Alkylpyrazines are chemical compounds based on pyrazine with different substitution patterns. Some alkylpyrazines are naturally occurring highly aromatic substances which often have a very low odor threshold1 and contribute to the taste and aroma of various foods including coffee and wines.2 Alkylpyrazines are also formed during the cooking of some foods via Maillard reactions.
