[Progress in the determination of glucosinolates]

The glucosinolates are a large group of hydrophilic, sulphur-containing plant secondary metabolites, occurring mainly in cruciferous family, which have recently attracted intense research interest because of their cancer chemoprotective attributes. Developing the analytical methods is the premises for studying the property of glucosinolates, so that much effort has been devoted to developing methods for efficient isolation and identification of them. In this article, the recent progress on analyzing of glucosinolates was reviewed.
