This is the first comprehensive reference compilation on the
substance class of glucosinolates. This handbook introduces the
reader to the sulfur-containing glucosinolates (S-glucosides), a
class of secondary metabolites of almost all plants of the order
Capparales, in particular in the family Brassicaceae (e.g. broccoli
and other cabbages), derived from glucose and an amino acid. The
book illustrates the natural variety of glucosinolate structures,
mainly derived from the precursor amino acid. Chapters describe the
resulting rich bioactivity of the glucosides, for example as
anti-cancer agents, insecticides, nematicides, fungicides, their
potential phytotoxic effects, antimicrobial activity and their
possible role in neurodegenerative diseases and human health.
Different methods for the extraction, characterization,
quantification and processing of the glucosinolates are introduced,
and potential applications are discussed. The fate of
glucosinolates during food processing is also briefly addressed.
This handbook is written by leading experts and structured in
different sections addressing the natural occurrence of
glucosinolates, their (bio-)synthesis, bioactivity, food processing
of glucosinolate-containing vegetables, health and disease-related
aspects, biotechnology, and methods applied in
glucosinolate-research. It is thus a rich reference source for
every reader working in the field, from chemists and
biotechnologists, to life scientists, pharmacists and medical
scientists.
