Encyclopedia > Dimethyl sulfide

Dimethyl sulfide causes that distinctive smell from your St. Patrick's Day boiled cabbage. When this compound is present at low levels in wines, it contributes to an overall fruity odor. Dimethyl sulfide given off by marine organisms is thought to be a source of cloud condensation nuclei, and this, in turn could affect the Earth's climate.

Any dimethyl sulfide that is formed will eventually migrate to the interior of the hemoglobin molecule and as such be transported everywhere in the blood.
