Eruca vesicaria subsp. sativa (rocket) sprouts are a rich source of bioactive compounds used in cosmetics. Phytochemical profiling (LC-PDA-MS/MS) of 5-day-old sprouts identified 26 metabolites, mainly glucosinolates (e.g., glucoraphanin and glucoeruc...
Ultrasounds (US) and LED illumination are being studied to optimize yield and quality. The objective was to evaluate the effect of a pre-sowing US treatment combined with a postharvest photoperiod including LEDs on rocket sprouts’ quality and p...
Broccoli sprouts are known as a rich source of health-beneficial phytonutrients: glucosinolates and phenolic compounds. The production of phytonutrients can be stimulated by elicitors that activate the plant stress response. The aim of this study was...
Brassicaceae sprouts are important sources of vitamins, phenolic compounds, minerals, glucosinolates, and isothiocyanates. LEDs illumination have been demonstrated to increase yield and the phytochemical content of young plants. In the present work,...
Brassica L. microgreens are a fresh microscale vegetable crop of high antioxidant value and naturally dense in nutrients without the intervention of biofortification or genetic engineering. A climate chamber experiment on peat-based substrate was set...
The phenolic profiles of 12 cruciferous vegetables (pakchoi, choysum, Chinese cabbage, kailan, Brussels sprout, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, rocket salad, red cherry radish, daikon radish, and watercress) were studied with UHPLC-MS/MS. Antioxidant...
Plants emit characteristic organic volatile compounds (VOCs) with diverse biological/ecological functions. However, the links between plant species/varieties and their phytochemical emission profiles remain elusive. Here, we developed a direct headsp...
