Three cultivars
of broccoli seeds (Brassica oleracea var. italica), cv. Tiburon, cv. Belstar and
cv. Lucky, and two cultivars of radish seeds (Raphanus sativus), cv. Rebel and
cv. Bolide, were germinated for three and five days and safety aspects such as
microbiological counts and biogenic amines were investigated. Cytotoxicity
evaluation was also carried out. Broccoli and radish sprouts contained numbers
of mesophilic, psychrotrophic, total and faecal coliform bacteria which are the
usual counts for minimally processed germinated seeds. Putrescine, cadaverine,
histamine, tyramine, spermidine and spermine increased during sprout production
although these levels were below those permitted by legislation (5mg/100g of
edible food). Broccoli and radish sprouts demonstrated no toxic effects on
proliferation and viability of HL-60 cells and should be included in our diets
as healthy and safe fresh foods.
