Summary

A simple, economical and efficient HPLC method has been developed for the separation and determination of the individual glucosinolates in rapessed and mustard. The method involves single-step extraction of glucosinolates with boiling water and separation of the individual glucosinolates on a Novapack RP-18 column (3.9 mm ×150mm) with 0.2 M ammonium sulphate as mobile phase. Peaks were monitored at 229 nm. All major glucosinolates could be eluted within 10 min. The method proved effective for routine analysis of glucosinolates.
