Phytotherapy and food applications from Brassica genus

Abstract

Plants of the genus Brassica occupy the top place among vegetables in the world. This genus, which contains a group of six related species of a global economic significance, three of which are diploid: Brassica nigra (L.) K. Koch, Brassica oleracea L., and Brassica rapa L. and three are amphidiploid species: Brassica carinata A. Braun, Brassica juncea (L.) Czern., and Brassica napus L. These varieties are divided into oily, fodder, spice,

Targeted Metabolic and In-Silico Analyses Highlight Distinct Glucosinolates and Phenolics Signatures in Korean Rapeseed Cultivars

“…Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is one of the most important edible oil crops in the world, with high nutritional value for humans and a protein source for livestock [1,2]. It is also a source of alternative fuel and edible oil in Korea with a low self-sufficiency rate that has a high development value.…”

“…They can be divided into four major classes: terpenoids, and sulfur-containing compounds such as glucosinolates (GSLs), alkaloids, and phenolics [7,8]. Over recent decades, plant secondary metabolites such as GSLs have been gaining great interest because of their cancerpreventive properties for humans as well as their nutritional value [2,[9][10][11], which evoked the demand for the breeding of functional cultivars and industrial applications [12].…”

An integrated network pharmacology and metabolomics approach to reveal the immunomodulatory mechanism of Brassica rapa L. (Tibetan Turnip) in fatigue mice

“…8 Brassica rapa L. has been recognized as a high altitude adaptogen in the Tibetan Plateau like Rosen root (Rhodiola rosea), thus sharing rich similar nutraceutical and anti-fatigue properties in clinical efficacy. 9,10 Notably, Rosen root is a rare, slowgrowing, perennial herbaceous plant with a well-developed root system, so the vulnerable plateau ecological environment may get damaged as well by manual picking. The fast developing international trade of Rosen root products has recently caused an increasing debate on their chain values and quality control.…”

Optimization of microwave‐assisted extraction of anthocyanins in red cabbage by response surface methodology

“…capitata f. rubra) belongs to the family of Brassicaceae and is a native vegetable of the Mediterranean region and south-western Europe that now grows in regions all over the world . It has a high content of flavonoids and especially anthocyanins (Salehi et al, 2021).…”

“…capitata f. rubra ) belongs to the family of Brassicaceae and is a native vegetable of the Mediterranean region and south‐western Europe that now grows in regions all over the world (Arapitsas et al., 2008). It has a high content of flavonoids and especially anthocyanins (Salehi et al., 2021). Therefore, it has many positive effects on human health such as the prevention of cardiovascular disease and inhibitory effects on some cancer types.…”
