Common NameBIS-(METHYLTHIO)METHANE
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionBis(methylthio)methane is found in animal foods. Bis(methylthio)methane is a odorous constituent of white truffle (Tuber magnatum); volatile component of some cheeses and boiled beef aroma. Also found in milk, fish oils, shitake mushroom, truffles, prawns and lobster. Bis(methylthio)methane is an important off-flavour component of foods. Bis(methylthio)methane is used in seasonings 2,4-Dithiapentane is an organic compound known to be an important component of truffle flavor. It is used as a primary aromatic ingredient in truffle oil when combined in an olive oil base
