  • Applications

    Allyl methyl trisulfide (CAS 34135-85-8) is an organosulfur compound with a strong garlic/onion odor used primarily as a flavor ingredient to recreate cooked sulfurous, garlic and onion notes in sauces, soups, meat products, savory snacks, liquid seasonings and compound flavors, and at trace levels in fragrances, technical aromas and sensory matrices to build depth, authenticity and umami–savory effects; in laboratories it serves as an analytical/internal standard for GC–MS/GC–O profiling of Allium volatiles, a quality marker for garlic/onion oils and flavor control across supply chains, a polysulfide donor/reagent for studies of sulfur chemistry, biotransformation and trans-sulfuration reactions, and a synthetic intermediate to introduce allylthio/methylthio functionality or modulate sulfur content in target molecules; additionally, it has been explored as a niche technical additive (e.g., supporting surface microbe suppression, odor modulation in polymers or industrial oils), as a probe for the biological activities of garlic-derived polysulfides, and as a reference compound in sensory–toxicological work to establish odor thresholds, safety limits and to model sulfur-note impacts in complex food matrices.
