👉 The term "thiocyanide" is a chemical compound that consists of one thiol (a group of three atoms) and one cyanide ion. Thiocyanides are typically used as antioxidants, which means they act as a neutralizing agent to prevent oxidation reactions in the body or environment. They can be found naturally in plants, animals, and even in food products such as tea. In biochemistry, thiocyanidases catalyze the conversion of thiocyanates
