(57-06-7 )is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong pungent odor. It is often extracted from cruciferous plants such as mustard and horseradish, and can also be prepared by chemical synthesis. Its characteristic pungent smell is the core source of the flavor of mustard and horseradish.
In the field of flavors and fragrances, it is a key raw material for formulating spicy flavors and mustard-type essences. It can endow foods such as pickles, canned meats, seasoning sauces, and compound seasonings with a rich spicy flavor, restore the unique taste of natural spices, and enhance the flavor layers of foods.
In addition, due to its certain biological activity, it can also be used as a fumigant, widely applied in insect and mildew prevention of grains and stored goods. At the same time, it can be used as a natural plant-derived pesticide ingredient in the agricultural field. It has both flavor-endowing and practical functions, and is an important chemical in the food industry and storage protection field.Such as respiratory protection masks, protective gloves, etc.
Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) has diverse applications across industries. Primarily, it’s widely used in the food sector to impart a pungent, sharp flavor—key in mustard sauces, horseradish pastes, and spicy snacks like flavored chips or pickled products.
In agriculture, it acts as a natural insecticide and fungicide, effective against soil-borne pests and pathogens, supporting eco-friendly crop protection.
Industrially, it serves as a fumigant for stored grains to prevent mold and infestations, and as a chemical intermediate in synthesizing pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals. Note: Its strong irritancy requires controlled use in all applications.
Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) dosage varies by application. In food (mustard, spicy snacks) as a flavoring, it’s ultra-low at 0.1-10 ppm to avoid excessive pungency. For agricultural soil pest control, it’s usually 10-100 mg/kg soil. Owing to its strong irritancy, all uses must follow safety standards, with precise dosing essential to prevent hazards.
