The efficacy and function of mustard oil

I'm sure everyone has eaten oil. There are many types of oil, and their ingredients are also different. For example, soybean oil is made from soybeans, rapeseed oil is made from rapeseed, and so on. There are still certain differences between these. Some of their tastes are different, and they also have certain effects and functions. Mustard oil is one of them. So what are the effects and functions of mustard oil?

White radish contains natural mustard oil, which tastes spicy. It is usually hidden in the cells of the skin and flesh. So when you bite through the cell wall when eating radish raw, the mustard oil will make you feel spicy when it hits the taste nerves. The distribution of mustard oil in radish is very uneven, and generally the cortex contains more than the flesh. Therefore, the skin is spicier than the meat, and the closer to the tail, the more it contains, so the tail is spicier than the top. Mustard oil evaporates when exposed to high temperatures, so plants containing mustard oil will no longer be spicy after being cooked.

The amount of mustard oil in the plant varies depending on the plant variety and season. Mustard oil accumulates more during the growth and development of plants in summer and autumn. Mustard oil, also known as mustard essence, is a light yellow liquid obtained by high-temperature distillation of yellow mustard seeds. It has a very pungent taste and is an oil-melted product. In this article, let us understand the benefits and uses of mustard oil.

The mustard oil and glycosides in white radish can work with a variety of enzymes to form anti-cancer components; mustard oil can promote the metabolism of fat in the human body, thereby preventing the accumulation of fat under the skin.

Although mustard oil can fight cancer, its negative effects on human health after excessive intake cannot be ignored. Wang Yuedan pointed out that in fact, mustard oil is a toxin commonly contained in cruciferous vegetables such as radish, cabbage and rapeseed. If the human body consumes too much, it may cause symptoms such as thyroid enlargement, metabolic disorders, poisoning, and even death. If animals consume plants rich in mustard oil, such as rapeseed, for a long time, it can cause hemolytic anemia in sheep, also known as cabbage anemia or red water disease; it can cause thyroid dysfunction and even growth stagnation in pigs, cattle and chickens.

Mustard oil evaporates easily when exposed to high temperatures, so plants containing mustard oil will no longer be spicy after being cooked, and there is no need to worry about possible poisoning caused by mustard oil.
