Various concentrations of erucic acid in mustard oil and mustard

Influence of different light conditions and time of sprouting on harmful and beneficial aspects of rutabaga sprouts in comparison to their roots and seeds

“…Being aware of the studies demonstrating toxic effects of rutabaga seeds and roots on thyroid gland function, but nevertheless supporting the idea of introducing rutabaga sprouts as a new functional food, we paid careful attention to assessing the product‐related risk. This aspect of food control for rutabaga has never been investigated before, so the results of our experiment may at least partially answer the question concerning safety of the tested products, related to the content of likely present antinutritive compounds, especially progoitrin and erucic acid, whose consumption was previously associated with myocardial lipidosis and heart lesions in animals . Finally, our study covers discussion on growth time and light availability influence on the concentration of beneficial and harmful substances in rutabaga sprouts; the conclusions may be of interest for sprout producers.…”

“…Wendlinger et al . indicated that great attention had been focused on the erucic acid problem in rapeseed oil, though data on this harmful and undesired fatty acid in other Brassicaceae plants are scarce.…”

“…Wendlinger et al 9 indicated that great attention had been focused on the erucic acid problem in rapeseed oil, though data on this harmful and undesired fatty acid in other Brassicaceae plants are scarce. West et al 28 suggested that consumers might be unaware of being exposed to erucic acid by consuming Brassica products; hence in the current context dietary recommendations concerning Brassica vegetables and the potential intoxication risk are counterproductive.…”

The seeds were soaked in water for 3 h and transferred to a three-compartment plastic sprout maker.…”

Perfil Dos Ésteres Obtidos Pela Transesterificação Etanólica E Metanólica Do Óleo De Nabo Forrageiro

“…Segundo Wendlinger et al (2014) este ácido graxo é tóxico. Assim, além de ser uma rotação de cultura, o nabo forrageiro não pode ser destinado à alimentação humana ou animal, como é observado para a soja e outras culturas de oleaginosas, contribuindo pela sua destinação na produção de biodiesel.…”
