CAS 4253-89-8 Typical Properties

Product Description:

Isopropyl disulfide is an organic sulfur compound belonging to the disulfide family, characterized by two isopropyl groups linked via a disulfide (-S-S-) bond. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, characteristic sulfurous odor, often described as garlic-like, onion-like, or pungent. This compound is a significant aroma constituent found naturally in various foods, especially those from the?Allium?genus (like onions and garlic), contributing to their distinctive savory and sometimes pungent profiles.

Due to its impactful aromatic properties, Isopropyl disulfide is used at low concentrations in the flavor industry to impart or enhance specific savory, cooked vegetable, or onion/garlic notes in food and beverage formulations. It also serves as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other organosulfur compounds. Given its strong odor, proper handling with adequate ventilation and personal protective equipment is recommended.

Applications:

• Flavor Industry:?Used in food and beverage formulations to impart or enhance savory, onion, garlic, or cooked vegetable flavors.

• Organic Synthesis:?Serves as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of other organosulfur compounds, particularly those containing disulfide linkages.

• Research & Development:?Employed in studies related to food chemistry, flavor development, and organosulfur chemistry.

• Specialty Chemicals:?Can be used in the production of specialized chemicals where its disulfide functionality is advantageous.
