Cat piss is another thiol. I oddly get the aroma from coffee too

Sounds dank. I need someone to test this gmo terp sauce and see what’s the magic behind it

I like the sound of the grapefruit mercaptan. I’m gonna look into it. One of my favorite strains has that smell
I would really watch out handling thiols. They are absolutely horrendous smelling. If you don’t have a fume hood, do not even consider it

Chimera just posted this paper on IG that talks about the production of Thiols in Cannabis. Specifically methyl-2-butene-1-thiol was called out as being the primary odorant. Paper and supplemental graphs are attached

Crazy how it’s the year 2021 and we are just now identifying the skunk odor compounds in cannabis! Very cool work by the Abstrax team. Somehow I never noticed this thread, but I too always had the hunch many of the odor compounds were sulfur containing. You can certainly smell it when distilling material that was not treated with exogenous sulfur.
Interesting stuff!
