Abstrakt: Intact glucosinolates in seeds and meals of rapeseed and canola were isolated and purified on small DEA ion-exchange columns. After being eluted with potassium sulfate the glucosinolates were hydrolyzed with sulfuric acid to produce thioglucose which was determined as a complex with thymol. The method was compared to a gas liquid chromatography (GLC) procedure which determines aliphatic glucosinolates. The extra amount of glucosnilates found (ca. 14 ]gmmol/g oil-free) was equal to the sum of those not determined by GLC. The thymol method had a standard error of ±3 µmol/g compared with a standard error of ±1 µmol/g for the GLC procedure for the same set of 18 samples ranging from 10 µmol/g to 100 µmol/g (oil-free, 8.5% moisture basis) of aliphatic glucosinolates.
