Summary Samples of rutabaga were subjected to two different treatments, one sample was allowed to autolyse and in the other autolysis was kept to a minimum. Both samples were freeze dried. Glucosinolate hydrolysis products from the freeze dried solids were analysed and quantified. The isothiocyanates and nitriles, derived from glucosinolates, were extracted from the freeze dryer condensate and analysed qualitatively. Autolysis reduced the concentration of glucosinolate hydrolysis products and was particularly effective in reducing goitrin content.
