Application
- Application of Synthetic Flavors in Zebrafish Rearing: The study details the effects of using synthetic flavors, including dimethyl sulfide, in the aquaculture of zebrafish, highlighting benefits in fish development and welfare. This application suggests potential for broader aquaculture practices (Conti et al., 2023).
- Impact of Sulfur Fertilizers on Potato Tuber Flavor: Research explored the combined application of phosphorus and sulfur fertilizers on the flavor of potato tubers, noting that sulfur compounds like dimethyl sulfide can influence agricultural product quality (Li et al., 2023).
- Two-Dimensional Platelets Assembly: A study demonstrated the use of small molecules including dimethyl sulfide for the living self-assembly of metastable and stable two-dimensional platelets, offering insights into novel materials engineering methods (Liao et al., 2023).
- Enhancement of Volatile Flavor Compounds: Investigation on the effect of instant pressure drop treatment on the volatile flavor compounds in whole highland barley flour. The study emphasizes the role of dimethyl sulfide in enhancing food flavors through advanced processing techniques (Chen et al., 2023).
- Role in Marine Biogeochemical Cycles: This research highlighted the contribution of fungi to the increased production of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), a precursor to dimethyl sulfide, in kelp ecosystems, underscoring its importance in marine biogeochemical cycles (Perkins et al., 2023).
