Notes:
Present in cooked chicken and beef. Flavouring ingredient 1,2-Ethanedithiol is an odorous, colorless liquid with the formula C2H4(SH)2. It has a very characteristic odour which is compared by many people to rotten cabbage. It is a common building block in organic synthesis and an excellent ligand for metal ions.
