Effects of ascorbic acid and ferum ions concentration on the hydrolysis of glucosinolate and myrosinase activity in the watercress (Nasturtium officinale sp.)

Watercress (Nasturtium officinale sp.) from the Brassicae family contains phenethyl glucosinolates (gluconasturtiin) as the main glucosinolate (GLS). The enzymatic hydrolysis products by naturally-occuring myrosinase produced phenethyl isothicyanate (PEITC) which reported to possess anti-carcinogeni...
