Glucosinolates in Chinese kale (Brassica alboglabra Bailey) were analysed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and the variation of glucosinolates in three edible parts (sprout, rosette leaf and bolting stem) of 27 Chinese kale varieties was investigated. Thirteen glucosinolates, including eight aliphatic glucosinolates, four indole glucosinolates and one aromatic glucosinolate, were identified in Chinese kale. The contents of total glucosinolate varied extensively among the different edible parts, and the total glucosinolate contents in the sprouts were obviously higher than those in rosette leaves and bolting stems. Obvious differences in the total and individual glucosinolate contents were also observed in each edible part among the different varieties. Gluconapin was the most abundant glucosinolate among all the edible parts of the 27 varieties except for the sprout of JL-26. The JL-26, JL-25 and JL-16 varieties are good candidates for future breeding programs since they contain high levels of methylsulphinylalkyl glucosinolates (glucoiberin and glucoraphanin) in certain edible parts.
