Table 1.
Chemical characterization of E. sativa and B. nigra DSMs. Nitrogen and oil content are expressed as % w/w (based on dry weight). GSL content is expressed in μmol/g and total phenolic content in mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g of DSM. Mean values ± standard deviation (n = 3) are shown. GSL common variable side chain (R) chemical structure is also indicated where X represents the GSL S-glucopyranosyl thiohydroximate moiety. GER, GRA, and SIN indicate the GSL glucoerucin, glucoraphanin, and sinigrin respectively.
