Variation of glucosinolates in 62 varieties of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) and their antioxidant activity

Glucosinolate (GSL) and antioxidant activity in 62 varieties of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) were determined by HPLC and DPPH, HRSA, and FRAP assays. Five aliphatic GSLs: progoitrin, sinigrin, glucoalyssin, gluconapin, and glucobrassicanapin; four indolyl GSLs: 4-hydroxyglucobrassicin, glucobrassicin, 4-methoxyglucobrassicin, and neoglucobrassicin; one aromatic GSL: gluconasturtiin were identified. Glucobrassicanapin and gluconapin documented the most abundant (average 4.52 and 3.72 μmol/g DW, respectively). The contents of total GSLs varied extensively among 62 varieties (range from 2.83 to 48.53 μmol/g DW). Comprehensive differences in total and individual GSL contents have also been observed among different varieties. Indolyl and aromatic GSL together accounted 26% of the total GSLs; but there are few differences among varieties. FC7 and FI17 could be good candidates for future breeding programs since they had a high quantity of glucobrassicin (2.10 and 1.66 μmol/g DW, respectively). Most of the Chinese cabbage varieties showed significant antioxidant activities when compare with positive control. However, three antioxidant assays were not significantly correlated with total GSLs. The presence of significant quantities of glucobrassicin in some varieties should be studied more extensively, since GSL is the precursor of indole-3-carbinol, a potent anticancer isothiocyanate.
