General description

4-Methylthio-4-methyl-2-pentanone is a volatile sulfur-containing flavor compound found in white wines.

Application

  • Optimization of ultrasound assisted-emulsification-dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction by experimental design methodologies for the determination of sulfur compounds in wines by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.: This paper discusses the optimization of a novel extraction technique using 4-Methylthio-4-methyl-2-pentanone for identifying sulfur compounds in wines. The methodology enhances the detection capabilities of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, offering significant improvements in food safety and quality control (Silva MF et al., 2010).
