Accumulation of Dietary S-Methyl Cysteine Sulfoxide in Human Prostate Tissue [PDF]
, 2019 Scope: Observational studies have associated consumption of cruciferous vegetables with reduced risk of prostate cancer. This effect has been associated with the degradation products of glucosinolates—thioglycosides that accumulate within crucifers.

Glucoraphanin Level in Broccoli Seed is Largely Determined by Genotype [PDF]
HortScience, 2005 Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L., Italica Group) seed and resulting sprouts can contain high levels of glucoraphanin, a glucosinolate, which can be converted to sulforaphane, a compound with cancer protective and antioxidant properties. This observation has stimulated interest in broccoli seed production.

Purification of a Sinapine-Glucoraphanin Salt from Broccoli Seeds
American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2010 A sinapine (sinapoylcholine)-glucoraphanin salt has been isolated from broccoli seeds and characterized by NMR and mass spectrometry. This salt extraction method can be used to purify glucoraphanin free from contamination by glucoiberin.

Changes in rocket salad phytochemicals within the commercial supply chain: glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, amino acids and bacterial load increase significantly after processing [PDF]
, 2016 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),

Microbiological Research, 2020 Glucoraphanin is a methionine-derived glucosinolate that imparts numerous health-benefits with broad bioactivity. Low amounts in plant tissues and high cost of extraction have limited the production of glucoraphanin. Metabolic engineering in heterologous microorganisms is an attractive approach to achieve efficient production of valuable natural ...
