Abstract: | Air-dried leaves of Farsetia aegyptia and F. ramosissima have been analysed for their glucosinolates; the former was shown to contain at least six but chiefly allylglucosinolate, whilst the latter contains at least five but mainly but-3-enylglucosinolate with some 4-(methylthio)butylglucosinolate. Without the addition of extraneous thioglucosidase enzyme, both species gave predominantly nitrile degradation products of glucosinolates; but if extra enzyme were added, corresponding isothiocyanates became the major products instead. Varying the pH from the natural level for the plant also considerably affected the ratios of glucosinolate products. |
