Chemical Information
FooDB NameMethyl isothiocyanate
DescriptionMethyl isothiocyanate, also known as methyl mustard, 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 (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) and horseradishes (Armoracia rusticana). This could make methyl isothiocyanate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Methyl isothiocyanate.
