Abstract: 【Objective】 The composition and content of glucosinolate in three color types of maca (Lepidium meyenii) cultivated in Yunnan were analyzed in this study.【Method】HPLC and LC-ESI/MS were applied to analyze glucosinolate compositions and content of the methanol extracted from fresh, vacuum drying and air drying maca hypocotyls samples. 【Result】Two aromatic glucosinolates, benzyl glucosinolate and methoxybenzyl glucosinolate, were identified from three color types of maca. The total glucosinolate content in purple, yellow and white fresh samples was 50.14, 46.35, and 84.57 μmol•g-1, respectively. The total content in air drying samples was 13.05, 14.35, and 14.94 μmol•g-1, respectively, and the total content in vacuum drying samples was 0.24, 0.05, and 0.29 μmol•g-1, respectively. 【Conclusion】 Three color types of maca cultivated in Yunnan contain the same compositions of glucosinolate, the composition was consistent with that of sample cultivated in Peru. The difference in content was significant among three color types of fresh hypcotyle (P<0.01), but all of them were much higher than that from Peru. The content of glucosinolate in white sample was the highest. The content of dried samples was much lower than that in fresh samples due to mostly hydrolyzed during the processing of drying.
