Abstract: A spray dried myrosinase/ascorbate mixture is formed from the steps comprising: providing a source of myrosinase, adding ascorbate to the source of myrosinase, heating the source of myrosinase to a temperature of about 104° F. (about 40° C.) or higher, and spray drying the myrosinase/ascorbate mixture. The spray dried myrosinase/ascorbate mixture may be used to prepare isothiocyanates. The spray dried myrosinase/ascorbate mixture may also be mixed with glucoraphanin and used in an activated tablet or capsule.

Abstract: Composition for the regulation and promotion of the growth rate and characteristics of a variety of plants by providing a method for increasing the concentration of N-.sup.6 -Benzyladenine in a concentrated solution of a solubilizing agent including a selected alcohol(s) or hydroxy compound(s), such as a glycol and a selected hydroxide. Included is a method of preparing a plant growth promoter concentrate from stable water dilutable liquid concentrates of N.sup.6 Benzyladenine, ("N.sup.6 BA").A process of increasing iron absorption by plants utilizes a method of uniformly coating dry powdered humic acid and seaweed with a N.sup.6 BA concentrate solution by preparing a solution of N.sup.6 BA concentrate solution comprising an alcohol and an alkaline metal hydroxide, applying the N.sup.

Abstract: Compositions for the regulation and promotion of the growth rate and characteristics of a variety of plants including N-6-Benzyladenine in a solubilizing agent which includes alcohol or a hydroxy compound such as a glycol and a selected hydroxide.
