Broccoli and cabbage are known to have antioxidant, cholesterol-lowering, and anticancer effects due to their high bioactive component levels. This study applied 70% ethanol and hydrothermal extraction to separate bioactive components from broccoli and cabbage. 30oBrix extracts were freeze-dried and then diluted in various concentrations with distilled water for analysis. Total polyphenol contents, DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, ferric ion reducing antioxidant power, and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity were analyzed. The diverse antioxidant assays, except DPPH radical scavenging activity, showed that hydrothermal extracts had significantly higher activity than the 70% ethanol extracts (p<0.05). In this study, it suggested that hydrothermal extraction is relatively effective in producing broccoli and cabbage extracts. Moreover, hydrothermal extraction conditions could be low-cost and environmentally friendly.

For appropriate nutrient management and enhanced plant growth, soil sensors which reflect soil nutrient levels are required. Because there is no available sensor for nutrient monitoring, electrical conductivity (EC) sensor can be used to evaluate soil nutrient levels. Soil nutrient management using EC sensors would be possible by understanding the relationship between sensor EC values and soil temperature, moisture, and nutrient content. However, the relationship between soil sensor EC values and plant available nutrients was not investigated. Therefore, the objectives of the study were to evaluate effect of different amount of urea on soil EC monitored by sensors during pepper and broccoli cultivation and to predict the plant available nutrient contents in soil. During the cultivation period, soil was collected periodically for analyzing pH and EC, and the available nutrient contents. The sensor EC value increased as the moisture content increased, and low fertilizer treated soil showed the lowest EC value. Principal component analysis was performed to determine the relationship between sensor EC and available nutrients in soil. Sensor EC showed a strong positive correlation with nitrate nitrogen and available Ca. In addition, sum of available nutrients such as Ca, Mg, K, P, S and N was positively related to the sensor EC values. Therefore, EC sensors in open field can be used to predict plant available nutrient levels for proper management of the soil.

In order to examine the functionality of broccoli sprout (Brassica oleracea, BS), solvent extracts were prepared and their anti-oxidative and immunomodulating activities were compared with those of broccoli (B). EtOH extracts (E) were potently higher than hot-water extracts (HW) in the antioxidant contents and radical scavenging activity. In particular, the total polyphenolic contents in addition to ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activity were significantly higher in EtOH extract of broccoli sprout (BS-E; 9.15 mg GAE/g, 4.52 mg AEAC/g, and 1.14 mg AEAC/g) compared with that of broccoli (B-E; 7.83 mg GAE/g, 3.63 mg AEAC/g, and 0.97 mg/AEAC/g). Whereas, total flavonoid content was significantly higher in B-E (1.60 mg QE/g) than BS-E (1.43 mg QE/g). Anti-inflammatory activity was investigated using LPS-induced cell line model at a concentration of 10~100 μg/mL, in which all solvent extracts of both broccoli sprouts and broccoli were not toxic to RAW 264.7 cell lines. In anti-inflammatory activity of broccoli sprouts, EtOH extracts also showed significantly more potent activity than hot-water extracts in all sample concentrations tested. In addition, BS-E (100 μg/mL) inhibited nitric oxide (NO) and IL-6 production to 60.9% and 68.9% compared with the LPS inflammation group (without extracts), whereas B-E inhibited 49.6% and 54.9%. On the other hand, in immunostimulating activity by splenocytes and macrophages, hot-water extract showed significantly higher activity than EtOH extract. Especially, BS-HW stimulated the splenocyte proliferation (1.2-fold against saline group) and IFN-γ production (264.39 pg/mL) at 100 μg/mL, and the production of IL-6 (1.33-fold), IL-12 (1.09-fold) and TNF-α (1.49-fold) from macrophages was also significantly enhanced over broccoli. In conclusion, broccoli sprouts showed more potent anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and immunostimulating activity than broccoli, suggesting the possibility of using broccoli sprouts as functional food materials.

