Methyl isothiocyanate, also known as methyl mustard or trapex, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as isothiocyanates. These are organic compounds containing the isothiocyanate group, an isocyanate analogue with the general formula RN=C=S. Methyl isothiocyanate is a horseradish, mustard, and pungent tasting compound. Methyl isothiocyanate has been detected, but not quantified, in cabbages and horseradish. This could make methyl isothiocyanate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Methyl isothiocyanate is a potentially toxic compound. Isolated from mustard oil, present as glucoside (Methyl glucosinolate LBB66-Y). Methyl isothiocyanate is found in horseradish.

Methyl thiocyanate, also known as ch3scn or mescn, is a member of the class of compounds known as thiocyanates. Thiocyanates are salts or esters of thiocyanic acid, with the general formula RSC#N (R=alkyl, aryl). Methyl thiocyanate is a sulfur tasting compound found in papaya, which makes methyl thiocyanate a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Methyl thiocyanate is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. Methyl thiocyanate is an organic compound with the formula CH3SCN. It is a colourless liquid with an onion-like odor. It is produced by the methylation of thiocyanate salts. The compound is a precursor to the more useful isomer methyl isothiocyanate (CH3NCS) . Antidotes to cyanide poisoning include hydroxocobalamin and sodium nitrite, which release the cyanide from the cytochrome system, and rhodanase, which is an enzyme occurring naturally in mammals that combines serum cyanide with thiosulfate, producing comparatively harmless thiocyanate. Oxygen therapy can also be administered (L97) (T3DB).
