Mustard Seed Antimicrobial Properties

• One of the important ingredients of mustard seeds is SINIGRIN, which is responsible for its pungent taste. When mustard seeds are digested, it leads to the breakdown of sinigrin and the formation of a compound called allyl isothiocyanate (AITC). AITC has extensive antimicrobial properties that protect against bacterial strains.

• Sinalbin, which is in white mustard seed, It's a glucosinolate and breaks down into p-hydroxybenzyl isothiocyanate. It has been shown to have even more potent antimicrobial properties than sinigrin.

• Potent effects of AITC on the inhibition of enzymes that are essential for the metabolic activities of bacteria. This leads to membrane damage in bacteria and reduces harmful impact.

        Mustard Seed Antioxidant Effects

• Phenolic compounds that are widely present in mustard seeds are known for their antioxidant activity. These phenolic compounds react with free radicals in the body and inhibit harmful effects. Mustard seeds contain tocopherols, part of the vitamin E family, that are fat-soluble compounds and have antioxidant capabilities.

• The antioxidant activity of sinigrin helps reduce the production of nitric oxide, the chemical that is widely attributed to the formation of free radicals in the human body.

        Mustard Seed Anticancer Effect

• Sinigrin causes cancer cell death, although the exact mechanism of the anticancer activity of the glucosinolate derivative is still unclear.

• The inhibitory effect of sinigrin is due to its modifying effect on enzymes that lower the risk of DNA damage to the tissues that are targeted by cancer-causing agents.

        Mustard Seed May Enhance Healing Activity

• Sinigrin enhances wound healing when used in with lipid-based phytosomes. Phytosomes are lipid (fat) molecules that help enhance the impact of herb-based chemicals (such as sinigrin) by enhancing their absorption.
