Abstract
Glucosinolates in myrosinase-inactivated commercial meal of Brassica napus or in a concentrated extract of the meal were fed to weanling mice at 12.5 to 50.0 μmoles per g of diet. Weight gains and feed intakes were depressed when the glucosinolate exceeded 25 μmoles per g. Digestion of glucosinolate in the two forms was compared by measuring the amounts excreted in the feces. The concentrated glucosinolate was more "digestible" than that in the meal. When glucosinolate was fed to rats, 46% was found in the caecum and large intestine after four hours and 31% was decomposed and/or absorbed in the caecum and the large intestine after 24 hours.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
