The volatile oil obtained after enzymatic hydrolysis is called mustard oil, which contains methyl, isopropyl, allyl, butyl, sec-butyl, butene-3-ester, pentene-4-ester, phenyl, benzyl, phenylethyl and 3-methylthiopropyl isothiocyanate. Fatty oils are glycerides of various fatty acids, and their fatty acids are erucic acid, eicosene-11-oic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, palmitic acid, arachidic acid, stearic acid, and behenic acid.

effect

Stimulating effect: Mustard contains sinigrin, which itself has no irritating effect, but when it comes into contact with water, it generates volatile oil through the action of myrosinase. The main component is allyl isothiocyanate, which has a pungent and spicy taste and stimulating effect. When applied to the skin, it can cause a warming sensation and redness, and may even cause blisters or pustules. Usually, the fat residue is removed from mustard powder and made into mustard plaster for use as an anti-irritant (when irritating drugs are used locally on the skin, their effects are not limited to the application site, but involve other parts. When a therapeutic effect is produced, it is called an anti-irritant effect) to treat neuralgia, rheumatism, pleurisy and sprains. Moisten it with lukewarm water before use to enhance the action of myrosinase (boiling water inhibits the action of myrosinase). The application time should not exceed 15 to 30 minutes. Those with sensitive skin can only apply it for 5 to 10 minutes. Mustard powder is used as a flavoring agent, which increases salivation and amylase activity and reduces heart volume and heart rate. Small amounts can stimulate the gastric mucosa to increase the secretion of gastric and pancreatic juice, and sometimes relieve stubborn hiccups. Taking a large amount orally can quickly induce vomiting and can be used to treat narcotic drug poisoning.
