Complex‐Formation between Glucosinolates and Tetrachloropalladate(II) and its Utilization in Plant Breeding

Abstract

Abstract A method is described which allows a fast determination of the content of glucosinolates in cruciferous seeds. Basically the reaction between glucosinolates and tetrachloropalladate (II) is used. For the quantitative measurement of the resulting coordination complexes an 8‐channel photometer is recommended. Furthermore an analytical grist‐mill has been constructed which allows a fast preparation of the samples.
