Study On Horseradish (Armoracia Rusticana) Essential Oil And Comparison With The Related Species – Debreceni Horseradish (Armoracia Macrocarpa).

Abstract

Armoracia rusticana G. Gaertn., B. Mey. & Scherb. (commonly known as horseradish) is well known for the irritating, pungent smell and bitter taste. In Hungary, horseradish has been cultivated and used extensively in food industry, as well as in traditional medicine. Characteristic smell, taste and possible pharmacological effects comes from the plant' s essential oil. Developing essential oil extracting technology is not only proved to be useful for economical purpose, but also for scientific research due to the high content of isothiocyanate, a potential anti-carcinogenic agent present in the essential oil. Therefore, this study starts with the development of oil extracting technology, first in laboratory-scaled and then medium-scaled distillation. The efficiency of the new technology is taken under investigation by examining the yield of extracted oil, the completion of extraction process and the quality (content) of essential oil. Although there have been studies on horseradish’s isothiocyanates content, at the moment of this study, there has been no analytical investigation on neither isothiocyanate, glucosinolate profile nor the enzymatic activities in horseradish cultivated in Hungary. The analytical study starts with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis on horseradish essential oil in order to reveal the full profile of horseradish isothiocyanates, which was compared to data collected from literature after for checking the quality of the extracted oil. The second part of the analytical study concentrates on development of the novel capillary electrophoresis method for instantly separation and detection of isothiocyanates and their parent molecules (glucosinolates) as well as revealing activity of myrosinase enzyme on the conversion of glucosinolates into isothiocyanate. Armoracia macrocarpa (Waldst. & Kit.) Baumg. or Debreceni horseradish, is the relative species of Armoracia rusticana. Debreceni horseradish has been used for condiment purpose and known as “sweet radish”. Unlike its famous relative, there is neither information on Armoracia macrocarpa' s phytochemistry, anatomical structure nor enzymatic activities. The final part of this study gives the comparison on glucosinolate contents (by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry), anatomical structure (by cross sections) and enzymatic activities (by gel electrophoresis and spectrophotometry) between Armoracia rusticana and Armoracia macrocarpa.

6.1. ITCs inhibi ca cinogen-ac i a ing enzymes and induce ca cinogen-

The unde lying pha macology mechanisms o ITCs on cance cells could be
due o he possibili ies o inhibi ing ca cinogen-ac i a ing enzymes and

he side chain –R because o he s e ic hind ance e ec on he elec ophilic C

1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
1.1. My osinase
My osinase' s s uc u e and p ope ies – As men ioned ea lie , my osinase
plays a c ucial ole in he hyd olysis eac ion o GLS. Ho se adish my osinase
(β- hioglucoside glucohyd olase) is an S-glucosidase enzyme whose (β/α) 8-
ba el s uc u e consis s o wo simila subuni s wi h a molecula weigh o 65
kDa linked by a zinc a om (Zhang 2010). To make con ac wi h GLS,
ho se adish my osinase equi es a hyd oxyl g oup on C2 o he glucose moie y
o GLS and a nucleophilic glu ama e o ca aly ic ac i i y (Fahey, Zalcmann,
and Talalay 2001).
In B assicaceae, my osinases a e gene ally classi ied based on he place whe e
hey can be ound in he plan . The e a e h ee subg oups in his enzyme amily,
my osinase A, my osinase B, and my osinase C (MA, MB, and MC,
espec i ely). MA and MC can be ound only in he seed issue, whe eas MB
can be ound in mos issues o he plan . Conside ing his poin , ho se adish
my osinase should belong in he MB subg oup bu classi ica ion ge s mo e
complica ed because ho se adish my osinase possesses a wa e -soluble
p ope y, whe eas MB my osinase does no . This leads o he hypo hesis ha
ho se adish my osinase may belong o an uniden i ied subg oup o he
my osinase amily. My osinase is no subs a e speci ic. Ho se adish
my osinase no only ca alyzes he hyd olysis o GLSs ound in ho se adish such
71
as sinig in, bu can also ca alyze hyd olysis o GLSs ound in di e en o he
species (e.g. in b occoli), wi h a es depending on he subs a e (Li and Kushad
2005).
My osinase' s ac i i ies – The op imum condi ions o ac i i y o my osinase

my osinase ac i i y was no iced om a pH o 3–4, eaching maximum a pH
5.7 and he ac i i y emains high (i.e. >80% o maximum) a pH ange 5–8.
Addi ion o 0.5mM asco bic acid can signi ican ly s imula e ho se adish
my osinase, possibly due o a con o ma ion change in he enzyme leading o
inc eased subs a e a ini y o ho se adish my osinase and eac ion eloci y
(Bones and Rossi e 2006). Loss in endogenous asco bic acid was also
sugges ed o cause he dec ease o my osinase ac i i y (A. Dep ee, M. Howa d,
and P. Sa age 1998). In ano he s udy on my osinase isola ed om ho se adish
