Informação sobre produto

• Nome: Gluconapin potassium
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descrição: Gluconapin potassium is a naturally occurring compound classified as a glucosinolate, which is derived from plants in the Brassicaceae family, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and mustard. As a secondary metabolite, it serves vital ecological functions, providing the plants with a chemical defense against herbivores and pathogens. When plant tissues are damaged, glucosinolates like gluconapin are hydrolyzed by the enzyme myrosinase to produce biologically active compounds such as nitriles, thiocyanates, and isothiocyanates. These hydrolysis products act as deterrents to herbivores and possess antimicrobial properties, contributing to the plant's survival.
