Epidemiological and experimental researches show that isothiocyanate (ITC), a class of phytochemical
compounds that imparts a characteristic biting taste and pungent odour to cruciferous vegetables, such
as daikon (Japanese white radish, Raphanus sativus L. Daikon Group), broccoli, cabbage, and Chinese cabbage,
possesses anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. The concentration of daikon ITC, which
degrades in aqueous solution, was measured in mixtures of daikon juice and water, corn oil, or milk. Daikon
juice mixed with corn oil or milk showed a higher concentration (1.4-fold) of daikon ITC than that in
mixture with water; thus, corn oil and milk prevent the degradation of daikon ITC. Moreover, orally
administered daikon juice with milk increased daikon ITC absorption in rats. Therefore, dishes or drinks
that include raw daikon with corn oil or milk may promote the possible health benefits of daikon ITC by
preventing ITC degradation and enhancing its absorption in vivo
