Determination of glucosinolates and phenolic compounds in rocket salad by HPLC-DAD–MS: Evaluation of Eruca sativa Mill. and Diplotaxis tenuifolia L. genetic resources

Antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of solvent extract obtained from rocket (Eruca sativa L.) flowers

“…10,11 Furthermore, numerous studies have been carried out on rocket salad demonstrating thus its health related properties on human being. [12][13][14] The interaction of microorganisms with rocket leaves has been widely studied. [15][16][17][18][19] In addition, rocket seeds possess a significant free radical scavenging capacity and exert a protective effect against HgCl 2 mediated renal toxicity.…”

Oxidative Stress: Role of Eruca sativa Extract on Male Reproduction in Rats

“…In folkloric management Eruca sativa (Rocket) is considered a medicinal plant with many reported properties, including its strong aphrodisiac effects (Font et al, 2003). Several studies found that the presence of flavonoids, saponine and alkaloids in rocket extract (Pasini et al, 2012) caused a significant increase in sperm activity (Barillari et al, 2005), as well as increase spermatogenesis (Homady et al, 2000). The plant possesses hypoglycemic properties (El-Missiry and El-Gindy 2000; Hetta et al, 2014), anticancer activity (Melchini et al, 2009), diuretic (Shalaby and Hammouda, 2014) and anti-inflammatory effects (Yehuda et al, 2009).…”

Glucosinolates in Food

“…As regards GLS profile, it is generally dominated by the three aliphatic-derived compounds glucosativin, in the monomeric and the two dimeric forms (4-[β-Dglucopyranosyldisulfanyl]-butyl-GLS and dimeric 4-mercaptobutyl-GLS (DMB)), glucoerucin, and glucoraphanin, even though very different proportions of these three have been reported [102,107]. In addition, other aliphatic GLSs (glucoalyssin, progoitrin/epiprogoitrin, glucoiberverin), aromatic (glucosinalbin), and indolederived GLS (4-OH-glucobrassicin, glucobrassicin) give a minor contribution to the global profile (Fig.…”
