Method for extracting glucosinolate from broccoli seeds

摘要

A new process for extracting and purifying glucosinolates from plant material, preferably broccoli sprouts or seeds is described. An alcoholic extract is adsorbed onto a basic resin and eluted with ammonia. Optionally, the alcoholic extract is passed through an ion-exchange column containing acidic resin prior to the adsorption/elution step.
