Abstract
The cysteine sulphoxide marasmin is a natural sulphur-containing aroma precursor, occurring in several plant species, as well as in some members of the genus Marasmius. After disruption of a cell containing it, it is cleaved by a C-S-lyase. The generated sulfenic acids lead to the formation of the thiosulfinate marasmicin which is the main odourous compound of Marasmius spec. and some of these plants. Marasmicin has been drawn attention to for further investigation due to bioactivity against fungi and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [1]
