Metabolite Identification
Common NameBis(methylthio)methane
DescriptionBis(methylthio)methane is found in animal foods. Bis(methylthio)methane is a odorous constituent of white truffle (Tuber magnatum); volatile component of some cheeses and boiled beef aroma. Also found in milk, fish oils, shitake mushroom, truffles, prawns and lobster. Bis(methylthio)methane is an important off-flavour component of foods. Bis(methylthio)methane is used in seasonings. It is used as a primary aromatic ingredient in truffle oil when combined in an olive oil base
