Common Namedimethyltetrasulfide
DescriptionDimethyl tetrasulfide belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sulfenyl compounds. These are organosulfur compounds a sulfenyl group with the general formula RS (R = organyl). Dimethyl tetrasulfide is a cabbage, garlic, and meaty tasting compound. Dimethyl tetrasulfide has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as common mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus), shiitakes (Lentinus edodes), garden onions (Allium cepa), cauliflowers (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), and green onion. This could make dimethyl tetrasulfide a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Dimethyl tetrasulfide.
