- Sulforaphane is believed to provide various health benefits, including potential anti-cancer benefits, as described by Horakova et al., Cytotoxic and Cancerostatic Activity of Isothiocyanates and Related Compounds, Neoplasma, Vol. 15, No. 2 (1968). Sulforaphane is an unstable and reactive product. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide a nutritional supplement containing components that, when ingested, react within the intestines to provide a source of sulforaphane. The release of sulforaphane in the intestine allows the sulforaphane to be absorbed by the body.
- sulforaphane facilitates detoxification of xenobiotics and other toxins by the liver.
- Sulforaphane is also a bi-functional inducer of Phase II enzymes, elevating some Phase II enzymes while down regulating others.
- Glucoraphanin also known as sulforaphane glucosinolate
- Myrosinase is an enzyme also contained in broccoli seeds, sprouts and florets. Myrosinase hydrolyzes glucoraphanin (a glucosinolate) to release sulforaphane (an isothiocyanate). This reaction is redirected to sulforaphane nitrile by epithiospecifier protein (ESP), which is also present in broccoli seeds, sprouts and florets.
- ESP epithiospecifier protein
- ESP can be deactivated by heating the broccoli product to a temperature above 140° F., but care must be taken to avoid higher temperatures, as myrosinase can itself be deactivated at temperatures of about 185° F. and above.
- glucoraphanin rich meal In producing a nutritional supplement using broccoli seeds or sprouts, it is generally desirable to first produce a glucoraphanin rich meal, as it is the glucoraphanin that provides a source of sulforaphane. Higher concentrations of glucoraphanin in the meal can result in release of more sulforaphane from the nutritional supplement.
- SCFE supercritical fluid extraction
- Natural oils can comprise 30% to 50% of the weight of the broccoli seed or sprout.
- broccoli seeds, sprouts or florets are deoiled by SCFE using carbon dioxide.
- the broccoli material is first ground, milled, chopped or flaked. Flake rolling opens or stretches the cells to allow access of the supercritical CO 2 to the cells for extraction of the oils.
- the broccoli material is then fed into a supercritical CO 2 chamber for batch-wise supercritical extraction of the oil to create a glucoraphanin rich meal.
- pressure and time used for the SCFE process up to 98% of the oil in the broccoli material can be extracted.
- the myrosinase in the broccoli material is typically deactivated before or during the SCFE process.
- Prior nutritional supplements then combined the glucoraphanin rich meal with myrosinase obtained separately from broccoli or other sources.
- Various processes for water extraction of myrosinase from broccoli or other crucifers that contain myrosinase are known. These or other processes have been used in the past to provide myrosinase.
- the present invention provides a nutritional supplement, and a process for producing the nutritional supplement, in which a first deoiled broccoli powder which is rich in glucoraphanin is combined with a second broccoli powder containing active myrosinase.
- two broccoli based materials are each treated and then combined to produce a nutritional supplement.
- a first material comprising a glucoraphanin rich meal produced from broccoli seeds or sprouts is combined with a second material in which broccoli seeds have been treated to deactivate the ESP while maintaining activity of the myrosinase.
- the first and second broccoli materials are combined in an acid resistant or enteric coated capsule.
- the first and second broccoli materials are released in the intestines under conditions in which the glucoraphanin in the first material is hydrolyzed by the myrosinase in the second material to release sulforaphane.
- ascorbate may be added to the nutritional supplement. Small amounts of ascorbate at the multiple reaction sites on the myrosinase enzyme facilitates the conversion of the glucoraphanin to sulforaphane in the intestine.
- the present invention also relates to an improved process for providing a source of myrosinase for a nutritional supplement, and to nutritional supplements containing the myrosinase source.
- broccoli seed is first prepared for extraction of oils using known techniques, such as for example by flaking and rolling. Flaking and rolling stretches the cells to allow access of the supercritical CO 2 to the cells for extraction of the oils.

- the broccoli seed is treated using carbon dioxide as the extraction fluid.
- the SCFE process is conducted at pressures of up to about 600 bar and a temperature of about 185° F. This process produces a seed meal containing 1-2% or less oil.
- a second quantity of flake rolled broccoli seed is partially deoiled using SCFE at temperatures sufficient to deactivate the ESP while preserving the myrosinase.
- Any appropriate fluid may be used in the SCFE process.
- supercritical carbon dioxide is used in the SCFE process. Carbon dioxide is preferred because it provides for safe handling and disposal.
- the prepared broccoli seed is treated using carbon dioxide a pressure of 275 to 325 bar, and at a temperature of between 140° F. to 163° F.

Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §120 to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/910,576 filed on Jun. 5, 2013, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/655,569 filed on Jun. 5, 2012, the entire contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present invention is directed, in one aspect, to a nutritional supplement containing components that, when ingested, react in the intestines to provide a source of sulforaphane. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to a process for producing the nutritional supplement. In particular, the present invention can provide a broccoli based nutritional supplement preserving the natural broccoli seed matrix.
