Current research highlights T. majus as a "functional food" with several health-promoting properties:
The predominant compound is glucotropaeolin . When the plant tissue is damaged (e.g., through chewing), the enzyme myrosinase hydrolyzes this into benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) , a potent bioactive agent.
