Organoleptic Properties

Odor Type: Popcorn
popcorn, nutty, corn chip, bread crust, chocolate, hazelnut, coffee, musty, roasted, potato
Odor strength very high , recommend smelling in a 0.10 % solution or less
Substantivity 400 hour(s) at 10.00 % in dipropylene glycol
Luebke, William tgsc, (1996) At 0.10 % in propylene glycol. popcorn nutty corn chip bread crust chocolate hazelnut coffee
Mosciano, Gerard P&F 17, No. 1, 41, (1992) Musty, roasted, corn chip, popcorn, nutty and potato-like
Flavor Type: Roasted
roasted, nutty, bready, yeasty, popcorn, corn chip
Mosciano, Gerard P&F 17, No. 1, 41, (1992) At 10.00 ppm. Roasted, nutty, bready and yeasty, with popcorn and corn chip nuances
Used not only for popcorn type flavours, but also in roast nut flavours (hazelnut, peanut, almond), chocolate, bread and yeast type flavors. 2-Acetylpyrazine and 2-acetylthiazole both have aromas similar to the non-GRAS material 2-acetylpyrroline which is an important character impact compound in aromatic rice, bread crust and popcorn. Normal use levels in finished consumer product: 0.05-5 ppm. Council of Europe limits: foods (5 ppm); beverages (5 ppm). Nutty
General comment Chocolate, popcorn in dilution (10ppm)
