  • Extraction of non-polar isothiocyanates from plants
    Patent number: 6824796
    Abstract: A method of extracting non-polar isothiocyanates from a plant includes providing fresh or dehydrated plant material that contains at least one glucosinolate that will form a corresponding non-polar isothiocyanate, and endogenous myrosinase enzyme. Water is added to the plant material and milled, and oil is added thereafter to the water and plant mixture. This mixture is then homogenized after which the oil phase is separated from water phase and solids, such that the non-polar isothiocyanate(s) partition into the oil phase. A stable composition made according to the method includes at least one non-polar isothiocyanate and a vegetable oil. A dietary supplement may be formulated from the stable composition.
