Trendy glucosinolates

There is still quite a lot of attention to the titration of glucosinolates in various plant materials. They are good markers of identity of many species from Brassicales order. Also, they are tracked as undesirable substances in food/feed products due to their bitter mustard-like taste. Some are considered as precursors of potentially health beneficial bioactives.

Glucolimnanthin from Maca, Extrasynthese analytical standard # 2520 S

Glucocamelinin from Camelina, Extrasynthese analytical standard # 2517 S

Glucomoringin from Moringa, Extrasynthese analytical standard # 2506 S

are emblematic examples of these specific substances.

Glucolimnanthin from Maca

Glucolimnanthine is a key marker of Maca root (Lepidium meyenii), a very priced dietary supplement and subject to many fraudulent adulterations. Its presence and relative abundance compared to Glucotropaeolin is a good indication of its authenticity and quality.

Glucomoringin from Moringa

Many heath benefits of Moringa oleifera seeds, the “horseradish tree”, are associated to its content in Glucomoringin, releasing Moringin, a unique and bioactive glucosylated isothiocyanate, after hydrolysis by the enzyme myrosinase.
