“…Glucosinolates occur in at least 11 plant families and in virtually all members of the mustard family (Brassicaceae or Cruciferae). Although leaves usually contain approximately 0.1% glucosinolates, their concentration in seeds of some species may range as high as 10% dry weight . A study of glucosinolates from seeds of 297 species of wild plants illustrates the wide occurrence of glucosinolates and the variety of their hydrolysis products (see Figure ).…”

“…Benzyl isothiocyanate strongly inhibited germination of seeds of velvet leaf, Abutilon theophrasti Medik. (Malvaceae), at 4 × 10 −4 M . Vaughn et al demonstrated that the major phytotoxins of pennycress, Thlaspi arvense L. (Brassicaceae), 2-propen-1-yl (allyl) isothiocynate and allyl thiocyanate, completely inhibit seed germination of several other plant species at concentrations of 5 ppm or less .…”

“…It was suggested that pennycress seed meal may have potential as an environmentally friendly biofumigant for high-value horticultural crops. Seigler has provided an excellent summary of the occurrence, chemistry, and range of biological effects of glucosinolates and their hydrolysis products …”

Investigations of natural products isolated from seeds have resulted in a remarkable variety of compounds having unusual structures. Seeds of many plant species contain uncommon fatty acids and lipids, some of which have found uses in the cosmetic industry or as renewable (non-petroleum based) industrial raw materials. In addition to proteins and energy storage substances such as carbohydrates and lipids, seeds generally contain, or have the ability to produce, protective compounds that are active as plant growth regulators, fungicides, insecticides, and repellents of herbivores; seeds occasionally contain compounds that are toxic to most other organisms. These compounds may also be present in other plant parts, but often are found at higher concentrations in seeds. Other compounds of interest have been associated with plant-endophyte interactions that are of mutual benefit to both organisms. Tests of seed extracts for cytotoxic and antitumor activity, toxicity to insects, and relationships to several animal disease syndromes have been revealing. Examples of compounds isolated from plant seeds that have served as lead compounds for additional research, or that continue to be of interest to researchers in multiple areas, are reviewed.

Leaf mustard (Brassica juncea), the main ingredient of leaf mustard kimchi, has a variety of biologically active secondary metabolites such as glucosinolates (GSLs), flavonoids, and polyphenols. In this study, the changes in GSL content and antioxidant properties during the storage of Dolsan leaf mustard kimchi (DLMK) for 35 days were examined by separation and purification of DLMK extracts using high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and preparative octadecylsilane‐HPLC. The total GSL content and antioxidant activity of the DLMK extracts had significantly lower values on day 21 of storage (p <.05). GSLs were detected in a single extract of DLMK using liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry. The GSLs detected throughout most of the storage period (sinigrin, gluconapin, and glucotropaeplin) were different from those detected on day 21 of storage (glucobrassicin and progoitrin), when the antioxidant activity was low. Thus, GSLs may contribute to the antioxidant activity of DLMK. Practical applications Dolsan leaf mustard kimchi (DLMK) is expected to have biological effects owing to the properties of its various ingredients, but the effects of fermentation and the overall composition of DLMK on physiological activity have not been determined. On the basis of this study, DLMK has high value as a natural antioxidant, but the antioxidant activity varies with fermentation time, which is lowest on day 21. Thus, these results can be used to establish appropriate preparation conditions for DLMK as a functional food.
