Used primarily as a flavor and fragrance ingredient due to its strong, sulfurous, and tropical fruit-like aroma. It is commonly employed in the food industry to impart or enhance passion fruit, guava, and other exotic fruit flavors in beverages, candies, and dairy products. Also utilized in perfumery for adding unique fruity-sulfur notes to fragrance compositions, contributing complexity and naturalness. Its high potency means it is effective at low usage levels, making it valuable in fine-tuning flavor and scent profiles.
