Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biosynthesis, and in particular relates to a glycanase and its application in the biosynthesis of 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine. Background technique
[0002] 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine (2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine, TMP), also known as ligustrazine, is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound. It is a colorless crystalline compound with a melting point of 80-82°C, easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and propylene glycol, and slightly soluble in ether. Ligustrazine has a special burnt sweet, nutty and roasted taste, and it exists in nuts, cocoa beans, coffee and other popular foods. In addition, it is also an important component in liquor, which not only helps to enhance the aroma of the liquor, but also has health benefits to a certain extent. Ligustrazine is a recognized safe substance and is a food additive allowed by national standards, with a maximum concentration of 10mg / kg.
