Abstract
-
The edible portions of cabbage, cauliflower and brussels sprouts were found to contain a previously unreported glucosinolate. The compound was purified as the desulfo derivative by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and subjected to analysis by thin layer chromatography, ultra-violet and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The results of these investigations indicate that the new component is 4-methoxy-3-indolylmethyl glucosinolate. © 1982 Academic Press, Inc.
