Synergistic effect of combination of
phenethyl isothiocyanate and sulforaphane or curcumin and sulforaphane in the inhibition of inflammation.
Thanks to conversations with our advisor and respected green chemist, Terrence Collins, we opted for the use of
phenethyl alcohol to preserve the integrity of our ingredients.
Nasturtiin is the precursor
of phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), which slows or stops the phase I enzymes found in the liver.
In short, propolis contains compounds like flavanoids, caffeic acid, quercetin, naringenin, and caffeic
acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) that all help reduce the chronic inflammatory response, at least in mice and fruit flies.
Researchers looked closely at the chemical composition and found hundreds of beneficial natural compounds including polyphenols like caffeic acid
phenethyl ester, amino acids, coumarins, and even natural steroids.
Like rapini and other brassicas, cabbage contains organosulfur compounds
including phenethyl isothiocyanate and sulforaphane that have been shown to have potent antioxidant and anti-tumor properties.
The bottle I'm almost done with does not
contain phenethyl alcohol or phenoxyethanol but those two are now listed as ingredients.
When cruciferous vegetables are eaten, a compound and enzyme combine during the chewing process to
form phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC).
Konsue N and Ioannides C. Modulation of carcinogen - metabolising cytochromes P450 in human liver by the chemopreventive
phytochemical phenethyl isothiocyanate, a constituent of cruciferous vegetables.
Propolis has the highest antioxidant activity of any bee product due to its high levels of polyphenols, especially a component of propolis called caffein
acid phenethyl ester (CAPE).
«Effects
of phenethyl isothiocyanate, ellagic acid, sulindac and supplementary dietary calcium on the induction and progression of esophageal carcinogenesis in rats induced by short - term administration of N - nitrosomethylbenzylamine.»
Watercress is, like broccoli and kale, a cruciferous vegetable, and its major pest - deterring and health promoting glucosinolate is converted by the action of chewing insects and humans to
phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC).
In fact, researchers out of South Dakota State University recently discovered that
phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a compound found in cauliflower, broccoli, and the nutritional powerhouse featured in Alexa's recipe below — cabbage — may target cancer stem cells...
