Thiols And Disulfides
Thiols and disulfides are sulfur-containing volatile compounds found in cannabis and many other plants. These molecules are responsible for pungent, savory, and sometimes garlic-like or onion-like aromas in certain strains. Lineage records frequently report thiol and disulfide presence in Haze-family genetics and modern skunk-derived cultivars. Breeders studying cannabis aroma chemistry recognize these compounds as markers of specific chemotypes, though their exact sensory and behavioral roles remain active areas of horticultural research. Detection requires laboratory analysis such as gas chromatography or mass spectrometry.

Breeders working in skunk and savory-aroma categories often select for parent plants showing elevated thiol and disulfide profiles in chemical assays. Understanding sulfur-compound expression helps cultivators stabilize distinctive aroma traits across generations and inform cultivation decisions that may influence volatile compound development.
