Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Glucosinolate concentrations were slightly reduced after microwave cooking.
- Intervention effect Myrosinase activity was effectively lost after 2 min of microwave cooking.
- Observation Hydrolysis of residual glucosinolates yielded predominantly CEP at short cooking durations and AITC at longer durations.
- Observation Lightly cooked cabbage produced the highest yield of AITC on hydrolysis in vitro.
- Recommendation Cooking Brassica vegetables for a relatively short duration may be desirable from a health perspective.
