Its pungent flavor is due to allyl isothiocyanate, a phytochemical of plants in the mustard family, Brassicaceae (for example, cabbage, horseradish or wasabi).. Mustard oil has about 60% monounsaturated fatty acids (42% erucic acid and 12% oleic acid); it has about 21% polyunsaturated fats (6% the omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid and 15% the omega-6 linoleic acid), and it has about 12% saturated fats.
The colorless oil is responsible for the pungent taste of cruciferous vegetables such as mustard, radish, horseradish, and wasabi. This pungency and the lachrymatory effect of AITC are mediated through the TRPA1 and TRPV1 ion channels. [1] [2] [3] It is slightly soluble in water, but more soluble in most organic solvents. [4]
Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana, syn. Cochlearia armoracia) is a perennial plant of the family Brassicaceae (which also includes mustard, wasabi, broccoli, cabbage, and radish). It is a root vegetable , cultivated and used worldwide as a spice and as a condiment .
Zesty horseradish sauce: In a small bowl, beat 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in 1/4 cup fresh grated horseradish root, 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Glucosinolates are also called mustard oil glycosides. The standard product of the reaction is the isothiocyanate (mustard oil); the other two products mainly occur in the presence of specialised plant proteins that alter the outcome of the reaction. [12] A mustard oil glycoside 1 is converted to an isothiocyanate 3 (mustard oil).
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a heavy flameproof Dutch oven and brown the meat in batches. Remove and set aside. Add the remaining oil to the pan and fry the vegetables until lightly colored, then pour in the barley. Add the stout and stir to deglaze the pan. Pour in 2¾ cups water, return the meat, and season.
[30] [31] [32] The same compound is responsible for the pungency of horseradish and mustard. Allyl isothiocyanate can also be released when the wasabi plants have been damaged because it is being used as a defense mechanism. [33] The sensory neural target of mustard oil is the chemosensory receptor, TRPA1, also known as the wasabi receptor. [34]
