The present work investigated the effects of soaking followed by heating on the metabolism of glucosinolates (GLs) in rocket seeds and sprouts. Soaking for 1 h increased myrosinases (MYR) activity of seeds. Heating at 70°C for 10 min after soaking resulted in the highest isothiocyanates (ITCs) formation in seeds. Both immerse-heating and steam-heating decreased the total GLs content in seeds and 2-day old sprouts. However, steam-heating showed minor effect on total GLs content when compared with immerse-heating. Both methods showed a decreased MYR activity in seeds and sprouts. Nevertheless, heating had a positive impact on ITCs formation. Under immerse-heating, ITCs formation was the highest in seeds and sprouts at 70°C heating. However, under steam-heating, ITCs formation in seeds and sprouts was higher at 70 and 60°C, respectively. The results indicated that steam-heating treatment was effective for improving ITCs formation in rocket seeds and 2-day old sprouts.
