Abstract:

High nutrition, rich in sulforaphane, could prevent and inhibit cancer make broccoli sprouts becoming popular in foreign. Composite design of response surface analysis was taken to optimize the extraction of sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts. Then, the optimization extraction method was used to analysis variation of sulforaphane content among 15 broccoli sprouts. The result showed that optimization of extraction method was transonic processing time of 12 min, pH value of 5.0 and hydrolysis time of 4.3 h. There was a significant deference in content of sulforaphane among 15 germplasms of broccoli sprouts. The highest one was CDBY-10 (506.896 μg/g) and the lowest one was CDBY-22 (50.416 μg/g). Most of their contents were between 0-200 μg/g, frequency fitting were not well. Anymore, sulforaphane content in most of the germplasms was in line with late-maturing>early-maturing>mid-maturing. CDBY-10, CDBY-20, CDBY-15 need to be further studied and business developed as high sulforaphane content cultivars.
