Organoleptic Properties

Odor Type: Sulfurous
sulfurous, catty, currant black currant, minty, tropical, sweet, skunk, mango, peach, grapefruit
General comment At 0.10 % in triacetin. sulfurous catty black currant minty tropical
Mosciano, Gerard P&F 26, No. 5, 68, (2001) At 0.10 % in propylene glycol. Sweet, sulfurous, skunk-like and catty, with a minty tropical thiomenthone like mango, peach, black currant and grapefruit nuances
Flavor Type: Sulfurous
sulfurous, catty, tropical, fruity, mango, peach, spearmint, beefy, chicken
Mosciano, Gerard P&F 26, No. 5, 68, (2001) At 0.10 - 0.40 ppm. Strong sulfurous, catty, tropical fruity notes reminiscent of mango, peach and spearmint. It has minor nuances of beef and chicken
This material is responsible for the "catty" fruity sensory properties & sulphurous note found in blackcurrant buds. Traditionally, buchu oil and Thiomenthone have been used to achieve this type of note in the formulation of blackcurrant flavours. Used in other fruit flavours, such as tropical fruit and peach Black currant
