Glucosinolates are naturally occurring S-linked glucosides that are enzymatically hydrolyzed to produce D-glucose, sulfate ions, and characteristic degradation products like isothiocyanates. Beneficial effects of glucosinolates such as regulatory functions in inflammation, antioxidant activities, antimicrobial properties, stress response, and others have been influencing their adoption across various industries in the recent times. Increasing use of such chemicals as raw materials in nutraceuticals production in order to promote liver, lungs, and heart health is likely to favor the development of glucosinolates market. In addition, ever-growing demand for food and animal feed is expected to fuel growth of the glucosinolates market as the compound has always made major contribution to the diets of human as well as farm animals.
