Chemical Information
FooDB Name1-Isothiocyanato-2-phenylethane
Description1-Isothiocyanato-2-phenylethane, also known as b-phenethyl isothiocyanic acid or (2-isothiocyanatoethyl)benzene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. 1-Isothiocyanato-2-phenylethane is found, on average, in the highest concentration within kohlrabis (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes). 1-Isothiocyanato-2-phenylethane has also been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as horseradishes (Armoracia rusticana), turnips (Brassica rapa var. rapa), and watercresses (Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum). This could make 1-isothiocyanato-2-phenylethane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 1-Isothiocyanato-2-phenylethane.
