2-Ethyl-5-methylpyrazine
an aroma chemical with a strong roasted, coffee-like odor characteristic of roasted nuts and coffee beans. It occurs naturally in coffee, roasted peanuts, cocoa and baked goods, and is a classic pyrazine flavoring ingredient used to reinforce roasted and nutty sensory notes. It is widely used to rebuild roasted coffee, hazelnut, peanut and cocoa flavor profiles, to boost cereal and bakery notes, and to improve savory snack and chocolate formulations at low dosage levels. The product is manufactured under strict quality control with batch-to-batch consistency verified by GC analysis, meeting food-grade specifications for safe and reliable commercial use. KieRay Chem is a reliable supplier of 2-Ethyl-5-methylpyrazine (CAS: 13360-64-0).
• Enhances roasted coffee, nutty and cereal aroma profiles in food and beverage flavor systems; typically used at ppm levels to avoid overpowering background notes. This ensures reproducible and dependable performance in commercial compounding and food manufacturing. It is also suitable for use in continuous production lines and small-batch custom formulations alike, delivering stable value across diverse application scenarios.
• Improves the roasted character of chocolate, cocoa, bakery and snack products by recreating the natural pyrazine fraction lost during processing. Combined with stable quality and reliable supply, it fits both routine production and new product development. It is also suitable for use in continuous production lines and small-batch custom formulations alike, delivering stable value across diverse application scenarios.
• Serves as a building block in savory and meat flavor formulations, providing a genuine roasted-nut rounded sensory impression. Its versatility extends value across beverages, bakery, confectionery, dairy, savory and household segments. It is also suitable for use in continuous production lines and small-batch custom formulations alike, delivering stable value across diverse application scenarios.
• Blends well with other pyrazines, thiazoles and furanones to achieve the complex roasted notes of coffee, cocoa and malt products. This makes it a practical choice for formulators seeking consistent sensory and functional results. It is also suitable for use in continuous production lines and small-batch custom formulations alike, delivering stable value across diverse application scenarios.
• Each batch is analyzed by GC to confirm assay and impurity profile, ensuring lot-to-lot consistency across commercial supply. This ensures reproducible and dependable performance in commercial compounding and food manufacturing. It is also suitable for use in continuous production lines and small-batch custom formulations alike, delivering stable value across diverse application scenarios.
