What is Horseradish Extract?

Horseradish root extract is a potent, concentrated form of the bioactive compounds found in the horseradish plant (Armoracia rusticana). It's far more than just a spicy condiment; it's a well-researched phytochemical powerhouse used in food, medicine, and industry.

Primary Uses & Applications of Horseradish Extract:

1. Culinary & Food Industry:
Condiment Base: The core ingredient in prepared horseradish sauces.
Natural Preservative & Flavoring: AITC's antimicrobial properties help inhibit spoilage bacteria (like E. coli and Listeria), making it a natural preservative in some foods and salads.
Mustard Production: Often used alongside mustard seeds to enhance pungency.

2. Dietary Supplements & Traditional Medicine:
 Sinus & Respiratory Support: Its pungent vapors are classic decongestants. Inhaling AITC can trigger a reflex that helps clear sinus passages (the "horseradish reaction").
Urinary Tract Health: Often combined with other herbs like nasturtium in "sinus and bladder" formulas. Its antimicrobial properties may support urinary tract health.
Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory Effects: The isothiocyanates are potent antioxidants and may help modulate inflammatory pathways.
Digestive Stimulant: Used in small amounts in bitters and herbal tonics to stimulate digestion and bile flow.
