Glucosinolate composition of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) grown under various boron treatments at three Ontario sites

Barry J. Shelp, L. Liu, Daniel J. McLellan

Abstract

The relative glucosinolate composition of the florets from field-grown broccoli, determined using high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, varied slightly with growing site and B fertilization, but was cultivar-dependent. Differences among growing sites, in total glucosinolate concentration, were greater than differences between the two cultivars used in the study. Key words: Brassica, broccoli, glucosinolate, nutrition
