“…It is noteworthy that 1 and 2 are the major selenoamino acids found in Allium spp. and broccoli, in contrast to the predominance of 4 in wheat and other grains (Beilstein and Whanger, 1986;Tschursin et al, 1994), which are major sources of dietary Se in the United States (Olson et al, 1970), and 10 Broccoli II Figure 4. GC-AED analysis (upper, S channel monitored at 180.7 nm; lower, Se channel monitored at 196.1 nm) of CICO2-Et-derivatized amino acids from lyophilized Se-enriched garlic (1,1355 ppm Se; S:Se scale 1:10), broccoli (II, 345 ppm Se; S:Se scale 1:20), and onion (III, 96 ppm Se; S:Se scale 1:10).…”
