Sinalbin is a glucosinolate found in the seeds of white mustard, Sinapis alba, and in many wild plant species. In contrast to mustard from black mustard ( Brassica nigra) seeds which contain sinigrin, mustard from white mustard seeds has only a weakly pungent taste. [1]

Sinalbin is metabolised to form the mustard oil 4-hydroxybenzyl isothiocyanate by the enzyme myrosinase. The less sharp taste of white mustard is because 4-hydroxybenzyl isothiocyanate is unstable and degrades to 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and a thiocyanate ion, which are not pungent. The half-life of the isothiocyanate depends on the pH of the solution – the longest time is 321 minutes at pH 3, and the shortest is 6 minutes at pH 6.5. [2] Glucobrassicin is a structurally related glucosinolate that likewise yields a non-pungent isothiocyanate due to reaction with water.
