Abstract:
... The utilization of rapeseed meal in food is limited due to its abundant glucosinolates (GLs). In this study, an LC-MS/MS method for GLs determination in rapeseed meal was developed. Then, the degradation of GLs using rapeseed sprouts derived myrosinase (MYR) was investigated. Results showed that 11 kinds of GLs were identified in rapeseed meal. The LC-MS/MS method had a high linearity (R² greater ...

Abstract:
... The phenotypic plasticity of flowering plants in response to herbivore damage to vegetative tissues can affect plant interactions with flower‐feeding organisms. Such induced systemic responses are probably regulated by defence‐related phytohormones that signal flowers to alter secondary chemistry that affects resistance to florivores. Current knowledge on the effects of damage to vegetative tissue ...

Abstract:
... Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate (ITC) derived from a glucosinolate, glucoraphinin found in cruciferous vegetables. There are few studies that focus on the role of SFN in angiogenesis under hypoxic conditions. The effect of SFN on angiogenesis and the underlying mechanisms including the roles of Nrf2 and mitochondrial dynamics were investigated using cultured human umbilical vein endothelia ...

Abstract:
... A high glucosinolate (GSL) concentration, an undesirable substance, has severely restricted rapeseed (Brassica species) development. We performed widely targeted metabolomics analysis based on the ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–ESI–MS/MS) technology to analyze the metabolic profiles and identify the differential metabolites and G ...

glucosinolates, etc ; agriculture; broccoli; cauliflower; dietary supplements; encapsulation; kale; thermal stability; zein; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Broccoli, kale, and cauliflower contain phenolic compounds and glucosinolates, which have several biological effects on the body. However, because they are thermolabile, many of these substances are lost in the cooking process. Electrospinning encapsulation, using zein as a preservative wall material, can expand the applications of the compounds in the food and pharmaceutical industrie ...

Abstract:
... In this study, quality characteristics of broccoli, kale, and spinach dried with hot air drying (AD), freeze drying (FD) and Refractance Window drying (RWD) were investigated, including phenolics, flavonoids, vitamins, glucosinolates, color, Tg and microstructure. Broccoli, kale and spinach samples dried using RWD had the highest total phenolics content (8.50, 18.77 and 12.40 mg/g, respectively). ...

Abstract:
... Irradiation of green vegetables with different wavelengths of light represents a safe and effective technology that can be used to maintain postharvest quality. In this regard, our previous research demonstrated that red LED irradiation (50 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹) helped to delay the senescence of broccoli stored at room temperature. In the present study, a total of 20,246 differentially expressed mRNAs (DE ...

Abstract:
... Besides glucosinolates, Brassica vegetables accumulate sulfur-containing (+)-S-methyl-l-cysteine sulfoxide (SMCSO, methiin), mainly known from Allium vegetables. Such (+)-S-alk(en)yl-l-cysteine sulfoxides can degrade to volatile organosulfur compounds (VOSCs), which have been linked to health beneficial effects. In the present study, the accumulation of SMCSO and the formation of VOSCs was investi ...

Abstract:
... Mitochondrial retrograde signaling (MRS) plays an essential role in sensing and responding to internal and external stimuli to optimize growth to adapt to the prevailing environmental conditions. Previously studies showed alterations on MRS in cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) plant. However, the regulators involved in MRS in CMS plants remain largely unknown. In this study, we used alternative oxida ...

Abstract:
... Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica Plenck) is one of the most common cruciferous vegetables in the world. Broccoli florets and sprouts are usually used for consumption, while its other parts, such as stalks and leaves, are wasted during harvesting.This review summarizes and compares the main nutrients and phytochemicals in different botanical parts of broccoli. In addition, the recent advanc ...

Abstract:
... As a non-essential heavy metal, Cd has long been considered to cause plant damage and reduce crop productivity. Recently, accumulating studies have shown that low-level Cd shows beneficial effects on plants, called hormesis. However, the mechanism of low-level Cd triggered hormesis is largely unknown. In this study, we found that Cd showed a hormesis effect on broccoli seedlings. The comparative t ...

Abstract:
... Floral displays constitute signals conveyed to potential pollinators by pigments and fragrance compounds, which are secondary metabolites biosynthesized through a limited number of major metabolic pathways. In recent years, the role of defensive secondary metabolites, targeted to tolerate/resist herbivory, pathogen-borne diseases and other kinds of stress, has become apparent in the context of flo ...

Abstract:
... Plants developing into the flowering stage undergo major physiological changes. Because flowers are reproductive tissues and resource sinks, strategies to defend them may differ from those for leaves. Thus, this study investigates the defences of flowering plants by assessing processes that sustain resistance (constitutive and induced) and tolerance to attack. We exposed the annual plant Brassica ...

Abstract:
... Rapeseed is the second largest plant protein resource in the world with an ideal profile of essential amino acids. Rapeseed meal (RSM) is one of the by-products of rapeseed oil extraction. Due to the anti-nutritional components (glucosinolates and fiber) and poor palatability, RSM is limited in livestock diets. Recently, how to decrease the anti-nutritional factors and improve the nutritional valu ...

Abstract:
... Glucosinolates (GLS) are bioactive compounds found in Brassicaceae vegetables. Industrial food processing treatments, such as blanching, quick-freezing (QF), vacuum freeze-drying (VFD), vacuum-drying (VD) and oven-drying (OD), significantly affect the degradation and ingestion of GLS. Here, the effects of these treatments, followed by boiling, on the GLS content and mimicking ingestion level of is ...

... Papaya fruit is one of economic crops in Taiwan, mostly eaten as table fruits. In some Asian countries, unripe papaya fruit is eaten as salad and this led to trends in Taiwan as well. However, unripe papaya fruit may taste bitter during cool seasons. Glucosinolate and cyanogenic glucoside are among the substances that cause bitter taste in many plants, which can also be found in papaya. However, t ...
