How we scored it
Dried, ground plant tissue (n = 1) with no chemical modification; no reagent or solvent mass in the product. 1.0 / 1.0 = 1.00.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.
Where it comes from
Dominant route is drying and milling black mustard seeds to a powder with no chemical conversion. No commercially significant alternative route exists.
