Usage

General Description

2-METHYLBUTYL ISOTHIOCYANATE is a chemical compound that belongs to the isothiocyanate family. It is primarily found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, and mustard greens. 2-METHYLBUTYL ISOTHIOCYANATE is responsible for the pungent odor and taste characteristic of these vegetables. 2-METHYLBUTYL ISOTHIOCYANATE has been studied for its potential health benefits, including its anti-cancer and antimicrobial properties. It is also used in the food industry as a flavoring agent and preservative due to its strong and distinctive taste. However, it should be handled and consumed in small amounts as high levels of isothiocyanates have been associated with potential toxic effects.
