  <name>Dimethyl hexasulfide</name>
  <description>Dimethyl hexasulfide is a member of the class of compounds known as sulfenyl compounds. Sulfenyl compounds are organosulfur compounds a sulfenyl group with the general formula RS (R = organyl). Dimethyl hexasulfide can be found in soft-necked garlic, which makes dimethyl hexasulfide a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
