Effects of pressure/temperature treatments on stability and activity of endogenous broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. cv. Italica) myrosinase and on cell permeability KU Leuven
Broccoli contains glucosinolates, which can be hydrolysed by myrosinase (EC 3.2.1.147) after cell disruption, to yield a range of products, of which some have anticarcinogenic properties. Since thermal processing results in myrosinase inactivation, the use of a high pressure/temperature treatment (HP/T), which can induce cell permeabilisation at moderate conditions, can be an alternative. In this research it was investigated at which conditions ...
