Primary Use: Aroma & Flavor Chemistry

3-Mercapto-2-methylpentan-1-ol is predominantly and almost exclusively used in the fragrance and flavor industry.

  • In Perfumery: It is a powerful top-note ingredient. Perfumers use it in trace amounts (often in parts per million or billion) to add:

    • Tropical, fruity accents to floral, fruity, and fantasy fragrances.

    • A juicy, fresh "boost" to citrus colognes.

    • A modern, diffusive effect. Its aroma helps create a compelling first impression in a scent composition.

  • In Flavoring: It is used to impart or enhance:

    • Tropical fruit flavors (especially grapefruit, passion fruit) in beverages, candies, and desserts.

    • Savory, meaty nuances in reaction flavors or savory applications (though less common than for fruit).

Critical Note on Odor Threshold: One of its most remarkable features is its extremely low odor threshold (the minimum concentration at which it can be detected by smell). This makes it a potent impact chemical, where minuscule amounts have a dramatic effect on a fragrance or flavor formula.

Safety & Handling

  • Like many mercaptans, it should be handled with care in its pure form—using appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles) and in a well-ventilated area or fume hood due to its potent odor.

  • For consumer products (perfumes, foods), it is used in highly diluted forms and is considered safe for use as a flavor and fragrance ingredient within established regulatory guidelines.
