Used as a flavor and fragrance compound due to its strong, meaty, and savory aroma. Commonly applied in the food industry to enhance flavor in processed foods, particularly in meat flavorings, soups, sauces, and snacks. Also utilized in the creation of perfume blends where a sulfurous or roasted note is desired. Its high odor potency allows for effective use at low concentrations. Frequently employed in analytical chemistry as a reference standard or reagent in sulfur compound studies.
