Description

2-Furfurylthio-3-Methylpyrazine is a high-purity heterocyclic sulfur compound, recognized for its potent and distinctive roasted, nutty, and meaty flavor profile. This compound is a key flavor and fragrance ingredient, prized for its ability to impart savory, roasted notes at very low concentrations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance (F&F) and food ingredient industries for creating authentic savory flavor systems.

Application

• Savory Flavor Creation: A critical component in the formulation of meat, roasted nut, coffee, and chocolate flavorings.
• Process Flavor Enhancement: Used in reaction flavors (e.g., Maillard reaction systems) to boost roasted, grilled, and cooked meat characteristics.
• Food & Beverage Industry: Incorporated into seasonings, savory snacks, ready-to-eat meals, soups, sauces, and gravies to enhance umami and roasted notes.
• Fragrance Industry: Employed in niche perfumery to add unique roasted, coffee, or tobacco-like nuances to fragrance compositions.
• Pet Food Palatability: Used as a potent palatability enhancer in premium pet food and treat formulations.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and a key synthetic intermediate in organic chemistry and flavor science research.

Quality Control

Our 2-Furfurylthio-3-Methylpyrazine is produced and tested to meet the stringent requirements of the flavor and fragrance industry. We employ rigorous analytical protocols including GC, GC-MS, and HPLC to ensure high purity, consistent organoleptic quality, and batch-to-batch reliability. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

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). This material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
