Patent ID: 8784856

Claim:
A method for converting glucosinolate in a glucosinolate-containing plant material to glucosinolate breakdown products (GBPs), comprising: providing an amount of processed glucosinolate-containing plant material, the processed plant material being depleted of oil and glucosinolate converting enzyme activity by virtue of said processing; providing an amount of exogenous glucosinolate converting enzyme activity comprising a thioglucosidase; contacting or mixing the processed glucosinolate-containing plant material with the amount of exogenous glucosinolate converting enzyme activity comprising the thioglucosidase to provide a mixture; hydrating the mixture; and incubating the hydrated mixture, wherein the glucosinolates in the processed glucosinolate-containing plant material are enzymatically converted to glucosinolate breakdown products (GBPs) by the exogenously provided glucosinolate converting enzyme activity comprising the thioglucosidase.
