Popis: Vegetables from the Brassica species are excellent sources of glucosinolates (GLSs), the precursors of health-promoting isothiocyanates (ITCs). Fermentation enhances the biotransformation of GLSs into potential bioactive ITCs. To explore the biotransformation of GLSs during Brassica fermentation, the changes in GLSs during the fermentation of two Brassica species (i.e., cauliflower and broccoli); the formation of corresponding breakdown products; and the shifts in physicochemical parameters, bacterial communities, and myrosinase activities involved in GLSs degradation were systematically investigated. Nine aliphatic, three indolic, and two benzenic GLSs were identified in fermented cauliflower (FC) and fermented broccoli (FB). Aliphatic glucoiberin and glucoraphanin were the major forms of GLS in FC and FB, respectively; indolic glucobrassicin was also abundant in both FC and FB. The total GLS content decreased by 85.29% and 65.48% after 3 d of fermentation in FC and FB, respectively. After 2 d of fermentation, a significant increase in bioactive GLS degradation products (P
