While the myrosinase–glucosinolate system has been reviewed in recent years by a number
of authors, little attention has been paid to the enzymic and non-enzymic degradation of …

The activity of endogenous deteriorative enzymes together with microbial growth (with
associated enzymatic activity) and/or other non-enzymatic (usually oxidative) reactions …

Mustard is a plant that is eagerly cultivated by farmers, due to its mobility across agroclimatic
conditions and its high yield. Mustard seeds have thus become a valuable source of many …

Traditionally, Brassica species are widely used in traditional medicine, human food, and
animal feed. Recently, special attention has been dedicated to Brassica seeds as source of …

Glucosinolate–myrosinase is a substrate-enzyme defense mechanism present in Brassica
crops. This binary system provides the plant with an efficient system against herbivores and …

Consumption of glucosinolate-rich Brassicales vegetables is associated with a decreased
risk of cancer with enzymatic hydrolysis of glucosinolates playing a key role. However …

The formation of health‐beneficial isothiocyanates (ITCs) from glucosinolates depends on a
wide variety of plant‐intrinsic factors (eg, concentration of glucosinolates, activity of …

The Brassicaceae plant family contains high concentrations of glucosinolates, which can be
hydrolyzed by myrosinase yielding products having an anticarcinogenic activity. The …

The isothiocyanate sulforaphane (SF) is one of the most potent naturally occurring Phase 2
enzymes inducers derived from brassica vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts …

Sulforaphane is a type of sulfur-containing isothiocyanates hydrolyzed from glucosinolates
by myrosinase found in Brassica plants. Sulforaphane is a naturally occurring inducer of …
