Glucosinolates and myrosinase activity under different conditions in papaya (Carica Papaya)
Glucosinolatesu ndergo hydrolysis readily upon cell rupture (such as cutting and heating) by the naturally-occurring enzyme myrosinase to form mainly isothiocyanates and/or nitriles. Isothiocyanates are known to possess anticarcinogenicp roperties while nitriles are largely inactive. Benzyli sothioc...
