Recorded constituents

What analytical work has found in this species, at which plant part and preparation. A measured constituent is a fact about material, not about effect.

Substance	Plant part	Preparation	Concentration	Analytical method	Source
Glucosinolates	Shoot	Solvent extraction	≥ 37 Millimole/kilogram	Standard Chromatographic tests (paper- thin layer- and column chromatography)	Resolve DOI
Glucosinolates	Leaves	Solvent extraction	—	High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)/Liquid Chromatography (LC)	Resolve DOI
Glucosinolates	Shoot	Solvent extraction	≤ 66 Millimole/kilogram	Standard Chromatographic tests (paper- thin layer- and column chromatography)	Resolve DOI
Allyl isothiocyanate	Seed	Essential oil	—	Gaschromatography (GC)	No resolvable identifier
Sinigrin	Seed	Solvent extraction	—	Gaschromatography (GC)	No resolvable identifier

Boundary

A constituent measurement is a fact about material at a stated preparation, not a statement about what that material does in a person. An adverse-effect or genotoxicity record is an observation reported in a source, most often in an animal or laboratory model. Neither is a Metatron Health conclusion about causality, human risk or benefit, and the absence of a record is not proof that a preparation is safe. Nothing here is diagnosis, prescribing or individual medical care.
