Indian cress (Tropaeolum majus L.) absolute was studied by GC-olfactometry (VIDEO-Sniff method) in order to identify odor-active aroma compounds. Because of its fruity-sulfury odor note, a compound that has never been identified in plant extracts before stood out: O,S-diethyl thiocarbonate, present at 0.1% (percentage of the total GC/FID area) in the extract. GCxGC-TOFMS allowed for a clean mass spectrum to be obtained, and isolation by preparative GC followed by NMR studies allowed its identification. Here, we report on the first detection of O,S-diethyl thiocarbonate in Indian cress absolute by GC-olfactometry/VIDEO-Sniff and on its isolation and identification. The synthesis and odor evaluation of its homologues are presented.
