Plant matrix concentration and redox status influence thermal glucosinolate stability and formation of nitriles in selected Brassica vegetable broths

Matthias Renz et al.

Summary: Brassica vegetables, rich in glucosinolates (GLSs), have health benefits due to the breakdown of GLSs into isothiocyanates. This study found that the heat stability and conversion of GLSs to nitriles in vegetable broths were influenced by vegetable type and plant matrix concentration. The redox status of the matrix, with H2S as an important factor, also played a role in these processes.

Glucosinolate-derived amine formation in Brassica oleracea vegetables

Lars Andernach et al.

Summary: Glucosinolates are precursors of isothiocyanates (ITCs). Amines were found to be enzymatic hydrolysis products of glucosinolates in Brassica vegetables. An endogenous ITC hydrolase (ITCase) in the plants is responsible for the conversion of ITCs to amines. The presence of amines from glucosinolates in the human diet was confirmed.

The Role of Glucosinolates from Cruciferous Vegetables (Brassicaceae) in Gastrointestinal Cancers: From Prevention to Therapeutics

Catarina Melim et al.

Summary: The gastrointestinal tract, composed of rapidly renewing cells, is prone to cancer. Colorectal cancer, a commonly diagnosed GI cancer, lacks effective treatment. Therefore, exploring new therapeutic strategies involving biologically active phytocompounds is essential. Cruciferous vegetables, rich in various nutrients, particularly glucosinolates, have shown potential as anti-cancer agents. This article discusses the importance of proper compound formulations to enhance the stability and bioaccessibility of crucial compounds in Cruciferous vegetables for the prevention and treatment of GI cancers.

Formation and stability of isothiocyanate protein conjugates at different pH values and bread types enriched with nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus L.)

Mareike Krell et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the potential increase in isothiocyanates (ITC) formation in Brassicaceae-enriched bread while minimizing ITC-protein conjugates. The results showed that pH values of the bread influenced the degradation of glucosinolates (GLS), but there was no significant correlation between pH values and BITC content in model breads. The baking process significantly reduced the ITC content, but the degradation products and BITC-Lys conjugates were stable during storage in the bread matrix itself.

Determination of Isothiocyanate-Protein Conjugates in a Vegetable-Enriched Bread

Mareike Krell et al.

Summary: The study revealed that GLS and their breakdown products like ITC migrate into the surrounding food matrix during baking and react with proteins, altering protein properties and reducing the bioavailability of ITC and lysine.
