Description

• General description: 2,5-Dimethylpyrazine is a pyrazine compound that is mainly formed in food products such as cooked rice or roasted peanuts due to the Maillard reaction between sugars and proteins during cooking or roasting process.[1][2][3]
• Application: Engineering Escherichia coli for high-yielding 2,5-Dimethylpyrazine synthesis from L-Threonine by reconstructing metabolic pathways and enhancing cofactors regeneration.: This study details the genetic engineering of *E. coli* to enhance the production of 2,5-Dimethylpyrazine from L-Threonine. By reconstructing metabolic pathways and improving cofactor regeneration, the researchers achieved higher yields, presenting a significant advancement for industrial bioproduction of this compound (Liu et al., 2024).Pyrazines Biosynthesis by Bacillus Strains Isolated from Natto Fermented Soybean.: This research explores the natural biosynthesis of pyrazines, including 2,5-Dimethylpyrazine, by *Bacillus* strains isolated from natto. The findings contribute to understanding the microbial production of flavor compounds and their potential applications in food biotechnology (Klosowski et al., 2021).
