Application
- Sensor development for dimethyl disulfide detection: A study detailed the development of a delafossite CuGaO2-based chemiresistive sensor designed for sensitive and selective detection of dimethyl disulfide, highlighting its potential in environmental monitoring and industrial applications (Zhang et al., 2024).
- Odor control in food packaging: Research on active packaging materials incorporated with calcium hydroxide and modified porous medium demonstrated effectiveness in reducing carbon dioxide and controlling kimchi odor, potentially applicable to industrial food processing and storage (Jeong et al., 2024).
- Improvement of food flavor profiles: An investigation into the effects of different extraction methods on the volatile profiles of flaxseed oils emphasized the role of dimethyl disulfide in enhancing food flavors, contributing to the optimization of food processing techniques (Sun et al., 2023).
- Disease control in agriculture: A study on the alleviation of banded leaf and sheath blight in maize using bacterial volatile organic compounds, including dimethyl disulfide, suggested new pathways for plant disease management through natural chemical signaling (Yasmin et al., 2023).
- Fumigation effects on pathogen reduction: Examination of fumigation methods for the reduction of Salmonella enterica in soil highlighted dimethyl disulfide as an effective agent, offering a potential strategy for improving soil safety in agricultural settings (Gu et al., 2023).
