Glucotropaeolin Potassium Salt is primarily used in research settings to study the biosynthesis and metabolism of glucosinolates, a group of sulfur-containing compounds found in cruciferous vegetables. It serves as a key substrate in enzymatic assays to investigate the activity of myrosinase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes glucosinolates into bioactive compounds like isothiocyanates. These bioactive compounds are of interest for their potential health benefits, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and chemopreventive properties. Additionally, it is utilized in agricultural studies to explore plant defense mechanisms against pests and pathogens. In the food industry, it aids in understanding the flavor and nutritional profiles of cruciferous vegetables, contributing to the development of functional foods and dietary supplements.
