Epoxy compounds usually have stronger nucleophilic ability, because the alkyl group on the oxygen atom makes the bond angle smaller, which makes the lone pair of electrons react more dissimilarly with the electron-deficient system. Compound: 2-Ethylpyrazine, is researched, Molecular C6H8N2, CAS is 13925-00-3, about Improving the Flavor and Oxidation Resistance of Processed Sunflower Seeds with Maillard Peptides.Name: 2-Ethylpyrazine.
In order to give the boiled sunflower seeds the rich taste, caramel aroma, and improved oxidation resistance, Maillard peptides were added to sunflower seeds in this research. Sunflower seeds sample 5 (SFS5) and sunflower seeds sample 2 (SFS2) were prepared by adding Maillard peptides of sunflower seeds (K), gluten (G), and corn (Y), at different ratio (SFS2, K:G = 8:2; SFS5, K:G:Y = 8:1:1). Component anal. showed that SFS5 and SFS2 were significantly higher in umami amino acids than the control (SFS0) without Maillard peptides. SFS5 and SFS2 contained more hybrid compounds such as pyrazines and furans which contributed to the caramel aroma of sunflower seeds. Electronic tongue anal. revealed the higher response values of umami, salty, and continuity taste for SFS5 and SFS2 than those of SFS0. Sensory evaluation results showed that the sunflower flavor, caramel aroma, umami characteristic, and overall acceptability of SFS5 and SFS2 were higher than that of SFS0. The chem. results showed that under accelerated oxidation, the SFS5 and SFS2 had significantly lower peroxide value and acid value than SFS0.
As far as I know, this compound(13925-00-3)Name: 2-Ethylpyrazine can be applied in many ways, which is helpful for the development of experiments. Therefore many people are doing relevant researches.
