Phytochemical profile and functionality of Brassicaceae species

Abstract

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article. Please note that, during the production process, errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain.

Phytotherapy and food applications from Brassica genus

“…(5.2%), and 1-butene 4-isothiocyanato (4.8%) More detailed composition of essential oils and ether extracts of the Brassica seeds are presented in Table 1. (Bhandari & Kwak, 2015;Fusari et al, 2020;Hedges & Lister, 2006;Ongaro, Povolo, Zagotto, & Ribaudo, 2019).…”

“…Sulforaphane (1‐isothiocyanato‐4‐[methylsulfinyl] butane) and phenethyl isothiocyanate (2‐isothiocyanatoethylbenzene) are two of the main isothiocyanates isolated from broccoli and watercress (Palliyaguru, Yuan, Kensler, & Fahey, 2018). Another OS is S‐methyl cysteine sulfoxide which act as precursor for synthesis of the volatiles containing sulfur in its structure (Fusari et al, 2020). Although the presence of glucosinolates are cosmopolitan in Brassica genus, but its concentration varies according to the species, geographical location, environmental conditions, development stage, and plant part (Bhandari, Jo, & Lee, 2015; Fusari et al, 2020; Hanschen & Schreiner, 2017).…”

Brassica oleracea foliage contain ~1,000 ppm, sprouts ~3,000 ppm, and B. nigra seeds ~60,000 ppm glucosinolates (Burrows & Tyrl, 2013).…”

“…Several physical and chemical environmental factors [genetic characteristics, harvest time, hydric and osmotic stress, nutrition (fertilization), photoperiod (light), relative humidity, seasonality, soil properties (salinity, pH, chemical composition, toxins), and the temperature], can affect the quality and quantity of phytochemicals and essential oils biosynthesized by Brassica plants (Bhandari & Kwak, 2015; Fusari et al, 2020; Hanschen et al, 2017; Hanschen & Schreiner, 2017; Hedges & Lister, 2006; Ongaro, Povolo, Zagotto, & Ribaudo, 2019). The expression level of phytochemicals and essential oils of Brassica plants may be a response against mechanical factors such as injuries, rain, hailstones, wind, and sandstorms.…”

Isolation and Identification of Antioxidant Constituents From Extracellular Metabolites of Lactobacillus Brevis

“…In all commonly used antioxidant assay methods, the antioxidant activity of the flower essential oil was found to be higher than APs oil. (Fusari, et al, 2020). Isothiocyanates and phenolic compounds in essential oils may be the cause of the antioxidant effect.…”
