PLANT PREPARATION CONTAINING PHENETHYLISOTHIOCYANATE

摘要

The present invention provides methods for obtaining phenethyl isothiocyanat e (PEITC), a natural glucosinylate derivative, from plant tissue. The methods involve selection of plant tissue naturally rich in PEITC, followed by aqueo us extraction under conditions that promote optimal release of PEITC from the tissue. The invention further provides plant preparations containing significant quantities of PEITC and nutraceutical formulations comprising these preparations.
