Abstract
Glucosinolates (GSL) belong to non-nutritional natural compounds and occur in Crucifers. Rapeseed containing high amounts of GSL, 100 micromol per gram seed, is fed to cattle. The European Community stimulates the cultivation of double zero rapeseed with GSL content below 20 micromol/g seed.
In Crucifer vegetables GSL amounts of 10–40 micromol/g dry matter are found. The Indolyl GSL are found to activate detoxifying enzymes, resulting in an antimutagenic effect and may therefore be of nutritional interest.
The compatibility of analytical methods applying GCC, HPLC and fotometry is studied. The HPLC method using the desulfated glucosinolates is shown to be generally applicable and accurate when using respons factors.
The occurrence of GSL in vegetables and in a cultivar line of Lingot is tabulated.
