More to the point, they have great chemistry, bursting with isothiocyanates that stimulate the body's protective detoxification mechanisms.
42.
Radishes owe their sharp flavor to the various chemical compounds produced by the plants, including glucosinolate, myrosinase, and isothiocyanate.
43.
As for other glucosinolates, degradation by the enzyme myrosinase is expected to produce an isothiocyanate, indol-3-ylmethylisothiocyanate.
44.
Metam sodium can be prepared from methylamine, carbon disulfide, and sodium hydroxide; or from methyl isothiocyanate and sodium thiolate.
45.
Mustard flour is diluted with hot water in Russia, resulting in more efficient allyl isothiocyanate production and thus a sharper taste.
46.
The decomposition of dazomet releases methyl isothiocyanate ( MITC ) a gas toxic to pests that would prevent or kill plant growth.
47.
How it works : Horseradish is loaded with isothiocyanates, pytochemicals which stimulate the lung membranes and nasal passages to break up congestion.
48.
Research has shown that such isothiocyanates inhibit microbe growth, perhaps with implications for preserving food against spoilage and suppressing oral bacterial growth.
49.
The concentrations of different glucosinolates in mustard plant varieties, and the different isothiocyanates that are produced, make different flavors and intensities.
50.
Both New York-based companies said the trace amounts of the chemical, methyl isothiocyanate or MITC, were not enough to injure smokers.
