General description

Dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS), a volatile sulfur compound (VSC), is a major aroma consituent in cooked Brassicaceous vegetables. Dimethyl trisulfide formation is reported during beer aging. It has been reported to be responsible for common malodour from fungating cancer samples. It is an important taste and odor (T&O)-causing compound in China, mainly associated with the septic/swampy odor. It has been identified as a common odor-producing compound by Microcystis (on its decay). Granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption of dimethyl trisulfide, an algal odorant, has been reported.

Application


  • Exploring the binding affinity and characteristics of DcitOBP9 in citrus psyllids.: This study investigates the binding properties of dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) with DcitOBP9, an odorant-binding protein in citrus psyllids, providing insights into the potential role of DMTS in pest management strategies (Pei et al., 2024).

The vibrational theory of olfaction assumes that electron transfer occurs across odorants at the active sites of odorant receptors (ORs), serving as a sensitive measure of odorant vibrational frequencies, ultimately leading to olfactory perception. A previous study reported that human

Changes in the aroma of sake during aging were investigated by aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) and quantitative analysis using the stir bar sorptive extraction method. In AEDA, more odor zones were detected in aged sake than in fresh sake.

Hop S-methylcysteine sulfoxide has previously been postulated as the precursor of dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) in beers. The present data point to 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde, the Strecker aldehyde issued from methionine, as another potential precursor in aged beers. Spiking either fresh beer or
