ABSTRACT Germination is emerging as a promising bioprocess to produce edible moringa sprouts with enhanced nutritional value and health benefits. Germinated moringa seeds could be marketed as a novel food ingredient for functional food formulations. Attempts to understand the bioactive compounds and their associated health benefits of moringa seeds and

Maximization of Sulforaphane Content in Broccoli Sprouts by Blanching
Broccoli sprouts are a recognized source of health-promoting compounds, such as glucosinolates, glucoraphanin, and sulforaphane (SFN). Maximization of SFN content can be achieved by technological processing.

Changes in rocket salad phytochemicals within the commercial supply chain: glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, amino acids and bacterial load increase significantly after processing [PDF]
Five cultivars of Eruca sativa and a commercial variety of Diplotaxis tenuifolia were grown in the UK (summer) and subjected to commercial growth, harvesting and processing, with subsequent shelf life storage. Glucosinolates (GSL), isothiocyanates (ITC),

Assessment of genetically modified oilseed rape LBFLFK (application EFSA‐GMO‐DE‐2019‐157)
Abstract Application EFSA‐GMO‐DE‐2019‐157 (oilseed rape LBFLFK) was submitted to EFSA to be risk assessed as full‐scope, i.e. for import, processing, and food and feed uses, within the EU. Oilseed rape LBFLFK was developed to alter its fatty acid profile and to confer tolerance to imidazolinone herbicides.

Essential Role of Keap1-Nrf2 Signaling in Mood Disorders: Overview and Future Perspective
Depression is one of the most common mood disorders with a high rate of relapse. Accumulating evidence suggests that the transcription factor Kelch-like erythroid cell-derived protein with CNC homology (ECH)-associated protein 1 (Keap1)-Nuclear factor ...
