                     - The (S)-isomer exhibits herbaceous, agrestic
                     and green notes (Acuna, et. al.). The
                     (S)-3-mercapto-3-methyl-hexan-1-ol is useful to
                     enhance the flavor properties of food products,
                     especially the meaty, boiled meat character of
                     meat products the cooked vegetable and meaty

                     described as sweat and onion-like (Troccaz, et.
                     al); also described by Hasegawa et. al. as
                     having a strong meaty, fruity note wth a
