  "abstract": "Scorodophloeus zenkeri is a tree endemic to Central Africa that gives off a garlic-like odour. Therefore, its bark, seeds and wood are commonly used as a condiment in traditional foods in Cameroon and Gabon. Moreover, the infusion of the stem bark of S. zenkeri is used in traditional medicine in Gabon as a laxative. In the present study, we report on the phytochemical analysis by both ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry of the infusion of S. zenkeri bark. We focused our investigation in negative ion mode on sulfinic, sulfonic, sulfinosulfanyl, thiosulfuric acid derivatives and organosulfur metabolites containing up to four sulfur atoms. Rules for the MS/MS fragmentation of these unusual molecules are proposed.",
