Glucosinolates and myrosinase activity in moringa oleifera
Studies were carried out on analysis of glucosinolates, a class of phytochemicals of Moringa oleifera spesies by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Intact glucosinolates from Moringa oleifera leaves, flowers, pods and root were extracted with hot methanol-water (70:30) m...
