A method has been developed to easily separate and quantify glucosinol
ates in mustard and winter cress plants using reversed-phase HPLC with
volatile ion-pairing reagents to modify the mobile phase and enhance
retention and selectivity. Volatile buffers are required for HPLC-elec
trospray mass spectrometry. Confirmation of identity was accomplished
using both negative ion electrospray mass spectrometry and photodiode-
array detection. This method provides a way to determine glucosinolate
s in Brassica and cruciferous vegetables, most of which are commercial
ly unavailable. Glucosinolates were determined in various parts and se
ctions of yellow and brown domestic mustards and winter cress (wild mu
stard). Results varied from 0.2 mg/g glucosinolate content in the root
s of the plants to 26 mg/g in the seeds.
