Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) is one of the 10 most economically important plant families and includes vegetables such as broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, radish and various mustards. Among the cultivated Brassicaceae, broccoli attracted attention after it was discovered that it contains high levels of isothiocyanate sulforaphane. Isothiocyanate sulforaphane, [4-(methylsulfinyl)butyl isothiocyanate], is produced from the breakdown of glucoraphanin, [4-(methylsulfinyl) butyl GSL] and has great potential anticarcinogenic properties. Sulforaphane is the most potent naturally occurring Phase II enzyme inducer and is considered to play an important role in the detoxification of xenobiotic compounds when assimilated with diet 1,2 .Vegetables from the Brassicaceae family are among the most commonly grown vegetables worldwide. The family includes cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collards and Brussels sprouts. Brassica vegetables are rich in bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, tocopherols, ascorbic acid, carotenoids and glucosinolates [3][4][5] . Epidemiological data have
