Key Characteristics
  • Odor: Extremely pungent, skunk-like, garlicky, and sulfurous. It is one of the most powerful odorants known to humans.
  • Low Odor Threshold: Its odor can be detected by the human nose at concentrations as low as 0.0003 parts per billion (ppb). This means a single drop can taint the air in a very large volume.
  • Used in extremely minute, controlled concentrations as a flavoring agent. It can impart savory, meaty, or alliaceous (garlic/onion) notes to processed foods, roasted coffee, and some cheeses.

  • Acts as a building block for synthesizing other fragrance compounds where the sulfur atom is modified or incorporated into more complex molecules.

  • In extremely diluted amounts, contributes savory, meaty, roasted, or alliaceous notes to foods (coffee, cheese, processed meats).
