Evaluation of the antioxidant potential of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea) from a glucosinolate content perspective

► GLSs, mainly glucobrassicin have antioxidant activity in ORAC and SRSA assays. ► There is no synergy or antagonism between GLSs. ► Breakdown products of GLSs are far more active than the native GLSs. ► Contribution of GLSs to antioxidant activity of cauliflower seems low.
