Abstract
The family Brassicaceae has been very studied due to the pharmacologic properties of the glucosinolates (GLS)
and their hydrolysis products, which are associated with the action of an endogenous thioglucosidase myrosinase.
Factors such as climate, soil, genotype, seasonal variation, processing, extraction quantification can affect the
enzyme activity and stability, leading to increase or decrease the hydrolysis of GLS. Based on this aspect, the
main objective of this work is present a review concerning the glucosinolate-myrosinase system, influence of
climate and genotype to seasonal variation in the glucosinolate-myrosinase system, effect of thermal and high
hydrostatic pressure treatments on the GLS content, as well as, the isolation and quantification of GLS from
Brassica.
