Methyl thiohexanoate

The supply of MT may be rate-limiting in K. lactis. In addition to S-methyl thioacetate, G. candidum also contains S-methyl thiopropionate, S-methyl thiobutanoate, S-methyl thiowobutanoate, S-methyl thiowovalerate, and S-methyl thiohexanoate in smaller amounts.42...

Aliphatic esters in various combinations play a major part in many flavors, particularly fruit flavors 441), Hexyl acetate develops the strongest and most typical odor in Cox s Orange Pippin apples (279). Hexyl 2-methylbutyrate contributes highly to the flavor of Golden Delicious apples (265). Methyl and ethyl esters of ( )-3-hexenoic, (Z)-4-decenoic (32) and )- and (Z)-4-octenoic acids have some importance in the flavor of pineapple 408). Methyl (Z)-4-decenoate (32) and methyl thiohexanoate account for about 56% of the odor provided by the components of the oxygenated fraction of hop oil 202). Ethyl (jE, Z)-2,4-decadienoate (35) is considered as the character impact compound in the aroma of Bartlett pears (227) (Table 2). The application of this pear ester in reconstitution work has been facilitated by the development of highly stereospecific syntheses 405, 407, 457). Isobutyl an-gelate is considered as an essential constituent of Roman camomile oil 85).
