Product Description

H2S, like boiled eggs or rotten eggs”

Certified soft drinks flavour standard used to train professional soft drink tasters to recognize and scale the intensity of H2S character.

Hydrogen sulphide can taint soft drinks via contaminated carbon dioxide supplies. It can also arise through microbiological spoilage and through chemical reactions taking place within the product. Hydrogen sulphide imparts an unpleasant sulphury odour to soft drinks, reminiscent of boiled eggs or rotten eggs.

Food grade | Free from sensory impurities | Extensively tested | Safe to smell and taste.

IMPORTANCE

Hydrogen sulphide imparts an unpleasant sulphury note to contaminated soft drinks. H2S is easily oxidized to less odour-active species, so its presence is indicative of the failure of water treatment processes or contamination arising during production of soft drinks.

ORIGINS

H2S is a contaminant of carbonated soft drinks which can be introduced through use of insufficiently-purified carbon dioxide. It can also arise through microbiological spoilage by bacteria, and through chemical reactions involving metal surfaces in canned products.

HOW TO TASTE

The best way to reliably detect hydrogen sulphide in soft drinks is as follows. Without covering the glass, swirl the sample to release the aroma. Take a single short sniff. Repeat as necessary while taking great care not to saturate your odour receptors with the flavour.

CAS NUMBER

The CAS registry number of hydrogen sulphide is 7783-06-4.
