L. (Brassicaceae), also known as woad or dyer's woad, is an ancient plant with a rosy future ahead. Most of the knowledge about woad is related to indigo dye production and its medicinal applications, especially its leaves. The general interest in woad has decreased with the rise of petroleum-based products. However, nowadays this plant is attracting interest again with industries reintroducing natural dyes. To meet the market demand in a sustainable manner, recent studies have focused specifically on woad seeds, leading to a valorization of the whole woad plant. This review provides an overview of the botanical, phytochemical composition, and properties of woad seeds, primarily supporting their cosmetic and pharmaceutical potential. From a chemical point of view, woad seeds mainly contain fatty acids, amino acids, phytosterols and glucosinolates. These compounds have been investigated through their extraction and analytical methods, as well as their properties and industrial applications.
菘蓝（十字花科），也被称为大青或菘蓝，是一种前景光明的古老植物。关于菘蓝的大部分知识都与靛蓝染料生产及其药用有关，尤其是其叶子。随着石油基产品的兴起，人们对菘蓝的普遍兴趣有所下降。然而，如今随着各行业重新引入天然染料，这种植物再次引起了人们的兴趣。为了以可持续的方式满足市场需求，最近的研究特别关注菘蓝种子，从而实现了菘蓝全株的价值提升。本综述概述了菘蓝种子的植物学、植物化学成分和特性，主要支持其在化妆品和制药方面的潜力。从化学角度来看，菘蓝种子主要含有脂肪酸、氨基酸、植物甾醇和硫代葡萄糖苷。这些化合物已通过其提取和分析方法以及它们的特性和工业应用进行了研究。
