sulforafaani
Sulforaphane is a naturally occurring organosulfur compound found in cruciferous vegetables. It is produced when glucoraphanin, a glucosinolate, is broken down by the enzyme myrosinase. This enzymatic reaction occurs when the plant tissue is damaged, such as through chewing or chopping. Glucoraphanin is particularly abundant in broccoli, but can also be found in other vegetables like Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage.
Research has investigated sulforaphane for its potential health benefits, primarily focusing on its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
The bioavailability and stability of sulforaphane can be influenced by how the cruciferous vegetables are prepared.
