Nitrate (NO3) and nitrite (NO2) are important nitrogen compounds that play a vital role in the cycle, contributing to plant nutrition broader ecological functions. Nitrates produced from nitric acid (HNO3), while nitrites come nitrous (HNO2). These substances commonly found environment, especially food water, due contamination both human natural sources. Human activities major contributors high levels of nitrates leading environmental pollution. Although is crucial for growth, excessive fertilizer use has caused disruptions. In plants, tend accumulate primarily leaves non-leguminous crops, such as leafy vegetables, which known their nitrate content. Furthermore, added animal-based foods, processed meats cheeses, prevent bacterial slow spoilage, improve flavor color. The concentration these can vary different factors like farming practices, climate, soil conditions, production methods. This review seeks examine differences between plant-based sources assess potential impact on health, considering also paradigm goes beyond oxide production.

Nitrates and Nitrites in Leafy Vegetables: The Influence of Culinary Processing on Concentration Levels and Possible Impact on Health

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 26(7), С. 3018 - 3018

Vegetables, as an important source of vitamins and minerals, are highly recommended in a healthy diet. At the same time, vegetables can contain elevated amounts nitrates nitrites, which possible nitrosating agents responsible for formation carcinogenic nitrosamines. In young children, they cause methemoglobinemia. Determining level well reduction their concentrations during culinary processing, is especially diet who introduced to leafy first year. For some types that often found diet, maximum permissible have not yet been established. Our goal was estimate factors nitrites suggest best ways properly prepare foods. this purpose, samples Swiss chard, spinach, white cabbage were collected from market determine nitrate nitrite content. Vegetable subjected preparations: soaking, cooking, combination soaking cooking. Quantitative qualitative determination carried out on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with diode array detector (DAD). The obtained results showed highest chard samples, followed by lowest samples. impact preparation spinach Considering average achieved after cooking or there no risk exceeding ADI limit. However, values would be exceeded at concentrations.

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a potentially malignant disorder characterized by the accumulation of extracellular matrix in oral mucosa, which leads to stiffening and can result trismus. There still lack effective measures prevent treat OSF. Nitrate has been verified provide protective responses against fibrotic diseases multiple organs tissues. It remains unclear whether dietary nitrate In present study, we established OSF rat model evaluate effect for preventing treatment demonstrated promising preventive effects, including alleviation mucosal pallor, improved mouth opening, ameliorated histopathologic features rats with OSF, no side effects. Moreover, also inhibit collagen deposition, profibrogenic marker expression, inflammation. RNA-seq analysis tissues, followed functional verification, revealed that nitrate's primarily mediated through inhibition PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, ultimately leading reduced expression fibrosis-related markers. Our findings first time exhibited strong effects both vitro vivo models inhibiting pathway. Dietary supplementation could offer novel, safe, approach
