DESCRIPTION

Plant Profile
Brassica alba also known as yellow mustard, is a robust annual herb. It belongs to the Brassicaceae family. It typically reach heights of 30 to 100 cm. The plant is characterized by its stiff stem and bristly hairs. The flowers are bright yellow and have four-petals. The leaves are deeply lobed and lyrate in shape. Its defining feature is the silique, a bristly seed pod with a distinct, sword-shaped beak. Each pod containing roughly 4 to 8 seeds. These seeds are spherical. They are approximately 2 mm in diameter, and range in color from pale beige to golden yellow. Geographically, yellow mustard is native to the Mediterranean region. But its high adaptability has led to its naturalization across Europe, North Africa, and Central Asia. Today, it is cultivated extensively as a global spice and cover crop. In India, major commercial production occurs in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Punjab, and Haryana.

Healthcare Perspective
In Ayurveda, Brassica alba referred to as Shweta Sarshapa. It is valued for its "heating" and "penetrating" qualities. In the Ayurvedic framework, it is mainly used to balance Kapha and Vata doshas. It has a pungent taste (Katu Rasa) and hot potency (Virya). They are believed to stimulate the digestive fire (Agni) and clear stagnation. Historically, practitioners have utilized it to address respiratory congestion, digestive sluggishness, and various skin conditions. In India, it has been used as a common kitchen spice for centuries.

Phytochemical Composition
The chemical profile of Brassica alba seeds has a high concentration of sulfur-containing compounds. The seeds also contain nutrient-dense lipids. The primary active constituent is sinalbin, a specific glucosinolate. When the seeds are crushed and exposed to water, sinalbin is hydrolyzed by the endogenous enzyme myrosinase. It then produces 4-hydroxybenzyl isothiocyanate. This compound responsible for the seeds' characteristic heat. Additionally, the seeds contain 25–35% fixed oils. These oils are rich in erucic acid, oleic acid. They aslo provide omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Other key secondary metabolites are also present. These include sinapine (a choline ester of sinapic acid), phenolic acids. Phenolic acids with antioxidant properties, and a significant mucilage content (up to 5%).
