Supplementation of the diet by exogenous myrosinase via mustard seeds to increase the bioavailability of sulforaphane in healthy human subjects after the consumption of cooked broccoli [PDF]
Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2018 Broccoli contains the glucosinolate glucoraphanin which, in the presence of myrosinase, can hydrolyse to the isothiocyanate sulforaphane, reported to have anti-carcinogenic activity. However, the myrosinase enzyme is denatured on cooking.

A Comprehensive Review of Germination Impact on Moringa Seeds and Sprouts: Physiological and Biochemical Changes, Bioactive Compounds, Health Benefits, and Food Applications. [PDF]
Compr Rev Food Sci Food SafABSTRACT 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

Analysis of Different Parts of Broccoli (<i>Brassica oleracea</i> var. <i>italica</i>) Leaves and Retention of Functional Compounds Under Different Cooking Methods. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrThis research examines the potential of broccoli leaves, which are often overlooked as a vegetable by‐product, as a functional food ingredient. The study involved phytochemical profiling and an analysis of antioxidant activity across various leaf parts and cooking methods.

Glucosinolate Biosynthesis and the Glucosinolate–Myrosinase System in Plant Defense [PDF]
Agronomy, 2020 Insect pests represent a major global challenge to important agricultural crops. Insecticides are often applied to combat such pests, but their use has caused additional challenges such as environmental contamination and human health issues.

Glucosinolates, a natural chemical arsenal: More to tell than the myrosinase story
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Glucosinolates are a group of thioglucosides that belong to the class of plant nitrogen-containing natural products. So far, very little biological activity has been associated with intact glucosinolates.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Glucosinolates are an important class of secondary metabolites in Brassicales plants with a critical role in chemical defense. Glucosinolates are chemically inactive but can be hydrolyzed by myrosinases to produce a range of chemically active compounds ...

Microorganisms—An Effective Tool to Intensify the Utilization of Sulforaphane
Foods, 2022 Sulforaphane (SFN) was generated by the hydrolysis of glucoraphanin under the action of myrosinase. However, due to the instability of SFN, the bioavailability of SFN was limited. Meanwhile, the gut flora obtained the ability to synthesize myrosinase and

Arabidopsis myrosinases link the glucosinolate-myrosinase system and the cuticle [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractBoth physical barriers and reactive phytochemicals represent two important components of a plant’s defence system against environmental stress. However, these two defence systems have generally been studied independently. Here, we have taken an exclusive opportunity to investigate the connection between a chemical-based plant defence system ...

Enhanced production of sulforaphane by exogenous glucoraphanin hydrolysis catalyzed by myrosinase extracted from Chinese flowering cabbage (Brassica rapa var. parachinensis) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 Sulforaphane formation via endogenous route is known to be less effective. Exogenous hydrolysis of the sulforaphane precursor is therefore of interest.
