Volatile sulfur compounds have been reported to be responsible for the sulfurous off-flavors generated during the thermal processing of milk; however, their analysis has been a challenge due to their high reactivity, high volatility, and low sensory threshold. In this study, reactive thiols were stabilized and the volatile sulfur compounds in milk were extracted by headspace solid-phase microex...

Halitosis is a common complaint involving social and communicational problems in humans and also affects the pet-owner relationship. In this randomized placebo-controlled crossover clinical evaluation, we assessed the effectiveness of a dedicated dietary supplement to improve chronic halitosis in 32 dogs of different breeds and ages. This protocol describes how to evalute the presence of oral v...

A biofilter packed with granular activated carbon (GAC) was applied to eliminate volatile-sulfur compounds (VSC) emitted from solid-liquid separation tank in swine wastewater treatment system. Hydrogen sulfide, methanethiol, dimethyl disulfide, and dimethyl sulfide were effectively reduced to 96-100% at gas residence times of 13-30s. Elemental sulfur and sulfate are their primary oxidation meta...

Biogenic Sulfur Compounds, Gas Chromatography, Concrete Corrosion Pseudomonasßuorescens, Proteus vulgaris, and Serratia marcescens, members o f the microflora of soil and waste water, attacked methionine in the presence o f glucose. The sulfur o f m ethionine was released as methane thiol, dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide. The volatile sulfur com ­ pounds were qualitatively and quantitat...
