Mustard Oil are derived from the seeds of Brassica nigra and B.juncea. They contain about 30% fixed oil, 20% proteins and 0.5 to 0.9 % of volatile oil. Allylisothiocynate is the principal constituent, which does not occur in these plants as such, but in the form of glucoside, viz. sinigrin which in presence of water and a ferment, viz. myrosinase, is hydrolysed to allylisothiocynate. Allylisothiocynate is also called the essence of mustard. It is a powerful vesicant and irritant. Being a powerful rubefacient, it forms the active ingredient in mustard plasters and other medicinal preparations. Oil of mustard is also widely used in flavouring of all kinds of food products.
