General description

Bis(2-Methyl-3-furyl) disulfide is a volatile sulfur compound that is a key contributor to the meat-like aroma in cooked meat.

Application


  • Decoding the interaction mechanism between bis(2-methyl-3-furyl) disulfide and oral mucin.: This study explores the interaction of bis(2-methyl-3-furyl) disulfide with oral mucin, providing insights into how this compound may influence flavor perception in food products. Understanding these interactions helps in developing food products with optimized sensory profiles, crucial for the food industry (Xi et al., 2024).

  • Generation of Meaty Aroma from Onion (Allium cepa L.) with Polyporus umbellatus: Fermentation System, Sensory Profile, and Aroma Characterization.: This research uncovers the potential of bis(2-methyl-3-furyl) disulfide in enhancing the meaty aroma of onions when fermented with Polyporus umbellatus. This novel approach to flavor enhancement could revolutionize culinary applications and offers new avenues for natural flavoring in vegetarian and vegan food products (Stöppelmann et al., 2023).

The volatile compounds of three different fresh-picked truffle varieties (Tuber sinensis, T1, Tuber sinoalbidum, T2 and Tuber sinoexcavatum, T3) were extracted by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME). Separation and identification of volatile components and sulfur compounds were investigated by gas chromatography-olfactometry
