progoitrin/rapeseed

From the present review it is clear that glucosinolates and their breakdown products may pass in small amounts into such products as meat, milk or eggs without noticeable deterioration in their taste. When applying low glucosinolate rapeseed meal (LG-RSM) as the sole high protein component of

Two experiments were conducted with Hyline Leghorn hens to study the metabolism and detrimental effects of rapeseed meal (RSM) glucosinolates. Raw Target RSM was force fed to 12 hens which were killed after varying time intervals (15 min., 30 min., 60 min.) and the contents of areas of the digestive

The chemical and sensory quality of field-grown vegetables may be influenced by cultivar choice and agronomic factors but knowledge is lacking on the new rapeseed vegetables. White- and yellow-flowering rapeseed cultivars were tested in two seasonally different field studies in Denmark at three

A total of six cows, divided into 3 groups, were fed various amounts of rape cake containing 6 g of goitrin/kg over a period of 7 days. The cows were milked twice a day and the goitrin content of the heated milk samples were determined by a HPLC-method within 2 h. When rape cake was fed at 0.39, 1.9

A procedure for the preparative isolation of 1-S-[(1Z)-3-hydroxy-1-[(sulfooxy) imino]-4-pentenyl]-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyanose, potassium salt (progoitrin) from Brassica oleracea is reported. The major steps in this procedure were: (1) extraction of glucosinolates with methanol from Brassica oleracea;

5-Vinyl-1,3-oxazolidine-2-thione (5-VOT) is a goitrogenic compound released by enzymatic degradation of progoitrin, the most important glucosinolate occurring in rapeseed meal. This paper describes an analytical method for determining the 5-VOT in complex matrices. The method proposed by Quinsac et

A method for the comprehensive profiling of intact glucosinolates (GLSs), major and minor, occurring in leaves and seeds of rocket salad (Eruca sativa L.) is presented using optimized reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) with electrospray ionization (ESI) ion trap mass spectrometry (ITMS).

Glucosinolates are a well-studied and highly diverse class of natural plant compounds. They play important roles in plant resistance, rapeseed oil quality, food flavoring, and human health. The biological activity of glucosinolates is released upon tissue damage, when they are mixed with the enzyme

While some isothiocyanate (ITCs) are attractive targets for the agricultural and pharmaceutical industries, the presence of goitrin and ITCs has hampered the widespread utilization of rapeseed meal. ITCs are the products of the myrosinase-mediated hydrolysis of glucosinolate (GSLs). As such, a study

The use of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) or leaf mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern) meal or both as organic fertilizer not only improves the soil environment and crop productivity by supplying nutrients but also has nematicidal effects. This study aimed to establish the optimal
