🍳 Culinary Preparation Vessel
Light Steamed (70°C)Mechanism in Effect
Heat denatures endogenous myrosinase enzyme in broccoli. Adding cold ground mustard seed provides active plant myrosinase, hydrolyzing glucoraphanin into anti-cancer sulforaphane.

1
Substrate Availability
Glucoraphanin is stable under moderate heat and remains intact in cooked cruciferous tissue.
2
Enzyme Cleavage / Pairing Action
Exogenous myrosinase from raw mustard seed hydrolyzes the thioglucoside bond.
3
Bioactive Product Yield
Sulforaphane (isothiocyanate) rapidly diffuses across the intestinal epithelium to upregulate Nrf2 phase-II detox pathways.
PDCAAS & Essential Amino Acid Profile (WHO Daily Requirement Reference = 100%):
Limiting Amino Acid: Lysine (54% of target) — Pair with Black Beans or Lentils to complete.
Carotenoid (Beta-Carotene / Lutein) Micellar Absorption vs Dietary Lipid Mass:
Current Fat: 14gCarotenoids require bile salts and dietary triglycerides to form mixed micelles for enterocyte brush-border uptake. 6g–12g of lipid reaches the saturation inflection threshold.
