Penta Fine Ingredients

Natural 4-methoxy-2-methyl-2-butanethiol (FEMA# 3785; CAS# 94087-83-9) from Penta Fine Ingredients occurs naturally in blackcurrant (cassis) and olive oil. It delivers an intense blackcurrant character with sulfurous, floral rose, citrus, and melon nuances in extreme dilution. The flavor profile features blackcurrant, tropical fruit, waxy, and fatty notes. Recommended applications include cassis and blackcurrant flavors, tropical fruit profiles, sauvignon blanc-style wine flavors, and berry-forward beverages at ppb levels. In fragrance, it is well suited for tropical floral accords, wine-inspired creations, and naturalistic berry compositions.
