QUICK LINKS

Allyl propyl disulfide is a colorless liquid characterized by its sharp, garlicky scent and is prevalent in Allium vegetables like garlic, onions, and leeks. While it dissolves well in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and acetone, it does not mix with water. This compound is valuable in various scientific fields. For instance, in food science, it′s used as both a flavor enhancer and a natural preservative. Agriculturally, it serves as a natural pesticide and promotes crop growth. Furthermore, within environmental studies, Allyl propyl disulfide is explored as an eco-friendly substitute for conventional chemicals in waste processing and water purification.
