Mechanical Digestion of Broccoli through Chewing and its Impact on Myrosinase Activity
Abstract:Myrosinase activity on broccoli glucosinolates has been widely and extensively discussed. Purpose: Studies on cruciferous vegetables, especially broccoli, have gained significance in the fight against cancer. Glucosinolates in broccoli transformation into sulforaphane occur after its exposure through chewing. However, the relationship between individual chewing patterns and denture morphology has not been studied extensively. Research on human digestion has demonstrated how the mechanical breakdown of larger f… Show more
