Glucosinolates are a diverse group of natural compounds found in plants, particularly in the Brassicaceae family. These compounds are known for their distinct sulfur-containing chemistry, which gives them their characteristic pungent taste and smell.

This review paper summarizes the glucosinolate molecular breakdown, their genetic aspects from biosynthesis to precursors, their bioavailability (assimilation, absorption, and elimination of these molecules), their sensory properties, identified healthy and adverse effects, as well as the impact of processing on their bioavailability.

Glucosinolates are a group of thioglucosides that belong to the class of plant nitrogen-containing natural products. So far, very little biological activity has been associated with intact glucosinolates. The hydrolysis of glucosinolates has, for long, attracted attention because of the potent biological activity of the hydrolysis products.

Current research suggests that glucosinolates (and isothiocyanates) act via several mechanisms, ultimately exhibiting anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and chemo-protective effects. This review summarizes the current knowledge surrounding cruciferous vegetables and their glucosinolates in relation to the specified health conditions.

Glucosinolates (GSLs) are secondary plant metabolites abundantly found in plant order Brassicales. GSLs are constituted by an S -β- d -glucopyrano unit anomerically connected to O -sulfated (Z)-thiohydroximate moiety.

Glucosinolates are sulfur-rich, anionic natural products that upon hydrolysis by endogenous thioglucosidases called myrosinases produce several different products (e.g., isothiocyanates, thiocyanates, and nitriles). The hydrolysis products have many different biological activities, e.g., as defense compounds and attractants.

2020年1月1日 · Glucosinolates (GSLs) constitute a well-defined class of anionic natural products found in cabbages, mustards and related plants (mainly the “cabbage order”, Brassicales), and share the potential to form isothiocyanates (ITCs) with the common structure R–N C S after hydrolysis (Fig. 1).

Glucosinolates are a small group of sulfur-containing specialized metabolites that are mostly restricted to species of the Brassicales order (Prieto et al., 2019).

Glucosinolates are broken down by plant myrosinase in the small intestine or by bacterial myrosinase in the colon. Isothiocyanates are absorbed from the small bowel and colon, and metabolites are detectable in human urine two to three hours after consumption of …

2019年1月1日 · Glucosinolates are a large group of plant secondary metabolites with nutritional effects and biologically active compounds.
