The compounds were identified and quantified by comparing the chromatography with the authentic standards.
The compounds were relatively quantified against sinigrin.
All values are mean±SD (n=3).
Means with different superscript letters (a-c) in the same row are significantly different (p<0.05) by Duncan’s multiple range test.
Means with different superscript letters (A-I) in the same column are significantly different (p<0.05) by Duncan’s multiple range test.
