Dibenzyl disulfide

Dibenzyl disulfide (CAS 150-60-7), also known as DBDS, is an organosulfur compound used as a flavoring agent, antioxidant, and catalyst precursor. FEMA 3617.

Where is Dibenzyl disulfide used?

• Food and beverage flavoring: savory, roasted, and sulfurous notes in meat, coffee, and processed food formulations at trace concentrations
• Cosmetic and personal care: antioxidant stabilizer extending shelf life of lipid-containing products such as creams and balms
• Catalyst chemistry: sulfur-donor precursor for metal sulfide catalysts in hydroprocessing and organic synthesis
• Pharmaceutical manufacturers evaluate it as an intermediate or stabilizing additive in formulation development.

Good to know: Standard commercial grades include food-grade material meeting FEMA specifications and technical-grade product for industrial and catalyst applications.
