Thirty, six rapeseed samples from a factorial designed nitrogen and sulphur trial were analysed for total glucosinolate content by the X-ray fluorescence (X-RF) and HPLC methods and for protein content by the Kjeldahl method. Protein content varied from 16.0 to 22.6%. Correction for seed protein content in the calculation of glucosinolate content by X-RF significantly improved the agreement between the two methods of glucosinolate analysis. The following equation was used in the correction: Y = 14.99 [S(mg g-1) - protein %/7.5].
