Mf. Herent et S. Collin, PYRAZINE AND THIAZOLE STRUCTURAL-PROPERTIES AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE RECOVERY OF SUCH DERIVATIVES IN AROMA EXTRACTION PROCEDURES, Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 46(5), 1998, pp. 1975-1980
This work aims to provide better knowledge of pyrazine and thiazole st
ructural properties, exploitable in aroma extraction. An optimized ext
raction method including steam-vacuum distillation and liquid/liquid e
xtractions of the aqueous distillate followed by gas chromatography-ni
trogen-phosphorus detector analysis enabled us to quantify 50 ppt of s
uch heterocycles in a food matrix such as beer. Lipophilicity appears
as a determining parameter for vacuum distillation while basicity gove
rns the liquid/liquid extractions.
