My review on Acytal Pyrazine

[Str8V8ping]

This stuff is a MUST HAVE ! Seriously . I just tried it on capellas gram cracker and it made it amazing . It tastes like a sweet sugary gram cracker now .Think of a letting a sweet gram cracker melt in your mouth like when you dip it in milk and it gets soggy but has so much more flavor and sweetness . Its crazy good and adds unbelievable depth and body too with extra breadyiness . I will never use gram cracker flavoring without it for now on . I tried it on TPA gram cracker as well . The TPA gram cracker by itself is ok but pretty weak and has no sweetness .Well it made it taste awesome like the capellas gram cracker . I then used a drop in some popcorn juices and again the popcorn just blew up with taste and the butter came out even more too .

THIS IS GOOD STUFF . Im thinking it will work great on a bunch of flavors like FA cookie etc .

I also tried two drops in capellas gram cracker at 15% and it tastes like cinnamon and brown sugar oatmeal with extra sugar . NICE! Two drops(double TPA recommendation) is a little strong though .

I diluted it down 4 drops AP to 6ml PG btw

I did something weird too . I did 5% Cap strawberries and cream ,5% gram cracker and 2 drops of AP and it made a awesome fried apple/cinnamon oatmeal taste . So random but its really good . lol

I may just use a drop of this stuff in everything i mix lol

Never heard of that stuff!

Thats a flavoring additive--- what are you using it for exactly?

 

[Shilo]

The pyrazine hydrocarbons are an important group of compounds which have been found to have exceptional utility as flavor agents.

Anyways don't know if its true or not that is listed as one of the numerous chemicals in a cigarette for flavoring---don't know if thats true or not. STR8 is a little scientist over there!

I'll have to pick some up - sounds good.
Have you tried the trimethyl pyrazine? I do have that one, but have only tried it in one recipe. I think I was too cautious with it. I'm not sure I could even tell if it was doing anything.

Thank you for this review! I have a bottle of AP and had no clue what to do with it. Sounds yummy!

I havent tried any of the other molecules from TPA but now that this one is so good i may try others too .

Heres a link to where you can get acetyl Pyrazine . A 4ml bottle will last a 10 lifetimes .
Perfumers Apprentice - Nutty Notes

Heres the specs from Tpa's site

Acetyl Pyrazine 5% (PG)

taste description:
at 10.00 ppm. Roasted, nutty, bready and yeasty, with popcorn and corn chip nuances
good for graham gracker flavors (enhancer)
Mosciano, Gerard P&F 17, No. 1, 41, (1992)

CAS # 22047-25-2
FEMA # 3126

can use up to 10.0000 ppm in the flavor. (refers to the undiluted material)

It definitly not one of those things that are barely noticeable . I have a problem getting lots of flavor sometimes and this really does the trick .

 

[Shilo]

OK, I see. I got confuzzled because you spelled it differently in the title wasn't sure what you were talking about.

 

[Str8V8ping]

oops sorry spellings not my strong point lol .

 

[dotma]

so it says that its a roasted, nutty flavor but you describe it more as a sweet flavor?

 

[Str8V8ping]

Its hard to explain . It is roasty and not exactly nutty but more like gram crackerish/nutty undertone which is kinda sweet . WHen you add it to a sweet flavor it enhances the sweetness a lot though .

 

[Shilo]

Well it all sounds very interesting. I'll have to keep that one in mind. I am doing very simple mixes right now just to get better ideas about what I like and what I don't.
