Chemical Information
FooDB NameEthyl isothiocyanate
DescriptionEthyl isothiocyanate, also known as eitc or isothiocyanic acid, ethyl ester, is a member of the class of compounds known as isothiocyanates. Isothiocyanates are organic compounds containing the isothiocyanate group, an isocyanate analogue with the general formula RN=C=S. Ethyl isothiocyanate is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Ethyl isothiocyanate is a garlic, mustard, and pungent tasting compound found in horseradish, which makes ethyl isothiocyanate a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
