Allyl isothiocyanate
Allyl isothiocyanate is a volatile organic compound. Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) is a constituent of mustard, horseradish and wasabi and certain vegetables found in the human diet, mostly in cruciferous vegetables. AITC is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is slightly soluble in water, but soluble in most organic solvents. AITC possesses numerous biochemical and physiological activities. It is cytotoxic and tumorigenic at high doses and is also a modulator of enzymes involved in metabolism of xenobiotics, including carcinogens. It is plausible that the wide consumption of dietary AITC may have profound effects on human health. oxidative DNA damage may play important roles in carcinogenic processes induced by AITC. Allergic contact dermatitis from AICT is well known but infrequently reported. AITC is occasionally found as a volatile component of normal human biofluids. (PMID:5556886, 8222057, 8000299, 10754276, 15373848). Chief constituent of natural mustard oiland is also found in cooked cabbage, horseradish, etc. Flavouring ingredient.

Benzeneacetonitrile
Isolated from oil of garden cress (Lepidium sativum) and other plant oils. Benzeneacetonitrile is found in many foods, some of which are peppermint, garden tomato (variety), papaya, and kohlrabi. Benzeneacetonitrile is found in garden cress. Benzeneacetonitrile is isolated from oil of garden cress (Lepidium sativum) and other plant oils.
4-Isothiocyanato-1-butene
Chief volatile isothiocyanate of enzymically treated seeds of Brassica napus (rape) and other crucifers. Formed from 3-Butenyl glycosinolate
Dillenetin 5-glucoside-7-glucuronide
Benzyl cyanide
A nitrile that is acetonitrile where one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a phenyl group.
Mustardseed Oil
An isothiocyanate with the formula CH2=CHCH2N=C=S. A colorless oil with boiling point 152degreeC, it is responsible for the pungent taste of mustard, horseradish, and wasabi. D000074385 - Food Ingredients > D005503 - Food Additives > D005520 - Food Preservatives
