Abstract

Natural sulforaphane has been of increasing interest for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries due to its anti-cancer effect. The sulforaphane contents of 14 different major European Brassica oleracea L. varieties (cauliflower Alverda, cauliflower di Jesi, cauliflower Minaret, broccoli Ramoso calabrese, white cabbage, palm cabbage Cuor di Bue, broccoli Primor, savoy cabbage riccio d’Asti, broccoli Eolo, Delicato, cauliflower Nuvola, cauliflower Palla di neve, San martino, Velox) and four different Brassica rapa L. varieties (turnip Senza Testa, cima di rapa 40, cima di rapa 90, cima di rapa 120) which are cultivated in Italy, were analysed during two different developmental stages (3rd and 9th day after germination) of the seedlings. A quantitative determination of sulforaphane in Brassica species seedlings was established by HPLC. The highest amount of sulforaphane (2.21 mg/g d w) was found in San martino 3-day old seedlings. Seedlings of this European Brassica variety may be considered as a potential new source of natural sulforaphane. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