This study investigated the effect of natural and chemical food additives on the oxidative quality and shelf life of fried-balls used in Udong. Specifically, we evaluated the antioxidant activity of hot water extracts from broccoli added to fried-balls. When treated with antioxidants, fried-balls exhibited lower acid and peroxide values than that of the control group (untreated fried-balls). In addition, the analysis of GC/MS revealed that the contents of unsaturated fatty acids in the fried balls treated with antioxidants were higher than that of the untreated fried-balls, suggesting that the antioxidants slowed the oxidation. Our results showed that broccoli extract was effective in inhibiting oxidation of fried balls used in Udong. Therefore, these antioxidants might be used as food additives to preserve fried balls and consequently extend the shelf-life.

For the purpose of developing new immunomodulatory agents from broccoli, ethanol extract (BCEE), hot water extract (BCHW), and crude polysaccharide (BCCP) were isolated from broccoli, and their immunomodulatory activities and chemical properties were examined. In the in vitro cytotoxicity analysis, BCHW and BCCP did not affect the growth of tumor cells and normal cells. Murine peritoneal macrophages stimulated with BCCP showed higher production of IL-6, IL-12, and TNF- α cytokines than those stimulated with BCHW. Also, BCHW and BCCP did not show proliferation of splenic lymphocytes. In the in vitro assay for intestinal immunomodulatory activities, only BCCP enhanced GM-CSF secretion and the bone marrow cell-proliferating activity via cells in Peyer’s patches at 1,000 μg/mL. Also, BCHW mainly contained 33.7% neutral sugars, such as arabinose, glucose, and galactose, and 30.7% uronic acid, and BCCP consisted of 42.6% neutral sugars, including arabinose, galactose, and glucose, and 50.5% uronic acid. The above results lead us to conclude that crude polysaccharide (BCCP) isolated from broccoli causes considerably high cytokine production in peritoneal macrophages and bone marrow cell proliferation, and the polysaccharide extraction process is indispensable for separation of new immunomodulatory agents from broccoli.

This study was designed to determine the antioxidant activity of solvent fractions of broccoli sprouts grown by controlling the growing environment at the plant factory system. Fractionation was achieved with chloroform, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol, water by 70% EtOH extract of the broccoli sprouts. Each solvent fraction was put through TLC and HPLC to separate active components. Higher antioxidant activities were observed for the butanol and ethyl acetate layers. Further evaluation of each of the 5 layers (LH1 to LH5) of the butanol fraction showed that the refined LH3 extract had a high antioxidant effect. Components with similar Rf values from TLC had the same retention times and peaks in the HPLC analysis. It was also determined that the sulforaphane content was high at the chloroform and butanol layers and the sulforaphane was responsible for, the high antioxidant activity. Thus, to use for functional materials, the butanol extract/layer of broccoli sprouts is recommended as the most effective.

Recently, an interest in functional foods has been increasing. It was recommended placing a short definition. Therefore, we performed research on the chemical functions and antioxidant ability of broccoli. This research is vital for preparing the most favorable conditions and environment for highly-functional broccoli. Broccoli produced after applying sprouting and light sources were used for research. The chemical properties of the broccoli, including composition, free sugar, citric acid, mineral and vitamin (A, C, E) content, were analyzed. In addition, the ability of broccoli compounds to reduce total phenolic compounds, SOD-liked activity, EDA (electron donating ability), and hydroxyl radicals were inspected. Total analysis relied on the SAS (statistical analysis system). Broccoli sprouts produced through plant factory system's photosynthesis, treated under different light sources, had superior amounts of crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash, compared to normal sprouts under fluorescent light. Is it a facility or does it refer to the inner metabolism of the cell? Broccoli sprouts under red light had superior amounts of glucose, fructose, malic acid, and oxalic acid, while broccoli sprouts under turquoise light had superior amounts of citric acid. Broccoli sprouts under white light had superior amounts of various minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, and sodium. In terms of antioxidant activity, data from the plant factory system shows an increase in EDA antioxidants (1.63 mg/mL, 30.82%). Sprouts applied with turquoise light had superior amounts of hydroxyl radical scavenging (65.62%), and sprouts applied with white light had superior amounts of activated SOD-like activity (52.69%). Research on dehydrated broccoli sprouts showed that sprouts dehydrated with cold air had superior amount of malic, citric, oxalic acid compared to sprouts dehydrated with hot air. In terms of vitamin levels, sprouts dehydrated with cold air had five times the normal amount of vitamin A and E, whereas sprouts dehydrated with hot air had higher amounts of vitamin C. Dehydration at low temperature also produced a higher amount of activated antioxidants (1.6 mg/mL of activated antioxidant ability, 63.04% of SOD-like activity, and 67.76% of hydroxyl radical scavenging). Our results show that antioxidant ability can vary by the type of photosynthesis and temperature level in which the sprouts are dehydrated. Therefore, thorough foundational data is required to product the most functional broccoli.

