It is produced when the enzyme myrosinase transforms glucoraphanin, a glucosinolate, into sulforaphane on damage to the plant (such as from chewing), which allows the two compounds to mix and react.
Sulforaphane waxaa la soo saaraa marka enzyme myrosinase uu u beddelo glucoraphanin, glucosinolate, oo loo beddelo sulforaphane dhaawaca soo gaadha warshadda (sida cunidda), taas oo u oggolaaneysa labada xeryood inay isku daraan oo ay falceliyaan.
