Glucosinolates and Omega-3 Fatty Acids from Mustard Seeds: Phytochemistry and Pharmacology

Blog Article

Seeds from mustard (genera Brassica spp.and Sinapsis spp.), are known as a rich source of glucosinolates and omega-3 fatty acids.These compounds are widely known for their health benefits that include Construction reducing inflammation and lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer.This review presented a synthesis of published literature from Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Sci Finder, and Web of Science regarding the different glucosinolates and omega-3 fatty acids isolated from mustard seeds.

We presented an overview of extraction, isolation, purification, and structure elucidation of glucosinolates from the seeds of mustard plants.Moreover, we presented a compilation of in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies showing the potential health benefits of glucosinolates and omega-3 fatty acids.Previous studies showed that glucosinolates have antimicrobial, antipain, and anticancer properties while omega-3 fatty acids are useful for their pharmacologic effects against sleep disorders, anxiety, cerebrovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes.Further studies are needed to investigate other naturally occurring glucosinolates and omega-3 fatty Action Figure acids, improve and standardize the extraction and isolation methods from mustard seeds, and obtain more clinical evidence on the pharmacological applications of glucosinolates and omega-3 fatty acids from mustard seeds.