Broccoli has a functional substance, sulforaphane that has effects of anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. Sulforaphane, one of the hydrolysis products of glucoraphanin in broccoli, cabbage and kale, was contributed to the role of antioxidant. Broccoli contains a number of bioactive compounds including glucosinolates, S-methyl cysteine sulfoxide and many antioxidants. The ethanol extract (BE), hexane extract (BH), propylene glycol extract (BP) and butylenesglycol extract (BB) of broccoli were used to investigate the antioxidation and anti-inflammatory effects of sulforaphane extracts from broccoli. The high scavenging abilities of DPPH, O2 − were observed. Also sulforaphane extracts from broccoli showed the inhibition effect on NO rate. These results demonstrated that sulforaphane extracts from broccoli could be useful as an antioxidation and anti-inflammatory functional ingredient.

A study was undertaken to examine the effect of the addition of coriander leaves(Coriandrum satovim L.) and brocolli stem powder addition on the quality attributes of pound cakes. Coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder was added to the batter, at a ratio of 10, 12.5 and 15%, respectively. The antioxidant activity was estimated by a DPPH free radical scavening activity, the total phenolic compounds content and flavonoid content in coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder and pounds cakes. Antioxidative activity had correlated highly with the total flavonoids contents of coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder of pound cakes, respectively(r=0.9096). The quality characteristics of coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder pound cakes were estimated in terms of the specific load volume, hardness, hunter value of crumb and crust, and the sensory quality of the cakes. The specific volume decreased significantly, with increasingly substituted level of coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder(p<0.01). The lightness was significantly decreased with increases in the coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder of pound cake crust and crumb(p<0.01). The hardness, chewiness and gumminess tended to reduce, and the cohesiveness decrease in both of powder. The consumer acceptability score for 10% coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder of pound cakes ranked significantly(p<0.01) higher than those of the other groups in taste, flavor and color. These results showed that coriander leaves & brocolli stem powder are good ingredients to increase the consumer acceptability and the health.

브로콜리는 항암기능 및 항산화 물질로 알려진 글루코시놀레이트와 플라보노이드를 다량 함유하고 있어 최근 우리나라에서도 생산 및 소비가 급증하고 있는 채소이다. 그러나, 브로콜리는 신선 농산물 중에서 호흡율이 매우 높아 수확 후 품질수명이 짧은 단점을 갖고 있다. 브로콜리의 수확 후 품질에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인으로는 화뢰의 황화현상, 시들음, 이취, 부패 등이 있으며, 1−MCP, 에탄올, UV−C, 열처리 등과같은 수확 후 처리기술을 사용하여 우수한 품질을 유지하는것이 가능하다. 특히 예냉과 저온저장을 포함하는 콜드체인 시스템은 저장 수명 연장 및 우수 품질을 유지하기 위한 가장좋은 방법으로 제시되고 있다. 적정 저장 온도는 0oC, 상대습도는 95~100%가 바람직하며, CA 저장 또는 MA포장을 통해 저장성을 높이는 방법으로 1−2% O2+ 5 − 10% CO2의 공기조성이 제시되고 있다. 건강채소로 각광받고 있는 브로콜리는 수확시기에 따라 가격변동성이 높고, 기후변화에 의한 생산량 예측이 어려워 저장에 따른 품질 유지가 재배농가의 소득에 직접적인 영향을 미친다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 브로콜리의 수확에 따른 생리적 변화 특성을 이해하고, 저장방법 및 유통 단계별 품질 저하를 최소화 할 수 있는 종합적인 관리방법의 연구동향을 파악하고자 하였다.
