Deng, Shibin;Cui, Heping;Hayat, Khizar;Zhai, Yun;Zhang, Qiang;Zhang, Xiaoming;Ho, Chi-Tang research published 《 Comparison of pyrazines formation in methionine/glucose and corresponding Amadori rearrangement product model》, the research content is summarized as follows. The generation of pyrazines in a binary methionine/glucose (Met/Glc) mixture and corresponding methionine/glucose-derived Amadori rearrangement product (MG-ARP) was studied. Quant. analyses of pyrazines and methional revealed that MG-ARP generated more methional compared to Met/Glc, whereas lower content and fewer species of pyrazines were observed in the MG-ARP model. Comparing the availability of α-dicarbonyl compounds generated from the Met/Glc model, methylglyoxal (MGO) was a considerably effective α-dicarbonyl compound for the formation of pyrazines during MG-ARP degradation, but glyoxal (GO) produced from MG-ARP did not effectively participate in the corresponding formation of pyrazines due to the asynchrony on the formation of GO and recovered Met. Diacetyl (DA) content was not high enough to form corresponding pyrazines in the MG-ARP model. The insufficient interaction of precursors and rapid drops in pH limited the formation of pyrazines during MG-ARP degradation Increasing reaction temperature could reduce the neg. inhibitory effect by promoting the content of precursors.
Recommanded Product: Acetylpyrazine, 2-Acetylpyrazine has been identified as one of the volatile flavor constituents in popcorn, wheat and rye bread crust.
2-Acetylpyrazine, also known as 1-pyrazinylethanone or fema 3126, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aryl alkyl ketones. These are ketones have the generic structure RC(=O)R’, where R = aryl group and R’=alkyl group. 2-Acetylpyrazine exists as a solid, soluble (in water), and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Within the cell, 2-acetylpyrazine is primarily located in the cytoplasm. 2-Acetylpyrazine has a bitter, bread crust, and chip taste.
2-acetylpyrazine is a pyrazine that is substituted by an acetyl group at position 2. It has been identified as one of the volatile flavor constituents in popcorn, bread crust, vinegar, and potato snacks. It has a role as a flavouring agent. It is an aromatic ketone and a member of pyrazines.
2-Acetylpyrazine is a nitrogen containing compound that has been used in biological studies. 2-Acetylpyrazine has been shown to have inhibitory properties against the growth of prostate cancer cells and other cell lines. It also inhibits the production of fatty acids and epidermal growth factor, which are important for cellular proliferation. The inhibition is due to the photochemical properties of 2-acetylpyrazine, which cause the formation of reactive species that react with biological molecules. The reactive species may be generated by either a reaction mechanism or a reaction pathway that involve coordination geometry. 2-acetylpyrazine has also been used as a fluorescence probe for fatty acid detection in lipid bilayers and liposomes., 22047-25-2.
