    Such a triglyceride has a high iodine value (approx. 119). Below, the reaction product after the addition of four equivalents of iodine or bromine to the four C=C double bonds of the unsaturated fatty acid residues. The determination of iodine value is a particular example of iodometry. A solution of iodine I 2 is yellow/brown in color.

  4. Glucosinolate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucosinolate

    The plants contain the enzyme myrosinase, which, in the presence of water, cleaves off the glucose group from a glucosinolate. [11] The remaining molecule then quickly converts to an isothiocyanate, a nitrile, or a thiocyanate; these are the active substances that serve as defense for the plant. Glucosinolates are also called mustard oil ...
