Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethyl phenyl sulfide
DescriptionMethyl phenyl sulfide, also known as (1-thiaethyl)benzene or (methylthio)benzene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aryl thioethers. These are organosulfur compounds containing a thioether group that is substituted by an aryl group. Methyl phenyl sulfide is a solvent, spicy, and toluene tasting compound. Methyl phenyl sulfide has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as arabica coffees (Coffea arabica), breakfast cereal, cereals and cereal products, herbs and spices, and robusta coffees (Coffea canephora). This could make methyl phenyl sulfide a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Methyl phenyl sulfide.
