The purpose of this work was to evaluate the transport of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) by means of the sorption mechanism and the diffusion of AITC through maize grains. The experimental procedure to study the sorption mechanism was conducted by injection of AITC in glass flasks containing the grains. Kinetic models of zero, first and second order were fitted to AITC concentration data, with the purpose of determining the sorption rate (k). For the study of diffusion, a prototype was utilized in which the components are a gas chamber and a cylindrical column in which the grains were stored. At the interval of 110 min, samples in the chamber and in the column were collected, which were immediately injected into the gas chromatograph. In order to determine the effective diffusion coefficient (Def) of AITC through maize grains, the term referring to the sorption rate was added to the diffusion equation. The kinetic model of the first order was the one that best fitted the experimental data for the sorption mechanism, and k was 6.26 x 10-4 s-1. The Def of AITC through grains was 7.2 x 10-3 cm² s-1. It was concluded that the transport of AITC through maize grains is slow, due to the low value of Def and high sorption rate of this component by the grains. Neste trabalho o propósito foi avaliar o transporte do isotiocianato alilo (AITC), por meio do estudo do mecanismo de sorção e da difusão do AITC, nos grãos de milho. O procedimento experimental para o estudo da sorção foi conduzido pela injeção de AITC em frascos de vidro contendo os grãos. Modelos cinéticos de ordem zero, de primeira e de segunda ordem, foram ajustados aos dados de concentração do AITC com a finalidade de determinar a taxa de sorção (k). Para o estudo da difusão utilizou-se um protótipo em que os componentes são uma câmara de gás e uma coluna cilíndrica, para contenção dos grãos. A cada 110 min amostras na câmara e na coluna foram coletadas e imediatamente injetadas no cromatógrafo a gás. Para determinar o valor do coeficiente efetivo de difusão (Def) do AITC através de grãos de milho adicionou-se, à equação de difusão, o termo referente à taxa de sorção. O modelo cinético, foi o de primeira ordem e k foi 6,26 x 10-4 s-1. O Def do AITC através dos grãos, foi de 7,2 x 10-3 cm² s-1. Concluiu-se que o transporte do AITC por meio dos grãos de milho é lento devido ao baixo valor do Def e à elevada taxa de sorção deste componente pelos grãos
