4-Mercapto-4-methyl-2-pentanone is one of the most strongly contributing odorants in the volatile fraction of a Japanese green tea (sen-cha) infusion, and on the basis of the results of an aroma extract dilution analysis. 4-mercapto-4-methyl-2-pentanone in the grapefruit/sulfury group was found in reconstituted concentrate after thermal concentration.
Primary Uses and Applications
The sole, crucial application of 4-Mercapto-4-methylpentan-2-one is in the flavor and fragrance industry.
  • Food & Beverage Flavoring: It is indispensable for creating authentic tropical and berry flavors. It is used in extremely minute quantities (often in the parts-per-million range) in:
    • Beverages: Blackcurrant cordials (like Ribena), tropical fruit punches, passionfruit and guava drinks.
    • Candies & Confections: Fruit chews, hard candies, and gummies.
    • Dairy: Fruit yogurts and ice creams.
    • Wine Aromatics: It is a key aroma marker in certain varietals, though it is naturally present, not added.
  • Fragrances: Used with extreme caution in perfumery to add a unique, crisp, green, and tropical lift to fragrance compositions, particularly in the top notes. It can be found in both feminine and masculine fragrances aiming for a modern, fruity-green character.
