Description :

Overview of Dimethyl Trisulfide

Dimethyl Trisulfide is a yellow to orange liquid with an extremely strong, sulfurous, onion- and garlic-like odour. It is a volatile organosulfur compound that occurs naturally in cooked onions, garlic, leeks, and certain vegetables. Known for its potent aroma and chemical reactivity, it is widely used in the flavour, fragrance, chemical, and agricultural industries. It is slightly soluble in water but freely soluble in alcohols, ethers, and organic solvents.

Applications of Dimethyl Trisulfide

Flavor & Fragrance Industry

• Used in food flavoring formulations to impart meaty, roasted, and savory notes, especially in processed meats and sauces.

• Often blended with aroma chemicals like Methyl Isobutyl Ketone to enhance complexity and depth in flavor profiles.

• Adds umami and sulfurous undertones in flavor creations for snacks, soups, and seasoning blends.
  
  

Chemical & Industrial Applications

• Serves as a key intermediate in organosulfur chemistry and chemical synthesis processes.

• Used in agrochemical formulations and industrial odorants.

• Supports laboratory research and pilot-scale synthesis where sulfur-containing compounds are required.

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Handle with care due to its extremely strong odour and volatility.
• Wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing when handling.
• Avoid inhalation of vapours; use only in well-ventilated areas or under a fume hood.
• Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry place away from heat, flames, and oxidising agents.
• Wash thoroughly after handling; prolonged contact should be avoided.
