Dietary Sulfur Compounds and Halitosis: Bridging Food Science, Microbial Metabolism, and Oral Health: A Comprehensive Review
Intraoral halitosis is predominantly caused by anaerobic microbes within the tongue biofilm that break down sulfur‐containing amino acids, especially cysteine and methionine, to volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). In addition to microbial activity, there is growing evidence to suggest that dietary factors are able to inf...
