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.
Cabbage plants Cruciferous vegetables are vegetables of the family Brassicaceae (also called Cruciferae) with many genera, species, and cultivars being raised for food production such as cauliflower , cabbage , kale , garden cress , bok choy , broccoli , Brussels sprouts , mustard plant and similar green leaf vegetables .
Cabbage also contains a type of sugar called raffinose, which is also found in broccoli and Brussels sprouts. This carb is particularly hard to digest. “Our bodies cannot fully break down this ...
Organosulfur chemistry is the study of the properties and synthesis of organosulfur compounds, which are organic compounds that contain sulfur. [1] They are often associated with foul odors, but many of the sweetest compounds known are organosulfur derivatives, e.g., saccharin.
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]
The chemical complexity of coffee is emerging, especially due to observed physiological effects which cannot be related only to the presence of caffeine. Moreover, coffee contains an exceptionally substantial amount of antioxidants such as chlorogenic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids, caffeine and Maillard reaction products, such as melanoidins. [3]
Cabbage heads are generally picked during the first year of the plant's life cycle, but plants intended for seed are allowed to grow a second year and must be kept separate from other cole crops to prevent cross-pollination. Cabbage is prone to several nutrient deficiencies, as well as to multiple pests, and bacterial and fungal diseases.
