Description :

Overview of Diethyl Disulfide

Diethyl Disulfide is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, characteristic sulfurous odor. It has the chemical formula C₄H₁₀S₂ and a molecular weight of 122.25 g/mol. This compound naturally occurs in onions, garlic, and other allium species and plays a key role in the characteristic aroma of these plants. Industrially, it is used as a flavoring agent, chemical intermediate, and odorant component in various formulations.

Due to its unique sulfur-based aroma, Diethyl Disulfide is also used in fragrance and flavor synthesis, particularly in meaty, roasted, or savory accords. It provides depth, warmth, and realism in flavor compositions and acts as a stabilizing note in some perfumery blends.

Applications of Diethyl Disulfide

Flavor & Fragrance Industry

Used as an enhancer to replicate natural onion, garlic, and roasted meat flavor profiles in food products such as snacks, seasonings, sauces, and flavor concentrates, sulfuric, warm, and umami-rich depth can add complexity.

Perfumery utilizes sulfur notes as an accurate representation to add realistic sulfur notes in animalic or smoky blends.

Chemical & Industrial Applications

Used as an intermediate in organosulfur compound synthesis; pesticide, lubricant, and polymer manufacturing applications. Also serves as an analytical chemistry reference material and for odorant calibration services.

Plays an integral role in fuel additives and specific, specialized industrial processes.

Research & Development

Widely studied in flavor chemistry and gas chromatography as a key sulfur compound.

Used in odor perception studies and the development of artificial aroma models.

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and ignition sources.
• Avoid skin and eye contact; always use protective gloves, goggles, and lab coats.
• Handle under fume hood conditions due to its strong odor and volatility.
• Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent leakage and odor spread.
