Dimethyl Trisulfide
Dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) is a volatile sulfur compound occasionally detected in cannabis flower, contributing to savory, garlic-like, or cooked-vegetable aromatics. This terpene-adjacent volatile appears in trace amounts in certain cultivar lineages, particularly those with heritage in Skunk-family genetics. DMTS formation may result from plant metabolism of sulfur-containing precursors during growth or post-harvest curing processes. Detection requires gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) due to extremely low concentrations. Research on cannabis DMTS remains limited compared to major terpenes, though breeders and chemists recognize its role in complex aroma profiles.

Breeders working in Skunk and funk-forward lines often note DMTS contributions to distinctive savory profiles. Understanding sulfur volatile pathways may help cultivators optimize curing conditions that either preserve or minimize these compounds depending on target phenotype expression.
