These reactions to 4-methylthiobutyl glucosinolate, the precursor for sulforaphane formation, have been extensively studied in Eruca sativa (arugula, rocket).64 A gene controlling variation in the glucosinolates of Arabidopsis is part of the methionine elongation pathway just described.65... 

Because of the advantageous dietary effects of flavonoids they have been vigorously investigated in food and food products. The objectives of these measurements were the separation and quantitation of well-known flavonoids in foods and the identification of new flavonoids. An HPLC-ESI MS method has been developed for the isolation and identification of new quercetin derivatives in the leaves of Eruca sativa (Mill). Fresh leaves (500g) were homogenized with 1 200 ml of methanol-water (7 3, v/v), the suspension was macerated for 24h at ambient temperature, then it was filtered, concentrated to 50 ml and diluted with water to 500 ml. The extract was applied to an Amberlite XAD-2 column (75 X 8cm i.d.) and was washed subsequently with 11 of water and 11 of diethyl ether. The glucoside fraction was eluted with 1.51 of methanol and the eluate was concentrated in vacuum and liophilized.

Formation of the thiocyanate (94) is believed to be caused by enzymatic rearrangement (E) of the isothiocyanate (54) although direct formation from the glucosinolate has not been excluded (95). It occurs in homogenized Eruca sativa plants but not seed (95), and in Lepidium sativum seed powder but not T. majus (54, 96). The isothiocyanate is initially (10-15 sec) formed in substantial quantities but immediately decreases to a low level (97, 98). Addition of mustard myrosinase to heated Lepidium seed powder produces only isothiocyanate (56).

Other cruciferous vegetables may be used in the human diet either as condiments, as it is the case of Sinapis alba (white mustard) or as salad crops, such as Nasturtium officinale (watercress), Eruca sativa (salad rocket), and Diplotaxis tenuifolia (wild rocket). These species are eaten all over the world in salads and soups. Predominantly, the leaves of these species are eaten raw or cooked, although Eruca and D. catholica flowers are also consumed. Other species from Diplotaxis genus such as D. acris and D. simplex have been reported to be edible components of green salads in North Africa, Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan. Finally, other crops can be used because of their roots, as it is the case of Raphanus sativus (radish), which is an important vegetable crop worldwide, especially in China, Japan, Korea, and Southeastern Asia.
