“…This finding is especially relevant, as this compound is the precursor of sulforaphane, which is a bioactive isothiocyanate with several health promoting effects (Dinkova-Kostova & Kostov, 2012). Finally, it should be mentioned that the differences observed in GLS content depending on the cultivar are in agreement with the scientific data available (Latté et al, 2011;Pérez-Balibrea, Moreno, & García-Viguera, 2011). Those differences in GLS content, including their presence or absence, are genetically determined in some cases; meanwhile, other major determinants of the GLS composition are the plant age and environmental factors like daily temperatures, soil fertility, pathogen challenge, wounding and plant growth regulators (Latté et al, 2011).…”

“…Significant differences have also been reported in vitamin C levels, as well as total glucosinolate and phenolic compounds content in 8 genotypes of broccoli [20]. In the case of seeds and sprouts of broccoli cultivars, compared to indolic glucosinolates, aliphatic glucosinolates are primarily affected by genetic factors [19,21].…”

Four experiments were carried out in 2010 and 2011 to determine how cultivation period (spring or autumn), harvest season (summer or autumn), and plant water status (irrigated or rainfed) influenced content and composition of broccoli cultivar Parthenon F1 with respect to sulforaphane and phenolics under field conditions in Gödöllő, Hungary. Sulforaphane content was significantly higher in the autumn harvests, regardless of irrigation treatments. Harvest season also influenced total phenolics content, with the highest values occurring in the spring season. Harvest season also affected trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and this capacity was also the greatest in spring. Caffeic acid glucoside was a major phenolics component in both spring and autumn season harvests. The season and irrigation related changes in other phenolic component contents were also characterised in this study.

“…Antioxidant activity was higher in non-sprouted lentil (6.04) and lower in non-sprouted green and yellow split-peas compared to its counterparts. Sprouting of seed have been shown to be one of efficient methods for enhancing nutrition value of seeds, their antioxidative activity thus improving the health quality of foods (Perez-Balibrea et al, 2011).…”

Lentils, green and yellow split-peas have been reported to provide health benefits against colon cancer due to the amount of nutrients and non-nutrient phytochemical compounds present. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the chemopreventive potential of sprouted and non-sprouted lentils (LS, LNS), green (GS, GNS) and yellow split-peas (YS, YNS) on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon cancer. Following a 1 week acclimatization period, 42 Fisher-344 male rats were randomly assigned to 6 groups (n = 6). Five groups were fed treatment diets consisting of the selected legumes (Sprouted and non-sprouted), while the control group (C) was fed AIN-93 growth and maintenance of diet. Colon tumors were induced by administration of AOM at 7 and 8 weeks of age. Rats were killed by CO 2 asphyxiation at age 46 weeks. Results showed lower tumor incidence in treatment groups at 66.7% in GS compared to 100% in LNS and the control. Rats fed control diet had higher Tumors/Tumor Bearing Rat (TBR) ratio (4.33) compared to those in treatment groups (1.2-2). Cecal pH was significantly higher in control (7.81) compared to the treatment diets. Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) activity was significantly higher in sprouted legumes (8.55-14.04 μM minG ). Glutathione concentration (GSH) ranged from a low of 636.34 μM in rats fed GNS to a high of 791.07 μM in rats fed YNS. Selected legumes were effective in reducing incidence of AOM-induced colon tumors in Fisher-344 male rats (2.1-4.3 times) and may be promoted for consumption as part of healthy eating habits to prevent chronic diseases such as cancer.
