Best Answer

the 2 out of 7 components that are responsible for the odor are: (E)-2-butene-1-thiol and 3-meythil-1-butanethiol. this combination is so potent that humans can smell them at a concentration of 10 parts per billion, which means you would still smell int if you mixed a spoonful in an olympic pool.
