Although there has been some basic research on how sulforaphane might exert beneficial effects in vivo, there is no high-quality evidence for its efficacy against human diseases. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Broccoli sprouts also contain a particular glucosinolate compound, glucoraphanin , which is found in vacuoles within the cytoplasm of the plant cell.
Sulforaphane (sometimes sulphoraphane in British English) is a compound within the isothiocyanate group of organosulfur compounds. [1] It is produced when the enzyme myrosinase transforms glucoraphanin, a glucosinolate, into sulforaphane upon damage to the plant (such as from chewing or chopping during food preparation), which allows the two compounds to mix and react.
Glucoraphanin is a glucosinolate found in broccoli, [1] [2] mustard and other cruciferous vegetables. [3] [4] Glucoraphanin is converted to sulforaphane by the enzyme myrosinase. [5] In plants, sulforaphane deters insect predators and acts as a selective antibiotic. [6]
