Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) was grown on soil (control) or municipal sewage sludge‐treated plots. The cabbage was freeze‐dried and analyzed for glucosinolate content and pattern. Results showed that cabbage grown on sludge‐amended soil contained only half the glucosinolate content of cabbage grown on the control plot. The pattern of individual glucosinolates present was also altered. The sludge‐grown cabbage glucosinolate extract was shown to be mutagenic in the non‐activated test system of S. typhimurium TA 100. Extracts of both sludge‐grown and control cabbage were shown to enhance the mutagenicity on a dose‐response basis of aflatoxin B 1 , benzo(a)pyrene, and captan.
