Chemical Information
FooDB NameMethoxypyrazine
DescriptionMethoxypyrazines are a class of chemical compounds that produce odors. The odors may be desirable, as in the case of certain wines, or undesirable, as in the case of the Asian Lady Beetle which produces isopropyl methoxy pyrazine (IPMP). They have also been identified as additives in cigarette manufacture. Detection thresholds are very low, typically near 2 parts per trillion (1 ng/L). Methoxypyrazine is found in cocoa and cocoa products and animal foods.
