Metabolite Identification
Common NameDimethyldisulfide
DescriptionDimethyldisulfide, also known as 2,3-dithiabutane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dialkyldisulfides. These are organic compounds containing a disulfide group R-SS-R' where R and R' are both alkyl groups. Dimethyldisulfide is a cabbage, citrus, and earthy tasting compound. Dimethyldisulfide is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as kohlrabis (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes), soft-necked garlics (Allium sativum L. var. sativum), and milk (cow). Dimethyldisulfide has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as wild leeks (Allium ampeloprasum), welsh onions (Allium fistulosum), chickens (Gallus gallus), blackberries (Rubus), and evergreen blackberries (Rubus laciniatus). This could make dimethyldisulfide a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Dimethyldisulfide is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Dimethyldisulfide, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as perillyl alcohol administration for cancer treatment, irritable bowel syndrome, crohn's disease, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; dimethyldisulfide has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Dimethyldisulfide.