- Sulforaphane is believed to provide various health benefits, including potential anti-cancer benefits, as described by Horakova et al., Cytotoxic and Cancerostatic Activity of Isothiocyanates and Related Compounds, Neoplasma, Vol. 15, No. 2 (1968). Sulforaphane is an unstable and reactive product. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide a nutritional supplement containing components that, when ingested, react within the intestines to provide a source of sulforaphane. The release of sulforaphane in the intestine allows the sulforaphane to be absorbed by the body. This is believed to be beneficial because sulforaphane facilitates detoxification of xenobiotics and other toxins by the liver. Sulforaphane is also a bi-functional inducer of Phase II enzymes, elevating some Phase II enzymes while down regulating others.
- It is generally desirable to produce nutritional supplements using natural products. Glucoraphanin, also known as sulforaphane glucosinolate, is a sulfonated (sulfur-bearing) sugar contained in various crucifers, including broccoli seeds, sprouts and florets. Myrosinase is an enzyme also contained in broccoli seeds, sprouts and florets. Myrosinase hydrolyzes glucoraphanin (a glucosinolate) to release sulforaphane (an isothiocyanate). This reaction is redirected to sulforaphane nitrile by epithiospecifier protein (ESP), which is also present in broccoli seeds, sprouts and florets. ESP can be deactivated by heating the broccoli product to a temperature above 140° F., but care must be taken to avoid higher temperatures, as myrosinase can itself be deactivated at temperatures of about 185° F. and above.
- In producing a nutritional supplement using broccoli seeds or sprouts, it is generally desirable to first produce a glucoraphanin rich meal, as it is the glucoraphanin that provides a source of sulforaphane. Higher concentrations of glucoraphanin in the meal can result in release of more sulforaphane from the nutritional supplement. There are various known methods that may be used to produce a glucoraphanin rich meal. For example, it has been known to produce a glucoraphanin rich meal using supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE) to remove the natural oils present in the broccoli. Natural oils can comprise 30% to 50% of the weight of the broccoli seed or sprout. In one process for producing a glucoraphanin rich meal, described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2009/0081138, broccoli seeds, sprouts or florets are deoiled by SCFE using carbon dioxide. The broccoli material is first ground, milled, chopped or flaked. Flake rolling opens or stretches the cells to allow access of the supercritical CO2 to the cells for extraction of the oils. The broccoli material is then fed into a supercritical CO2 chamber for batch-wise supercritical extraction of the oil to create a glucoraphanin rich meal. Depending upon the temperature, pressure and time used for the SCFE process, up to 98% of the oil in the broccoli material can be extracted.
- To avoid unwanted reaction of myrosinase with the glucoraphanin, the myrosinase in the broccoli material is typically deactivated before or during the SCFE process. Prior nutritional supplements then combined the glucoraphanin rich meal with myrosinase obtained separately from broccoli or other sources. Various processes for water extraction of myrosinase from broccoli or other crucifers that contain myrosinase are known. These or other processes have been used in the past to provide myrosinase.
- It would be desirable to have a broccoli based nutritional supplement in which myrosinase is provided in its natural form in broccoli. Accordingly, the present invention provides a nutritional supplement, and a process for producing the nutritional supplement, in which a first deoiled broccoli powder which is rich in glucoraphanin is combined with a second broccoli powder containing active myrosinase.
- In the present invention, two broccoli based materials are each treated and then combined to produce a nutritional supplement. A first material comprising a glucoraphanin rich meal produced from broccoli seeds or sprouts is combined with a second material in which broccoli seeds have been treated to deactivate the ESP while maintaining activity of the myrosinase. The first and second broccoli materials are combined in an acid resistant or enteric coated capsule. When ingested, the first and second broccoli materials are released in the intestines under conditions in which the glucoraphanin in the first material is hydrolyzed by the myrosinase in the second material to release sulforaphane. To further enhance the conversion, ascorbate may be added to the nutritional supplement. Small amounts of ascorbate at the multiple reaction sites on the myrosinase enzyme facilitates the conversion of the glucoraphanin to sulforaphane in the intestine.
- The present invention also relates to an improved process for providing a source of myrosinase for a nutritional supplement, and to nutritional supplements containing the myrosinase source. In the process of the present invention, broccoli seed is first prepared for extraction of oils using known techniques, such as for example by flaking and rolling. Flaking and rolling stretches the cells to allow access of the supercritical CO2 to the cells for extraction of the oils.
- A first quantity of flake rolled broccoli seed is deoiled by SCFE to remove a large quantity of the oil in the seeds using known techniques, such as those described in U.S. Patent Application No. 2009/0081138. In one embodiment, the broccoli seed is treated using carbon dioxide as the extraction fluid. In the present invention, the SCFE process is conducted at pressures of up to about 600 bar and a temperature of about 185° F. This process produces a seed meal containing 1-2% or less oil.
