Novel Gram-Scale Production of Enantiopure R-Sulforaphane from Tuscan Black Kale Seeds

open access: yesMolecules, 2014
Dietary R-sulforaphane is a highly potent inducer of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway. Furthermore, sulforaphane is currently being used in clinical trials to assess its effects against different tumour processes. This study reports an efficient preparation of

Thermosonication of Broccoli Florets Prior to Fermentation Increases Bioactive Components in Fermented Broccoli Puree

open access: yesFermentation, 2022
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of thermosonication (18 kHz at 60 °C for 7 min) pre-treatment with thermal treatment alone (60 °C for 7 min) of broccoli florets prior to pureeing and fermentation on selected bioactive components of ...

Direct quantitation of glucoraphanin in dog and rat plasma by LC–MS/MS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, 2010
A rapid method to quantify levels of the beta-thioglycoside N-hydroxyl sulfate, glucoraphanin, in dog and rat plasma to support pre-clinical toxicological and pharmacological studies has been developed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

The Challenges of Designing and Implementing Clinical Trials With Broccoli Sprouts… and Turning Evidence Into Public Health Action

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2021
Broccoli sprouts are a convenient and rich source of the glucosinolate glucoraphanin, which can generate the chemopreventive agent sulforaphane through the catalytic actions of plant myrosinase or β-thioglucosidases in the gut microflora.

Broccoli or Sulforaphane: Is It the Source or Dose That Matters?

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
There is robust epidemiological evidence for the beneficial effects of broccoli consumption on health, many of them clearly mediated by the isothiocyanate sulforaphane.

Exogenous Melatonin Promotes Glucoraphanin Biosynthesis by Mediating Glutathione in Hairy Roots of Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica Planch)

open access: yesPlants, 2023
To investigate the mechanism of melatonin (MT)-mediated glutathione (GSH) in promoting glucoraphanin (GRA) and sulforaphane (SF) synthesis, the gene expression pattern and protein content of hairy broccoli roots under MT treatment were analyzed by a ...

Selenium biofortification: integrating one health and sustainability. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Sci Food Agric
Abstract Selenium (Se) biofortification in crops has emerged as a promising strategy to address global Se deficiencies and enhance both agricultural productivity and human health. Increasing the Se content of crops through biofortification improves their resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses and boosts their nutritional value.

Effect of zinc fertilisation on yield and selected qualitative parameters of broccoli

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2017
Three treatments were used in two-year (2014-2015) field experiments with broccoli cv. Bejo 2914 F1: (1) untreated control; (2) Zn0.75 - Zinkuran SC as foliar fertiliser at the rate of 0.75 L/ha (375 g Zn/ha); (3) Zn1.50 - Zinkuran SC as foliar ...

Transport engineering as a strategy to realize rapeseed's potential as a protein‐rich food

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The heavily pesticide‐dependent rapeseed is an under‐utilized protein source for food owing to anti‐nutritional glucosinolates. Transport engineering technology may reduce glucosinolates in seeds while increasing defense in vegetative parts. Abstract Rapeseed is the world's second‐largest oilseed crop, and the low‐value press cake that remains after ...

Similarity of bioactivity between purified and semipurified glucoraphanin

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2007
The anti‐carcinogenic effects of cruciferous vegetables have been attributed to the hydrolysis products of glucosinolates; the primary glucosinolate in broccoli is glucoraphanin (GP). In this study, the goal was to determine if purified GP, in the absence of the plant‐derived hydrolyzing enzyme myrosinase, could affect pulmonary or hepatic ...
