The study evaluated the effect of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and Trichoderma asperellum (Ta) as biostimulants in hydroponically grown tendril pea (Pisum sativum) microgreens. A completely randomized experimental design was conducted under controlled conditions; included root pea-spraying treatment with Bt, Ta, their combination, alongside a non-inoculated control. results showed that treatments Ta significantly enhanced growth parameters, such stem length diameter, stipular leaf area, fresh weight Specifically, biomass increased by 140% dry 80% compared to control, while combined Bt reduced nitrates 39.6%. + chlorophyll b carotenoids contents, suggesting improved photosynthetic activity. No significant differences visual appearance were observed. In conclusion, application can enhance microgreens’ yield certain biochemical (chlorophyll carotenoids) qualities without affecting quality, supporting these microorganisms biostimulants. These findings underscore potential scale commercial hydroponic systems, offering sustainable approach optimizing production this emerging crop type.

Appraisal of Antioxidant Potential in Broccoli Microgreens under Different Drying Techniques Utilizing In Vitro and in Silico Methods

Malacca Pharmaceutics, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 3(1), С. 20 - 31

Опубликована: Янв. 17, 2025

Broccoli microgreens, rich in bioactive compounds, offer health benefits aligned with SDG 3: “Good Health and Well-Being.” Their antioxidants combat oxidative stress tied to chronic diseases, but drying can affect their activity. This study assessed the antioxidant capacities of fresh, microwave-dried, air-fryer-dried broccoli microgreens using vitro (DPPH assay) silico (molecular docking dynamics) methods. The were cultivated under controlled conditions dried microwave air-fryer techniques. Antioxidant activity was evaluated DPPH assay ethanolic extracts. compounds fresh detected through GC-MS, analyzed evaluate interactions target proteins CYP2C9 NOX2. findings revealed that demonstrated highest activity, followed by while microwave-dried samples exhibited lowest GC-MS analysis presence various including acids, ketones, sulfides, heterocycles, alcohols, esters, aromatic phthalate ester, aldehydes. Molecular strong certain NOX2, suggesting therapeutic potential against stress. dynamics simulations (MDS) showed stable binding for CYP2C9-Methyl myristate complex, NOX-(Z)-1,2-Diphenylethene complex displayed weaker stability. In conclusion, show mitigating stress, slightly enhancing capacity is comparable microgreens. analyses demonstrate between key implicated

A comprehensive review on the antioxidant activities and health benefits of microgreens: current insights and future perspectives

International Journal of Food Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 59(1), С. 58 - 71

Опубликована: Окт. 30, 2023

Summary Microgreens contain an abundance of antioxidants (glucosinolates, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds), vitamins (C, E, K), minerals (iron magnesium), other nutrients (fibre omega‐3 fatty acids). They have been shown to promote cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, combat cancer, manage diabetes, protect the nervous system, improve digestion. This review investigates antioxidant content health implications microgreens, providing current insights prospective outlooks. The types found in as well factors that influence their content, such species, growing conditions, harvesting time, are discussed. highlights antioxidants' role inflammation reduction, cancer defence, diabetes management, system protection. properties microgreen varieties bioavailability from culinary applications, incorporation into diet elaborated. section future perspectives covers commercial potential optimal harvest timing, research directions, functional food nutraceutical uses. aim scope this provide a comprehensive understanding microgreens associated benefits. It also seeks identify gaps suggest avenues for studies, especially concerning relevance human nutrition.

A review on various extraction and detection methods of bio-functional components from microgreens: food applications and health properties

International Journal of Food Properties, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 26(2), С. 3082 - 3105

Опубликована: Ноя. 6, 2023

The current review investigates the effects of microgreens on human health and their use in different food items. In recent decades, various extraction methods, such as cold pressing, supercritical CO2 extraction, microwave-assisted liquid gas chromatography, hydro-distillation method, Soxhlet alcohol steam distillation, accelerated solvent have been used for under optimal conditions. Microgreens contain essential bioactive compounds which work functional foods because these are produced cut down before ripening. Since tiny cotyledons pulses, grains, vegetable seeds, they possess nutritional profile than whole one contains fatty acids, major is linoleic acid important antioxidant enzymes like glucoraphanin signals antioxidants, glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, anthocyanins, ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, peroxidase against inflammation oxidative stress so chronic diseases hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer. Many clinical experimental studies indicated that species fenugreek, brassica, black mustard, mung beans, green peas, red cabbage, broccoli can be to reduce risk metabolic disorders, goiter, kidney other illnesses. This focuses microgreen techniques, practical applications industry, properties.

Many bioactive components in plants are beneficial to health, and their contents seeds sprouts much higher than those mature parts. This study intended uncover alterations nutritional compositions of radish following germination. It also aimed evaluate the health-promoting potential both (Raphanus sativus L.) by quantifying representative compounds antioxidants across six varieties. The ultimate goal was identify optimal variety with these properties through TOPSIS-entropy weight method. measured chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanins, glucosinolates (GLSs), total phenol (TP), vitamin C content, antioxidant capacities (POD: Peroxidase; PAL: Phenylalanine ammonia lyase; T-AOC: Total capacity) grew for 7 days. GLSs content 3 6-fold that sprouts; while anthocyanin, sugar, TP were sprouts. Chlorophyll, carotenoid POD activity significantly seeds. Combined ideal solution similarity ranking preference method (TOPSIS) entropy method, M (Man Tang Hong) variety. Sprouts generally outperformed terms overall phytochemical composition capacities, except M. Therefore, more recommended be consumed daily life without choosing specific In conclusion, this supports based on a comprehensive deciphering profile sprouts, which good sources compounds.
