Garden cress

The wide distribution of this insecticide in other cruciferous crops was investigated later, and the stability and occurrence of this compound were studied. Two cabbage varieties, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale, mustard, and kohlrabi contained 2-phenylethyl isothiocyanate in various amounts as evidenced by gas-liquid chromatography and bioassay (houseflies and vinegar flies) (Table VII). Insecticidal activities were encountered only with root tissues. Compounds of insecticidal activity, not attributable to 2-phenylethyl isothiocyanate, were found in the edible parts of radish and leaves of turnip, rutabaga, and garden cress.

As an alternative to traditional solvent extraction methods, the extraction by supercritical (SC) fluids has been used in tocol analysis. This is an environmentally friendly technique as little or no solvents are used. Extraction parameters, e.g. temperature and fluid density, are easily optimized and managed, and as the extraction is fast it is thus suitable for routine work with many samples. SC carbon dioxide has been used to extract tocols from barley (Fratianni et al, 2002), dried bay leaves (Gomez-Coronado et al, 2004), and garden cress seeds (Diwakar et al, 2010). Extractions were carried out in single or multiple steps and with different fluid densities controlled by extraction pressures. Tocol yields from barley were 5% and 14% less than by Soxhlet and chloroform-methanol extractions (Fratianni et al, 2002), yields from garden cress seeds were 26% less than by Soxhlet extraction (Diwakar et al, 2010), and a- and y-tocopherol yields from dried bay leaves were 22% and 40% less than by acetone extraction (Gomez-Coronado et al, 2004). Despite lower recoveries of tocols, the SC carbon dioxide extraction methods were considered comparable to the classical extraction methods (Fratianni et al, 2002).

Organic isothiocyanates have been isolated from marine fauna and plants . Alkyl, allyl and benzyl isothiocyanates occur in nature as glucosinolates, in plants such as garden cress, horseradish and mustard. Their principal metabolite is a mercapturic acid (26) present in urine. It is analysed by decomposing at pH 5 according to reaction 41 the isothiocyanate is treated with -butylamine (reaction 39, X = S) and the resulting thiourea is extracted and analysed by HPLC. ...

The isothiocyanates contain the -N C S group and are found in several pungent vegetables, particularly, (a) allyl isothiocyanate, produced by the enzymatic action of myrosin on the glycoside sinigrin in black mustard seed (b) benzyl isothiocyanate found in garden cress and (c) phenyl ethyl isothiocyanate, responsible for the sharp pungency of horseradish.
