Chemical Information
FooDB Name2,6-Dimethylpyrazine
Description2,6-Dimethylpyrazine, also known as fema 3273 or 2,5-DMP, 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. 2,6-Dimethylpyrazine is a cocoa, roastbeef, and roastednut tasting compound. 2,6-Dimethylpyrazine has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as black tea, green tea, herbal tea, red tea, and teas (Camellia sinensis). This could make 2,6-dimethylpyrazine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 2,6-Dimethylpyrazine.
