Used in the food industry as a flavor enhancer, particularly for creating meat-like and savory aromas in processed foods and seasonings. Commonly found in flavor formulations for soups, snacks, and instant meals to impart a rich, umami character. Also utilized in the synthesis of specialty chemicals for fragrance applications, contributing to complex scent profiles in perfumery. Its strong, sulfurous notes make it valuable in developing realistic aroma systems at low concentrations.
