It is perhaps the first scholarly attempt to study the vegetarian community in China that does not treat it as an Oriental phenomenon isolated from any outside influence.

  • The Effect of Processing on the Glucosinolate Profile of Mustard Seed
    The effect of processing on the glucosinolate profile of mustard seed Katherine Cools, and Terry, L.A.* Plant Science Laboratory, Cranfield University, Bedfordshire, MK43 0AL, UK. * Corresponding author. E-mail address: [email protected] (L.A. Terry) Tel.: +44-7500-766-490 Co-author e-mail address: [email protected] (K.Cools) Abstract Brassica juncea mustard seed are used to make mustard paste or condiment. Mustard seed contains glucosinolates which are converted to isothiocyanates following cell disruption by the enzyme, myrosinase. Isothiocyanates are sulphur-containing compounds which give a pungent flavour to the mustard condiment. Three mustard seed cultivars from two seasons were processed into Dijon- and wholegrain-style mustard and glucosinolates and isothiocyanates analysed. Canadian cv. Centennial tended to contain higher glucosinolates compared with the French cv. AZ147 and Ukrainian cv. Choraiva. Conversion of the mustard seed into a wholegrain condiment had less effect on total isothiocyanates and sinigrin content compared with the Dijon preparation. The Canadian mustard cultivars produced wholegrain-style mustard with higher total isothyocyantes and sinigrin compared with the French and Ukrainian cultivars. In summary, results herein suggest that Canadian mustard seed cvs. Centennial and and Forge, and wholegrain processing may result in a condiment with greater bioactive composition. Keywords: Brassica juncea, condiment, cultivar, isothiocyanate, sinigrin. 1 1. INTRODUCTION Brassica juncea L. (syn. Sinapis juncea L.) is a hydrid between B. rapa and B. nigra giving it the characteristics of rapid growth from B. rapa and the mustard oil of B. nigra. There are two forms of B. juncea; the oilseed type and the vegetable type which is used for its edible leaves, stems and roots (Dixon, 2007).

Published by the Vedanta Society NEW YORK PRICE 10 CENTS Copyright, 1900, by Swami Abhedananda, new york 58832 — — w* " Who can be more cruel and selfish than he who increases the flesh of his body by eating the flesh of innocent animals." Mahabharata. " Those who desire to possess good memory, beauty, long1 life with perfect health, and physical, moral and spiritual strength, should abstain from animal food." Ibid. " Highest virtue consists in the non-killing of animals."—Ibid. WHY A HINDU IS A VEGETARIAN. Eminent physicians and dietetic reformers of the present day are deeply interested in solving the great problem of wholesome food for human beings, and in introducing food reform in Western countries. Through their efforts thoughtful Americans are be- ginning to know something of the healthful effects of vegetarian diet, and to question whether they shall become vegetarians. This question has never been discussed in the West with so much earnestness as now. Among the ancient Greek philosophers we find strong advocates of vegetarianism in Pythagoras, Plato, Socrates, Seneca, Plutarch, Tertullian, Por- phyry and others; but the vast majority of Western people regard vegetarians with contempt and ridicule. In India this problem was solved by the Hindu phi- losophers long before Pythagoras was born, and in their writings we find logical and scientific arguments against the killing of animals and the eating of animal flesh.
