Assignment of low-molecular-weight selenometabolites in the root section of white cabbage.

ABSTRACT:

Main conclusion

Quantitative and qualitative selenium speciation analyses of the root of white cabbage reveal the presence of elemental Se, selenate, selenomethionine and deaminated derivatives of selenohomolanthionine. White cabbage (Brassica oleracea convar. capitata var. alba) is one of the most consumed vegetable brassicas of the Brassica oleracea species whose production is compatible with the recent strip-till and no-till type farming policies. White cabbage has been in the focus of selenium research for decades as a possible source of food-derived selenium supplementation; however, the root section of the plant has hardly been targeted, being a by-product that is left in or plowed into the soil to serve as an organic fertilizer. The root of selenium-enriched white cabbage, p
