Chemical Information
FooDB Name1-Isothiocyanatobutane
Description1-Isothiocyanatobutane, also known as BITC or buncs, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as isothiocyanates. These are organic compounds containing the isothiocyanate group, an isocyanate analogue with the general formula RN=C=S. 1-Isothiocyanatobutane is a citrus, earthy, and fatty tasting compound. 1-Isothiocyanatobutane is found, on average, in the highest concentration within horseradishes (Armoracia rusticana). 1-Isothiocyanatobutane has also been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as brassicas, cabbages (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), and cauliflowers (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis). This could make 1-isothiocyanatobutane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on 1-Isothiocyanatobutane.
