The Mustard Oil of Limnanthes douglasii Seed, m-Methoxybenzyl Isothiocyanate

Chemical and biological characterisation of nutraceutical compounds of broccoli

“…There is a wealth of knowledge on methods for the efficient isolation and identification of glucosinolates in Brassicas and more specifically in broccoli [67][68][69]. Most early identifications relied on paper or thin-layer chromatography of the glucosinolates or on their presumptive hydrolysis products.…”

Decreased sulforaphene concentration and reduced myrosinase activity of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) root during cold storage

“…The structure of GSLs consists of a b-thioglucoside moiety, a sulfonated oxime aglycone, and a variable side chain derived from eight amino acids. Over 100 GSLs with different side chains have been reported (Ettlinger and Lundeen, 1956;Fenwick and Heaney, 1983;Rosa et al, 1997).…”

Glucosinolates in the new oilseed crop meadowfoam: natural variation in Section Inflexae of Limnanthes, a new glucosinolate in L. floccosa, and QTL analysis in L. alba

“…The presence of glucosinolates in meadowfoam was inferred more than 150 years ago when Chatin (1856) observed the release of a pungent, steam‐volatile oil from macerated meadowfoam leaf tissue that was similar in odour and taste to “mustard oil” from garden cress ( Lepidium sativum ). The glucosinolate breakdown product was subsequently identified as 3‐methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, and the parent glucosinolate was designated glucolimnanthin (Ettlinger and Lundeen 1956, Miller et al. 1964).…”
