Glucobrassicin is a mustard oil glycoside (also glucosinolate ), mainly in broccoli, cabbage, and woad ( Isatis tinctoria ) can be found and there is an insect repellent effect. It plays a role in the prevention of cancer, particularly in breast cancer, since it can neutralize toxins in the body, including estrogen derivatives. Recently, thanks to the extraction methods and the discovery of the high content of the woad, a up to 65 -fold higher yield in the recovery of woad compared to broccoli can be achieved.
