different between myrosinase vs glycosinolate

English

myrosin +? -ase

myrosinase (plural myrosinases)

(biochemistry) Any of several defense-related enzymes, in plants such as mustard, that hydrolyze glycosides, thus releasing potentially toxic substances.

glycosinolate (plural glycosinolates)

(biochemistry) Any of a family of toxic nitrogen-containing sugar sulfates found in all brassicas and many related plants. In the presence of myrosinases, they produce the isothiocyanates responsible for the pungent bite in the flavor of these plants.
