Mustard oil (mustard seed oil)
Mustard oil is a type of fatty oil obtained by squeezing the seeds of mustard, a plant of the Brassicaceae family. It can also refer to volatile mustard oil, which is obtained by crushing, steeping in hot water, and steam distilling the seeds, as well as its main component, isothiocyanate esters. Mustard oil is a semi-drying oil similar to rapeseed oil, and is obtained from black mustard or white mustard at about 30%. It contains saturated fatty acids with carbon numbers 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24, but palmitic acid with carbon number 16 is the highest at 2.6%.
