Abstract
The total content and the composition of the constituents of glucosinolates were analyzed in 51 samples of 6 species of 5 genera of the Brassicaceae family. The twenty-one component of the profile of glucosinolates, including fifteen aliphatic glucosinolates, four insole glucosinolates, and two aromatic glucosinolates, were revealed. The wide potential of variability of the constituent composition of glucosinolates was found, which allows to use the cabbage plants to various purposes, such as a valuable foodstuff and for fumigation of soils. All studied samples of Sinapsis alba L. and six samples of Brassica juncea Czen, which possess a high (more than 40 I¼mol/g) concentration of sinalbin and sinigrin, correspondingly, are recommended for biofumigation. It was revealed that the glucosinolates of Brassica rapa L. contain 17 constituents. For the first time, samples of the variety that have an increased value of constituent composition of glucosinolates for balanced food of people were found. These varieties are recommended for use in breeding, including for medical purposes, and for the completion of assortment of cabbage vegetables.
