyrazine, 2-Ethyl-6-(1-Methylethyl)- (9Ci) is a specialized heterocyclic aromatic compound valued for its unique organoleptic and chemical properties. This compound is significant for its role as a key flavor and fragrance intermediate, contributing roasted, nutty, and earthy notes to complex formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance, food ingredient, and advanced chemical synthesis industries seeking high-purity aroma chemicals.

Application

• As a key flavor ingredient in savory food products, snacks, and processed meats to impart roasted, nutty, or coffee-like notes.
• As a fragrance component in perfumery for creating sophisticated, earthy, and tobacco accords in fine fragrances and personal care products.
• As a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of more complex heterocyclic compounds for pharmaceutical or agrochemical research.
• In the production of aroma chemicals and reaction flavors (e.g., Maillard reaction products) for the food and beverage industry.
• For use in tobacco flavoring to enhance and modify the sensory profile of tobacco products.

Quality Control

Our Pyrazine, 2-Ethyl-6-(1-Methylethyl)- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and GC-MS, to ensure identity, purity, and organoleptic profile meet stringent specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, specific gravity, refractive index, and organoleptic assessment are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity.
