Methyl Ethyl Sulfide Typical Properties

Product Description:
Methylthioethane, also known as ethyl methyl sulfide, is a clear, colorless, volatile liquid with a very strong, characteristic odor often described as sulfurous, onion-like, or garlic-like. It is an organosulfur compound belonging to the class of thioethers (sulfides), meaning it contains a sulfur atom bonded to two alkyl groups (one methyl and one ethyl).

Due to its potent aroma, even at extremely low concentrations, Methylthioethane plays a significant role as a trace volatile in various natural products and is used in the flavor and fragrance industry. It is sparingly soluble in water but readily miscible with organic solvents.

Key Applications:

• Flavor Industry:?Used in very low concentrations as a flavoring agent to impart savory, meaty, onion, or garlic notes in food products, especially in processed foods, seasonings, and culinary preparations.

• Fragrance Industry:?Employed in perfumery, typically in trace amounts, to add sulfurous, green, or earthy nuances to complex fragrance formulations.

• Chemical Intermediate:?Can serve as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other organosulfur compounds, although its primary commercial use is aroma-related.

• Analytical Standards:?Used in analytical chemistry as a reference standard for the detection and quantification of volatile sulfur compounds in food, beverages, and environmental samples.

• Research & Development:?Used in studies related to flavor chemistry, food spoilage, and the synthesis of novel organosulfur compounds.
