Fig. 4.1 Sinigrin is an aliphatic glucosinolate that occurs at significant levels in the human diet, notably in mustard and Brussels sprouts. When brought into contact with myrosinase, derived either from plant cells or from colonic bacteria, it is broken down to yield a variety of products including the acrid, volatile, biologically active compoimd...
