Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a composition that contains a mixture of broccoli seed and mustard seed. Before mixing the broccoli seed with the mustard seed, the broccoli seed is subjected to baking and a pressurized heat treatment. The broccoli seed is baked at a temperature of at least 200 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 60 minutes, and is subjected to a pressurized heat treatment of at least 200 degrees Fahrenheit at a pressure of at least 10 pounds/square inch for at least 5 minutes. Also provided is a method for therapy and/or prophylaxis of bladder cancer in an individual. The method entails administering orally to the individual a composition that contains an isothiocyanate (ITC) or a derivative thereof such that the administration inhibits the growth and/or recurrence of bladder cancer. Nutraceutical compositions are also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A composition comprising a mixture of broccoli seed and mustard seed, wherein the broccoli seed has been subjected to baking and a pressurized heat treatment before being mixed with the mustard seed, wherein the broccoli seed was baked at a temperature of at least 200 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 60 minutes before being mixed with the mustard seed, and wherein the broccoli seed comprises heat inactivated epithiospecifier protein (ESP), and wherein the mustard seed has not been subjected to a heat or pressurized treatment, and wherein the broccoli seed is present in an amount effective to inhibit growth of bladder cancer an individual in need of thereof. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the pressurized heat treatment comprises a pressurized steam treatment at a temperature of at least 200 degrees Fahrenheit at a pressure of at least 10 pounds/square inch (p.s.i.) for at least 5 minutes. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the broccoli seed comprises at least 90 micromoles/gram glucoraphanin. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the mustard seed comprises at least 90 micromoles/gram sinigrin. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the mixture of the brocolli seed and the mustard seed is powdered. 6. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising horseradish meal or powder, wasabi powder, or a combination thereof.
