“…The glucosinolates sinigrin, gluconapin, glucoraphenin, dehydroerucin, glucotropeolin, sinalbin, and those from rapeseed were isolated and purified according to the method proposed by Thies (1988) with some important modifications reported by Visentin et al (1992), starting from the seed or specified plant organ of some crucifers (Table I). The HPLC analyses of the desulfoderivates, conducted according to the method of Buchner (1986), showed the predominance of a single glucosinolate with a purity, solid weight, ranging from 66 to 89 %, except for the rapeseed extracts, which contained a mixture of glucosinolates containing ca. 60% progoitrin, 20% gluconapin, and other minor glucosinolates: epiprogoitrin, 4-hydroxyglucobrassicin, gluconasturtin, gluconapoleipherin, and others (Figure 2).…”
