Microgreens are gaining prominence as nutrient-dense foods with health-promoting activities while aligning smart agriculture and functional food trends. They rich in numerous bioactive compounds like phenolics, ascorbic acid, carotenoids, which act antioxidants, also causing multiple other biological activities. Using advanced statistical methods, this study investigated Brassicaceae microgreens, identifying kale Sango radish standout varieties. Both contained 16 amino acids, potassium calcium dominant minerals. Sugar protein contents ranged from 4.29 to 4.66% 40.27 43.90%, respectively. Kale exhibited higher carotenoid levels, particularly lutein (996.36 mg/100 g) beta-carotene (574.15 g). In comparison, excelled glucose metabolism (α-glucosidase inhibition: 58%) antioxidant (DPPH•: 7.92 mmol TE/100 g, ABTS•+: 43.47 showed antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus. demonstrated stronger anti-inflammatory effects, antiproliferative potential. These results, supported by PCA correlation analysis, underscore the dual role of these microgreens nutritious therapeutic additives, addressing oxidative stress, inflammation, microbial threats.

Microgreens represent a valuable source of health-promoting compounds and also research avenue, since such organisms have very high plasticity related to environmental cues, allowing biotechnological development with low costs. Ocimum basilicum L. species naturally synthesize valuable, phenolic compounds, among which rosmarinic acid is most prominent. Within the current research, basil plantlets were grown for 10 days under either full spectrum light (white light) or modulated blue/red/far-red/UV elicitation an additional factorization, by applying fertilization. Biomass accumulation reached up 0.8 g/20 plantlets, while chlorophyll fluorescence was in 0.75–0.78 range remained uniform across treatments, indicating that no significant stress exerted modified treatment. However, total contents and, particular, contents, markedly enhanced (up 7.5 mg/g red cultivar) treatment fertilization, compared light. Moreover, cultivar, gene expression enhanced, 1.3–6.3 fold genes coding enzymes involved phenylpropanoid synthesis pathways, as phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT), Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) synthetase (RAS). Overall, modulation coupled fertilization led production microgreens 10% more phenolics 25% acid. The results show that, using relatively simple growth equipment setup, health related, can be hence, serves avenue businesses develop cost effective processes.

Globally, one in every four individuals faces a deficiency essential micronutrients. Harvested early from various vegetables, grains, and herbs, microgreens have rich nutritional profiles that can mitigate nutrient deficiencies. Here, we analyzed six microgreens' for broccoli, black radish, red beet, pea, sunflower, bean. Ascorbic acid content varied widely, 32.72 mg/100 g fresh weight (FW) beet to 80.45 FW beans. All exhibited high macro elements (mg/100 FW), with potassium ranging 187.07 416.05, magnesium 45.96 86.83, calcium 67.18 148.63, phosphorus 2.57 4.88. They also contained significant microelements (µg/100 including iron 524 2610, manganese 176.32 350.56, zinc 31.92 129.78, copper 458.84 956.34. Glucose surpassed sucrose fructose, 0.114 0.580 FW. Among organic acids, citric was highest succinic beans, fumaric sunflower. Broccoli had the total phenolic (825.53 mg GA/100 while beans flavonoid (758.0 RU/100 FW). Black radish demonstrated antioxidant capacity. Additionally, volatile aromatic compounds were across microgreen species.

Seeds are a major source of contamination by foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes, significantly increasing the risk diseases associated with fresh produce like sprouts. In this study, we described novel endolysins engineered variants that exhibited potent bactericidal activity against these pathogens. These demonstrated strong effects independently outer membrane permeabilizers, effectively killing S. E. L. monocytogenes to undetectable levels (>4-log kill) at concentrations low 12.5 μg/mL.

Climate change causes shifts in temperature patterns, and plants adapt their chemical content order to survive. We compared the effect of low (LT) high (HT) growing temperatures on phytochemical broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. convar. botrytis (L.) Alef. var. cymosa Duch.) microgreens bioactivity extracts. Using different spectrophotometric, LC-MS/MS, GC-MS, statistical methods, we found that LT increased total phenolics tannins broccoli. The glucosinolates were also by LT; however, they decreased HT. Soluble sugars, known osmoprotectants, both types stress, considerably more HT than LT, suggesting a intense osmotic imbalance. Both detrimental for chlorophyll, with being impactful LT. hormone indole-3-acetic acid, implying an important role broccoli's defense.
