| Abstract | Sulforaphane is a biologically active phytochemical found abundantly in Brassica species. Sulforaphane from eighteen samples of three-day-old in vitro seedlings from Brassicas, the Brassica oleracea and Brassica rapa varieties were analyzed by HPLC. San Martino, cavolfiore Alverda, cavolo verza riccio d’Asti and cavolfiore Minaret (4.57; 4.54; 4.53 and 4.53 [mg/g d.w], respectively) seedlings showed the highest level of sulforaphane. The presented data may be applicable to choose sulforaphane-rich Brassica varieties for functional foods. A higher sulforaphane content in functional foods might offer health benefits or desirable physiological effects. © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. |
