Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethylpyrazine
DescriptionMethylpyrazine 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. Methylpyrazine is a chocolate, cocoa, and green tasting compound. Methylpyrazine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within kohlrabis (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes). Methylpyrazine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as black tea, cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao), pulses, tortilla, and taco. This could make methylpyrazine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Methylpyrazine.
