The effects of temperature and pressure processing on myrosinase extracted from fresh broccoli and brown mustard seed was studied. Brown mustard seeds had higher myrosinase activity (2.75 un/mL) than fresh broccoli (0.58 un/mL).

Distribution of Myrosinase in Rapeseed Tissues [PDF]
Immunocytochemical studies on Brassica napus (rapeseed) tissues using a monoclonal antibody against myrosinase (thioglucoside glucohydrolase) showed that the enzyme was only present in a small number of cells. In the developing embryo, scattered myrosinase-containing cells were present in both cotyledons and axis.

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

The study of Zn2+ and Cu2+ effects on myrosinase activity and sulforaphane production in Lepidium draba [PDF]
Myrosinase is a β-thioglucoside glucohydrolase enzyme which catalyzses the separation of glucose from glucosinolates and produces an unstable intermediate, aglycone.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation during in vitro and in vivo digestion of raw and cooked broccoli (brassica oleracea var. Italica) [PDF]
Broccoli is rich in glucosinolates, which can be converted upon chewing and processing into Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) ligands. Activation of AhR plays an important role in overall gut homeostasis but the role of broccoli processing on the ...

Immunological characterization of rapeseed myrosinase [PDF]
A purified 75‐kDa myrosinase and a crude rapeseed myrosinase fraction were used as antigens to produce mouse anti‐myrosinase monoclonal antibodies. The 75‐kDa myrosinase was also used to produce a polyclonal rabbit antiserum. The antiserum and one monoclonal antibody reacted with three distinct rapeseed polypeptides of 75, 70 and 65 kDa (M75, M70 and ...

Sulforaphane and other natural isothiocyanates released from the respective plant glucosinolates by the plant enzyme myrosinase (β-thioglucoside glucohydrolase) show extensive anticancer and antimicrobial effects.

Extended darkness induces internal turnover of glucosinolates in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves. [PDF]
Prolonged darkness leads to carbohydrate starvation, and as a consequence plants degrade proteins and lipids to oxidize amino acids and fatty acids as alternative substrates for mitochondrial ATP production.

The myrosinase enzyme hydrolyzes glucosinolates, among which is glucoraphanin, the precursor of the anticancer isothiocyanate sulforaphane (SFN). The main source of glucoraphanin is Brassicaceae; however, its natural concentration is relatively low ...
