Effects of consumption of Brussels sprouts on intestinal and lymphocytic glutathione S-transferases in humans

A high intake of glucosinolate-containing cruciferous vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleraceae), has been linked to a decreased cancer risk, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. The aim of this study was to reveal possible modulating effects of consumption of Brussels sprouts on duodenal, rectal and lymphocytic (i)...

Modelling of the glucosinolate content in solid-state fermentation of rapeseed meal with fuzzy logic

A fuzzy model was developed to predict the glucosinolate content of rapeseed meal during solid-state fermentation. Process variables such as temperature, relative humidity, fermentation time and the resulting glucosinolate content of the meal were considered. The glucosinolate content calculated by the fuzzy model corresponded with the...