- A second quantity of flake rolled broccoli seed is partially deoiled using SCFE at temperatures sufficient to deactivate the ESP while preserving the myrosinase. Any appropriate fluid may be used in the SCFE process. In one embodiment, supercritical carbon dioxide is used in the SCFE process. Carbon dioxide is preferred because it provides for safe handling and disposal.
- The prepared broccoli seed is treated using carbon dioxide a pressure of 275 to 325 bar, and at a temperature of between 140° F. to 163° F. In one embodiment, the prepared broccoli seed is treated at 300 bar and a temperature of 145° F. At this temperature, myrosinase is not deactivated, while ESP is deactivated and pathogens are killed. The prepared broccoli seed may be treated in a batch process or a continuous process. The time for the treatment may be adjusted to achieve the desired degree of deoiling. In one embodiment, the prepared seed is treated in a batch process for a period of 2-3 hours. The resulting broccoli seed product contains active myrosinase and deactivated ESP. This process results in a seed meal that contains 20-30% of the original volume of oil. This natural broccoli seed oil has been shown in stability testing to preserve the viability of the myrosinase enzyme.
- The deoiled prepared broccoli seed may be combined with the glucoraphanin rich meal prepared as described above to produce a nutritional supplement that will provide a source of sulforaphane in the intestine when ingested. The proportion of each component may be adjusted depending upon the levels of glucoraphanin in the meal and myrosinase in the deoiled seed. Typically, the proportion of deoiled prepared broccoli seed to glucoraphanin rich meal will be in the range of 1:3 to 1:1. The invention is not limited in this regard, and any desired proportion of the first and second broccoli materials may be used in the nutritional supplement.
- The nutritional supplement may be sized to provide the desired amount of sulforaphane when ingested. For example, the total weight of active ingredients may range from 100 mg to 1000 mg or more. In one embodiment, the nutritional supplement comprises about 150 mg of deoiled prepared broccoli seed and about 325 mg of glucoraphanin rich meal.
- The nutritional supplement may also contain an ascorbate, such as calcium ascorbate. Calcium ascorbate is known to increase the activity of myrosinase. Calcium ascorbate is provided in small amounts relative to the other components of the supplement typically 0.1 mg or less. In the embodiment described above, the calcium ascorbate is present in an amount of about 0.004 mg.
- The nutritional supplement may be provided a capsule. The capsule may be acid resistant or have an enteric coating to avoid having the contents of the capsule released in the stomach and degraded.
- A first quantity of broccoli seed meal was produced by the following process. Approximately 1 kg of broccoli seed was prepared for treatment by flaking and rolling. The broccoli seed contains approximately 40% by weight oil. A counter rotating flake roller was set at 0.005 gap, and the raw seed was fed slowly by gravity. The result was the formation of a “potato chip” type of appearance. The prepared broccoli seed was placed in a SCFE chamber and treated at about 600 bar and about 185° F. for 1.5-2 hours hours using CO2 as the solvent. The resulting seed meal contained approximately 1-3% oil by weight in the finished product. The resulting product is a glucoraphanin rich meal with the myrosinase and the ESP in the meal both deactivated.
- A second quantity of broccoli seed meal was produced by the following process. Approximately 1 kg of broccoli seed containing approximately 40% by weight oil was prepared for treatment by flaking and rolling. A counter rotating flake roller was set at 0.005 gap, and the raw seed was fed slowly by gravity. The result was the formation of a “potato chip” type of appearance. The prepared broccoli seed was placed in a SCFE chamber and treated at about 300 bar and about 140° F. for 3-3.5 hours using CO2 as the solvent. The resulting seed meal contained approximately 8-10% oil by weight. The resulting product contains active, stable myrosinase with the ESP deactivated.
- A nutritional supplement was prepared by combining 325 mg of the glucoraphanin rich meal of Example 1 with 125 mg of the product of Example 2, and 0.004 mg of calcium ascorbate. An acid resistant capsule was filled with the materials to produce the nutritional supplement.
- The nutritional supplement of Example 3 was tested in vitro to determine the amount of sulforaphane released from the supplement when dissolved in water. Approximately 0.65 moles of sulforaphane were released for every mole of glucoraphanin in the supplement. This compares to a release of 0.15 moles of sulforaphane per mole of glucoraphanin from natural, untreated broccoli. The nutritional supplement of Example 3 can release up to about 8 mg of sulforaphane in the intestine.
- One advantage of the present invention is that an all natural or organic nutritional supplement can be provided that can release sulforaphane in the intestines. Another advantage of the present invention is that by using the deoiled broccoli products, micronutrients in the broccoli material in addition to the sulforaphane are available in the nutritional supplement. Other advantages of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
- As will be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art based upon the teaching herein, numerous changes and modifications may be made to the above-described and other embodiments of the invention without departing from its scope as defined in the appended claims. For example, the relative quantities of the ingredients may be varied or additional ingredients may be added to the nutritional supplement. Accordingly, the description of preferred embodiments provided above is to be taken in an illustrative rather than a limiting sense.
