Effect of Ultrasound-Assisted Blanching on Myrosinase Activity and Sulforaphane Content in Broccoli Florets
Sulforaphane (SFN) is a health-promoting compound occurring in broccoli. It is formed by action of myrosinase in a two-step reaction that also yields undesirable compounds such as nitriles and isothionitriles. Different techniques affecting enzyme activity and tissue integrity were proposed to incre...
