The impact of sulfate deprivation and atmospheric H2S and SO2 nutrition on the content and composition of glucosinolates was studied in Brassica juncea and B. rapa. Both species contained a number of aliphatic, aromatic and indolic glucosinolates. The total glucosinolate content was more than 5.5-fold higher in B. juncea than in B. rapa, which could solely be attributed to the presence of high levels of sinigrin, which was absent in the latter species. Sulfate deprivation resulted in a strong decrease in the content and an altered composition of the glucosinolates of both species. Despite the differences in patterns in foliarly uptake and metabolism, their exposure hardly affected the glucosinolate composition of the shoot, both at sulfate-sufficient and sulfate-deprived conditions. This indicated that the glucosinolate composition in the shoot was hardly affected by differences in sulfur source (viz., sulfate, sulfite and sulfide). Upon sulfate deprivation, where foliarly absorbed H2S and SO2 were the sole sulfur source for growth, the glucosinolate composition of roots differed from sulfate-sufficient B. juncea and B. rapa, notably the fraction of the indolic glucosinolates was lower than that observed in sulfur-sufficient roots.

Selected phenotypes of dried maca () hypocotyls and supercritical CO extract (USPlus) of saw palmetto () were used to determine their targeted, cytotoxic action in prostate cancer cells. Fingerprinting by HPLC-MS and PCA analysis showed compositional differences in glucosinolates, amides, macamides, and other alkaloids, which varied based on the color and the size of hypocotyls. These phytochemical differences translated into a higher antioxidant potential of red maca than black maca samples.

In order to select the most suitable nitrogen form that can increase the yield and improve the quality of mini Chinese cabbage, a pot-experiment was conducted. The effects of the different nitrogen fertilizers on the yield, phenolic acid and flavonoids, amino acid fractions, volatiles, and total glucosinolate contents of mini Chinese cabbage were measured. The treatments were nitrate nitrogen (N), ammonium nitrogen (A), amide nitrogen (U), and amino acid nitrogen (PASP)], and no fertilizer (NF) was set as a control.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the chemical composition of combined extracts from Langusei fruit and papaya latex and their effects on fleas.
- Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), the research identified six compounds in the extract combination, four of which had not been previously recognized.
- The results indicated that this combination was highly effective, achieving 100% mortality in fleas comparable to synthetic insecticides, suggesting its potential use as an ectoparasiticide.

Global protein consumption is increasing exponentially, which requires efficient identification of potential, healthy, and simple protein sources to fulfil the demands. The existing sources of animal proteins are high in fat and low in fiber composition, which might cause serious health risks when consumed regularly. Moreover, protein production from animal sources can negatively affect the environment, as it often requires more energy and natural resources and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.

The aim of this study was to compare the concentration of phenolic compounds, glucosinolates, proteins, sugars and vitamin C between kohlrabi ( var. ), Savoy cabbage (), Brussels sprouts (), cauliflower (), radish () and garden cress () microgreens for their antioxidant and hypoglycemic potential. In addition, we applied an in vitro-simulated system of human digestion in order to track the bioaccessibility of the selected phenolic representatives, and the stability of the microgreens' antioxidant and hypoglycemic potential in terms of α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition after each digestion phase.
