Abstract
Mustard (Brassica spp.) is an annual oilseed crop that is widely cultivated in Asia and
Europe for both culinary and medicinal purposes. It is a rich source of valuable nutritive and
non-nutritive bioactive compounds which have gained importance for their pharmacological activities
in recent years owing to increased attention towards achieving sustainable development
goal of good health and wellbeing. The presence of traditional antinutrient factors like glucosinolates
sustainable source of affordable nutraceuticals. The major bioactive components in mustard
are glucosinolates (sinigrin and sinalbin) and its sulphur-rich degradation products (isothiocyanates),
phenolic compounds, phytic acid and various phytosterols. These compounds possess
specific activities like antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, antimicrobial, antiobesity
as well as anti-depressant activity. Nutraceutical products like food supplements can be
formulated by extracting these compounds which possess desirable properties and thus allow
maximum use of the plant.
