Sensorial Contribution and Formation Pathways of Thiols in Foods: A Review
Abstract
Since the mid-1990s, more than 300 publications have been devoted to the organoleptic relevance of thiols in foods (meats, wines, fruits). The available data about their physicochemical and sensorial properties, occurrence in foods, and potential formation pathways are compiled in this article.

Sulfur-containing flavour compounds typically occur in wine at very low concentrations, have very low detection thresholds and generally confer a negative sensory contribution to wine.
“Sulfur-containing flavour compounds typically occur in wine at very low concentrations, have very low detection thresholds and generally confer a negative sensory contribution to wine (Table 2) (Peppard 1988, Mestres et al. 2000, Vermeulen et al. 2005).”

Hydrogen sulfide is highly reactive and can react to generate compounds that impact wine flavour.
“Hydrogen sulfide is a highly reactive species, which can take part in a range of reactions to generate compounds that impact on the flavour of a wine (Vermeulen et al. 2005).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
