Metabolite Identification
Common NameBenzyl isothiocyanate
DescriptionBenzyl isothiocyanate, also known as benzylsenfoel or a-isothiocyanatotoluene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. Benzyl isothiocyanate has been detected, but not quantified in, garden cresses (Lepidium sativum) and horseradishes (Armoracia rusticana). This could make benzyl isothiocyanate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Benzyl isothiocyanate.
