Yes.

Hydrogen sulfide, which is released from the decomposition of cysteine, and fecal odorant, which is converted from the decomposition of tryptophan, ultimately make up the characteristic odor of sour bamboo shoots. Sour bamboo shoots called "junk food" or unfair Check the information found on the sour bamboo shoots in the nutritional composition of the study is less, but there is a master's thesis has analyzed the main nutrients of bamboo shoots.

From the researched thesis, the cysteine and tryptophan in sour bamboo shoots are consumed in large quantities, and the accumulation of the end products, hydrogen sulfide and fecal odorant, leads to its strong odor. In addition, the combination of heat and spiciness in the snail meal process accelerates the evaporation of the various odorants, so that after eating, people are still left with a "three days of intoxication" and can not stop.

In nature, most of the putrid odors come from microbial fermentation. Food that has been fermented by microorganisms is easier to digest and assimilate than the original food because the microorganisms have already "pre-digested" the food for the person.

This expert said, people for sour bamboo shoots, bean juice, moldy amaranth stalks, stinky tofu, stinky Mandarin fish, canned herring and other smelly food love, probably because "eating stink" has long been written in the genes of human ancestors.
