Allyl Isothiocyanate
Allyl isothiocyanate is the volatile oil in mustard and is formed from the hydrolysis of sinigrin by the enzyme myrosin. Allyl isothiocyanate is extremely toxic and is a very powerful irritant that will blister skin. It has strong antimicrobial activity and, when diluted, is used as a counterirritant. Allyl isothiocyanate is used as a flavoring ingredient in many types of foods (e.g., frozen dairy products, meats, baked foods) but because of its toxicity, it is only used in very small amounts.
