Use Case

Tier II MITC-enriched ingredient for mustard-family pungency applications, soil fumigation-inspired flavor analogues in culinary contexts, and TRPA1-targeted sensory activation in savory and fermented food formats. Designed for flavor manufacturers requiring consistent MITC yield from a stabilized White Mustard platform independent of seasonal precursor variability.
