“…Previous studies have shown that germinated adlay seeds exhibit increased levels of free phenols and flavonoids, while bound phenols and flavonoids are significantly reduced after germination [ 43 ]. Furthermore, germinated adlay seeds treated with citric acid have shown a significant increase in phenol (18.3%) and flavonoid (17.0%) content, as well as antioxidant activity (39.1%) compared to the control [ 44 ].…”

Recently, there has been a growing interest in the consumption of plant-based foods such as vegetables and grains for the purpose of disease prevention and treatment. Adlay seeds contain physiologically active substances, including coixol, coixenolide, and lactams. In this study, adlay sprouts were cultivated and harvested at various time points, specifically at 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 days after sowing. The antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated using assays such as DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS radical scavenging, reducing power, and total polyphenol contents. The toxicity of the extracts was assessed using cell culture and the WST-1 assay. The aboveground components of the sprouts demonstrated a significant increase in length, ranging from 2.75 cm to 21.87 cm, weight, ranging from 0.05 g to 0.32 g, and biomass, ranging from 161.4 g to 1319.1 g, as the number of days after sowing advanced, reaching its peak coixol content of 39.38 mg/g on the third day after sowing. Notably, the antioxidant enzyme activity was highest between the third and fifth days after sowing. Regarding anti-inflammatory activity, the inhibition of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) expression was most prominent in samples harvested from the ninth to eleventh days after sowing, corresponding to the later stage of growth. While the overall production mass increased with the number of days after sowing, considering factors such as yield increase index per unit area, turnover rate, and antioxidant activity, harvesting at the early growth stage, specifically between the fifth and seventh days after sowing, was found to be economically advantageous. Thus, the quality, antioxidant capacity, and anti-inflammatory activity of adlay sprouts varied depending on the harvest time, highlighting the importance of determining the appropriate harvest time based on the production objectives. This study demonstrates the changes in the growth and quality of adlay sprouts in relation to the harvest time, emphasizing the potential for developing a market for adlay sprouts as a new food product.

Adlay (Coix lacryma-jobi L.), a crop closed related to maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.), originated in tropical/subtropical regions of Asia and Africa; southwest China primary center of this plant’s origin, evolution and migration. Adlay is a traditional high-value minor crop used for both medicinal and dietary purposes. Adlay has anti-tumor, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, blood sugar-lowering, and blood lipid-lowering effects. To clarify the main bioactive components and phytochemical compounds and to fully explore their utility, this review summarizes the research done on the main functional ingredients of adlay, including amino acids and proteins, oils, vitamins and minerals, polysaccharides, and polyphenols. This study also highlighted the application of genome sequencing to tailor nutrient-rich adlay cultivars and nutraceutical product development. Additionally, the acquisition of high-density genomic data combined with next-generation phenotypic analysis will undoubtedly improve our understanding of the potential genetic regulation of adlay nutraceutical traits. This review provides new insights and ideas for the research of adlay in comparison and evolutionary genomics, and a useful reference for molecular breeding and genetic improvement of this important minor crop.

“…FTIR spectroscopy measures the presence or absence of any specific functional group as well as molecular vibrations of their covalent bonds (Jan et al, 2017) O-H functional group and were found to be highest for 72 h GBSF ascribing to improved functional properties of BSF post germination (Adebiyi et al, 2016). The active absorption bands at 2918.35 and 2305.47 cm −1 were ascribed to the stretching vibration of symmetric and asymmetric C-H bond (Xu et al, 2018). Further, the peak intensity increased with increase in germination period attributing to the bound water present in the form of moisture (Adebiyi et al, 2016).…”

Legumes are one of the essential components of human diet being a rich source of proteins and play important role in global nutrition.Among various legumes, soybean holds special place and is grown and consumed worldwide. Black soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) is the soybean variety with black seed coat and is widely cultivated in Asian countries such as China, Japan, Korea, India and is part of orient foods. Black soybean is consumed in various forms such as soymilk, soy sauce, tofu, and sprouts (Guo et al., 2019). It is considered as nutritionally superior to widely consumed yellow soybean and has been used as medicinal food in these countries (Hou et al., 2020). Black soybean is a rich source of proteins, good quality fats, minerals, and other bioactives such as polyphenolic compounds, anthocyanins, isoflavones, and phytosterols (Kim et al., 2020). Several health benefits have been associated with consumption of black soybean, and
