“…Pyrazines are aromatic compounds that can be caused by the Maillard reaction in several foods (Maga, 1982;Flament, 1989), through extrusion cooking (Ames et al, 1997;Bredie et al, 1998), roasting (Flament, 1989;Beal and Mottram, 1994), or by other thermic processes, as well as in some cases by fermentation (Owens et al, 1997). Some pyrazines (nine) have also been previously detected in smoke flavorings (Maga and Chen, 1985;Chen and Maga, 1995); however, most of these do not coincide with those found in the LSS sample. The main properties of this kind of compound are organoleptic, described in general as pungent, nutty, burnt, roasted, grassy, and, in some cases, butterscotch.…”

The fraction extractable with dichloromethane of the aerial parts of sage (Salvia lavandulifolia) and the liquid smoke obtained from this plant are studied by means of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and gas chromatography. The extract of the aerial parts of the sage plant contains not only terpene, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, and their oxygenated derivatives, which are interesting compounds both for their organoleptic properties and for their antioxidant activity, but also a large group of phenolic compounds with abietatriene or related structure, the mass spectra of which are given, many of them having antioxidant, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. The liquid sage smoke obtained is slightly acidic and contains common smoke components in specific proportions, and a large group of aromatic nitrogenated derivatives such as pyrazine and pyridine derivatives in small proportions, together with the main oxygenated terpene derivatives present in the plant; some of the compounds detected in this liquid smoke have not been described as smoke components before.
