Description

Isoamylmethyl Sulfide CAS NO 13286-90-3 is a sulfur-containing organic compound characterized by its distinctive, powerful odor. This organosulfur chemical serves as a crucial intermediate and flavor/fragrance ingredient, valued for its ability to impart meaty, savory, and alliaceous notes. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance industry, as well as by research and development chemists in organic synthesis for creating more complex sulfur-based molecules.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: A key component in creating savory, meaty, roasted, and garlic/onion flavor profiles for processed foods, snacks, and savory seasonings.
• Aroma Chemicals: Used in the formulation of specialty fragrances and aroma compositions where powerful, sulfurous notes are desired.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a versatile building block in the research and production of more complex sulfur-containing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals.
• Food Technology: Employed in trace amounts to enhance or replicate the authentic taste of cooked meats, such as beef, pork, and chicken, in culinary applications.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D labs for studying organosulfur chemistry and developing new synthetic methodologies.
