  "term": "Isothiocyanates",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Organic compounds characterized by the functional group -N=C=S, where a nitrogen atom is double-bonded to a carbon atom, which is also double-bonded to a sulfur atom. These compounds are structurally similar to isocyanates but with sulfur replacing oxygen. Many naturally occurring isothiocyanates are found in cruciferous vegetables.",
