Gray mustard (Sarepta mustard, Indian mustard), Brassica juncea (L.), Czern. reference Information The birthplace of blue mustard is Eastern China, where this cultivated plant was obtained by selecting the best forms from the "savages". From China, it moved to India, where one of the primary centers of cultivation of this crop is located. Currently, in addition to India, it is cultivated in China, Egypt, and a number of other countries. At present, Sarepta mustard is a common oilseed crop from plants of the Cabbage (Cruciferous) family, it ranks fourth after sunflower, soybean and oil flax. The average seed yield is 1,2-1,5 t/ha, high - 1,5-2,0 t/ha. The seeds contain 23-47% oil (iodine number 92-119). After heating, the oil has a high taste value and is used in the confectionery and baking industries for the preparation of pastry, in the canning, margarine, soap and pharmaceutical industries. Essential oils obtained from seeds are used in cosmetics and perfumery. When processing mustard seeds, about 95% of the mass turns out to be useful products. From 100 kg of mustard seeds of medium standard quality can be obtained (kg): edible mustard oil - 23-24, mustard oil for the production of mustard ester - 5, cake for the production of mustard powder - 50, cake for livestock feed - 15, husk for fuel - 2,5. The oil is obtained by pressing or extraction. Good oil properties are obtained by cold pressing. During hot pressing, mustard essential oil (0,1-1,7%) and sinigrin glycoside, which has a pungent odor and an unpleasant taste, pass into the oil. Powder is prepared from the cake to obtain table mustard and mustard plasters. According to experts, the composition of edible oil should contain at least 80% oleic and linoleic acids, no more than 4% linolenic and from 5 to 15% palmitic and stearic, but erucic and eicosenoic acids should be completely absent.

Mustard. Legends, the birthplace of the plant, the history of distribution If you have a bad cold and the cough does not subside, your mother puts mustard plasters for you. They are burning, unpleasant, but useful - they "expel" cough from the chest. Hot and table mustard, which is served for dinner. And besides, it's bitter. They didn't call it mustard for nothing. But the mustard oil that is sold in the store is not at all hot and not bitter. On the contrary, sweet and fragrant. Many housewives prefer to cook food in this oil. In the bakery you can buy amazingly tasty, rich and fragrant bread. It is not white in color, but yellowish. It is baked from ordinary wheat flour, and looks yellow because mustard oil was added to the dough. What's the matter? Maybe mustard plasters and mustard oil are prepared from different plants? No, from the same thing - from Sarepta mustard. On the southern outskirts of Volgograd there is a railway station Sarepta. Near it, for the first time in Russia, mustard fields turned green. It happened two hundred years ago. Sarepta and gave her name to the mustard. In the neighborhood of mustard fields in 1810 a small factory grew up. Small brown seeds, ripened in thin mustard pods, were brought here from all around in bags. The factory building has survived to this day. Here today they make mustard plasters, which are distributed throughout the country. Now you know where the "burning leaves" come from. What about mustard oil? From there. Before making mustard plasters, the seeds are placed under the press. A dark golden liquid flows from it in a thin stream. This is the mustard oil, which is respected by bakers, confectioners and perfumers. The rest of the seeds - cake - are sent to a neighboring workshop. There, the cake is dried and ground into powder. So he goes to bitter products - to table mustard and mustard plasters. Author: Osipov N.F.
