The characteristic smell of mustard comes primarily from compounds known as glucosinolates, which are sulfur-containing compounds. When mustard seeds are crushed and mixed with water, an enzyme called myrosinase is activated, converting glucosinolates into various volatile compounds, including allyl isothiocyanate. This compound is responsible for the pungent aroma and flavor associated with mustard.
