The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of glucose on glucosinolates, antioxidants and
metabolic enzymes in Brassica sprouts. After glucose treatment, total glucosinolates, phenolics and anthocyanin
contents and antioxidant activity were significantly enhanced in Chinese kale and pak choi sprouts,
while only the anthocyanin and ascorbic acid contents were increased in radish sprouts. These results
indicate that glucose treatment has selectively improved the nutritional compounds in different Brassica
sprouts.
