Acetyl pyrazine

[Saltraker]

Can someone please enlighten me regarding the use of acetyl pyrazine (AP). I understand it's used to add a "nutty" or "bready" flavor to juices. Do you use AP only in bakery or tobacco juices? At what %? I am stuggling specifically to make a good bakery (muffin, cake, danish) flavor and am wondering if adding AP would help. I haven't a clue as to how much AP to use, however.

I add 1-2 DROPS to a 30ml of ry4. It's powerful stuff. Never used it anything but tobacco - to me it adds that (musty?) nutty flavor some tobaccos have.

I agree that one or two drops per 30ml is the most I'd use. Any more than that, and I get an overpowering Frito smell that steeping does not take away.

Fritos!! That's it!! Darned if I could put my finger on it.

I use it with strawberrys and cream to give a "crunch berry" effect. One could acheive the same flavor profile with hazlenut if you cant nail it with AP.

I put 1% AP in with 9% TFA RY4D. I put 2% AP in with 9% Hangsen Highway. Even @ 2%, I get no Frito's, just nuttiness. Gotta love this stuff. YMMV. This stuff is SO aromatic, if you open it inside, you can smell it for days, LOL. Danny should chime in regarding acetyl pyrazine. He is the expert.

I just can't stand the AP, it is not for me. Not even 1 drop in 10ml. If a recipe calls for it, I look elsewhere. It is just my opinion on it based on my taste.

AP, HAZELNUT and M-TYPE tobacco...if only these 3 flavors were available I would be vaping unflavored.

I hate using drops in recipes... especially when it's something as small as 1 or 2 drops. There's no way to fine tune it. Either you use 1, or 2, or none. When I have a really strong flavor I'll make a bottle of it mixed at 10% in PG. Then I can use that in my recipes in amounts that can be adjusted. Since AP is so strong, I probably mixed my bottle of it even lower than 10% (I don't remember offhand what strength I mixed it at).
