Abstract
Products containing juices and or extracts from Brassicaceae plants are notorious for their obnoxious odor. This odor is a result of the myrosinase-glucosinolate system found in the family of plants. The present invention relates to Brassicaceae products (particularly red cabbage pigments) and provides treatments using enzyme(s) and chromatography to prevent, or significantly reduce the formation of off-odors.
