Calcium affects glucoraphanin metabolism in broccoli sprouts under ZnSO4 stress

Food Chemistry, 2021
CaCl2, Ca2+ chelator (EGTA) and Ca2+ channel blocker (verapamil) were used to investigate mechanism of glucoraphanin metabolism in broccoli sprouts under ZnSO4 stress. CaCl2 treatment promoted sprout growth, reduced MDA (malonaldehyde) content and electrolyte leakage in sprouts under ZnSO4 stress.

Targeting Cancer Stem Cells with Sulforaphane, A Dietary Component from Broccoli and Broccoli Sprouts

Future Oncology, 2013
Many studies have supported the protective effects of broccoli and broccoli sprouts against cancer. The chemopreventive properties of sulforaphane, which is derived from the principal glucosinolate of broccoli and broccoli sprouts, have been extensively studied. Recent research into the effects of sulforaphane on cancer stem cells (CSCs) has drawn lots

Interplay of broccoli/broccoli sprout bioactives with gut microbiota in reducing inflammation in inflammatory bowel diseases

The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 2023
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) are chronic, reoccurring, and debilitating conditions characterized by inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, some of which can lead to more systemic complications and can include autoimmune dysfunction, a change in the taxonomic and functional structure of microbial communities in the gut, and complicated burdens

Glucosinolate and folate content in sprouted broccoli seeds

European Food Research and Technology, 2007
HPLC analysis of broccoli seeds and laboratory-grown broccoli sprouts revealed that three aliphatic glucosinolates (glucoraphanin, glucoiberin and glucoerucin) and a group of indol-glucosinolates including 4-hydroxy-glucobrassicin are preformed in the seeds. In the early stage of sprouting a reduction (approx.

GLUCOSINOLATE CHANGES IN BLANCHED BROCCOLI and BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, 1989
Three major glucosinolates in broccoli, i.e., glucoiberin, glucoraphanin, and glucobrassicin were greatly reduced by both water and steam blanching. Water blanching produced the most significant glucosinolate loss. Blanched brussels sprouts did not exhibit this significant reduction of glucosinolates.

Glucoraphanin and sulforaphane evolution during juice preparation from broccoli sprouts

Food Chemistry, 2018
Broccoli sprouts are considered functional food as they are naturally enriched in glucoraphanin (GR) that is the biological precursor of the anticancer compound sulforaphane (SFN). Due to its health promoting value, also broccoli sprout juice is becoming very popular.

Physiological and Biochemical Metabolism of Germinating Broccoli Seeds and Sprouts

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2011
Changes in physiological and biochemical metabolism as well as glucoraphanin and sulforaphane contents of germinating broccoli seeds and sprouts were investigated in this study. Sprout length, root length, and fresh weight increased with germination time. Dry weight varied from 2.5 to 3.0 mg per sprout.

Quantitative determination of intact glucosinolates in broccoli, broccoli sprouts, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower by high-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–tandem mass spectrometry

Analytical Biochemistry, 2005
Many methods have been proposed to analyze glucosinolates, a class of phytochemicals whose breakdown products are thought to be responsible for an improvement in health; however, few are quantitative and many are time consuming. A selective and sensitive quantitative method for direct determination of intact glucosinolates was developed using liquid ...
