Glucoraphanin Level in Broccoli Seed is Largely Determined by Genotype [PDF]
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
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.

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

Enhancement of glucosinolate and isothiocyanate profiles in brassicaceae crops: addressing challenges in breeding for cultivation, storage, and consumer-related traits [PDF]
Glucosinolates (GSLs) and isothiocyanates (ITCs) produced by Brassicaceae plants are popular targets for analysis due to the health benefits associated with them. Breeders aim to increase the concentrations in commercial varieties; however, there are few

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