Description

2-Methyl-6-Methoxy-5-Isopropyl Pyrazine is a high-value pyrazine derivative prized for its potent and complex organoleptic properties. This compound matters for its ability to impart sophisticated roasted, nutty, and earthy flavor notes, making it a critical component in advanced flavor and fragrance creation. It is primarily needed by flavorists and perfumers in the food & beverage, fine fragrance, and personal care industries seeking to develop premium, authentic sensory profiles.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Formulation: A key building block for creating complex roasted, nutty, coffee, and cocoa-like flavor nuances in premium food products, beverages, and savory applications.
• Gourmet Food Enhancement: Used in the development of flavors for chocolate, coffee, nuts, roasted meats, and savory snacks to enhance depth and authenticity.
• Fine Fragrance Creation: Employed as a specialty aroma chemical to add earthy, woody, and tobacco-like accords in high-end perfumery.
• Functional Fragrances: Incorporated into air care products, detergents, and household cleaners to provide warm, comforting background notes.
• Tobacco Flavoring: Used to modify and enrich the flavor profile of tobacco products.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and intermediate in organic synthesis for pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.

Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-6-Methoxy-5-Isopropyl Pyrazine is produced and tested to meet the stringent requirements of the flavor and fragrance industry. Quality is assured through rigorous analytical controls including Gas Chromatography (GC) and GC-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to ensure identity, purity, and organoleptic consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, specific gravity, refractive index, and organoleptic assessment is provided with each batch to support your quality management systems.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
