Leaves of the tropical tree Moringa oleifera are widely promoted in areas of chronic malnutrition as nutritional supplements for weaning infants and nursing mothers. Adoption, in these circumstances may hinge upon taste, which can vary greatly amongst cultivars. It is widely assumed that this taste variation is primarily germplasm-dependent, and results from the breakdown of glucosinolates to isothiocyanates. Leaves of 30 accessions, grown at a single field plot, were sampled 3 times over the course of a year. Taste, assessed in a masked protocol, was not related to glucosinolate content of the leaves.
热带树木辣木的叶子在慢性营养不良地区被广泛推广，作为断奶婴儿和哺乳期母亲的营养补充剂。在这种情况下，其采用可能取决于口味，而不同品种之间的口味差异很大。人们普遍认为这种口味差异主要取决于种质，是由硫代葡萄糖苷分解为异硫氰酸盐导致的。在一块单一田地上种植的30份种质的叶子，在一年中被采样3次。采用盲法评估的口味与叶子中的硫代葡萄糖苷含量无关。
