ABSTRACT
The 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) is the distinctive aroma compound in rice and many other foods such as popcorn, wheat, and rye bread crusts. Its amount in rice is very minute and varies from 0.05 to 0.34 ppm. Several methods are available for identifying and quantifying the 2-AP in rice. Nevertheless, an extensive method is lacking to extract, identify and quantify 2-AP, which needs attention immediately. The aim of this paper was to have an extensive review to highlight the updated and upgraded knowledge on traditional and recent extraction methods with advanced analytical techniques and instrumentation for isolation, characterization, and quantification of the 2-AP compound from different types of rice samples. In addition, there has also been a discussion of the chemistry, formation, and synthesis of 2-AP in rice and its connection with rice quality.
