“…Another study by Ballester et al [13] revealed that blue LED light do not influence the phenolic contents of fruits. Total phenolic content of Brassica oleracea was highest under red LED [14]. In addition to this, Zea mays sprouts that germinate under light have more phenolic content than those that germinate under dark conditions.…”

“…Blue light can influence the accumulation of phenolic content of Lachenalia species [19], while red light can influence the phenolic content of Brassica oleracea [14]. UV light affect the phenolics and pigment content of broccoli sprouts [40], carrots [41], Vigna radiate sprouts [42], Gracilaria chilensis [43], Capsicum chinense [44], and Solanum lycopersicum [45].…”

Light is an important environmental factor that have an influence on a plants photosynthesis and production of secondary metabolites like phenolic compounds and flavonoid. Mangifera indica from the family Anacardiaceae is known to have bioactivity due to its phenolic and flavonoid contents. The objective of the study is to determine the influence of light on the photosynthesis and phenolic contents of M. indica. Photosynthesis of the plant was measured using a portable photosynthesis system referred to as LICOR-6400. Photosynthetic pigments as well as phenolic and flavonoid contents were quantified using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The outcome derived from the study shows that sun exposed leaves of the studied plant were having the maximum photosynthesis, saturation and compensation points (P < 0.05). Moreover, sun exposed leaves were having higher carotenoid, phenolic and flavonoid contents but lower chlorophyll contents. This leads to a conclusion that sun leaves of M. indica contribute the highest photosynthesis and phenolic contents to the plant.

“…Other examples include increasing antioxidant levels in pea sprouts (Wu et al 2007), lettuce (Johkan et al 2010), tomato (Kim et al 2013) and kale (Carvalho & Folta 2014a,b). Effects on ascorbic acid levels were observed in lettuce (Li & Kubota 2009), strawberry (Kim et al 2011), kale (Deng et al 2017) and Chinese cabbage (Li et al 2012). Changes in polyphenol and anthocyanin content were observed in many of the above-referenced reports and in others (e.g.…”

Agricultural production in controlled environments is increasingly feasible, and may play an important role in providing nutrition and choice to growing urban centres. New technologies in lighting, ventilation, robotics and irrigation are just a few of the innovations that enable production of high-value specialty crops outside of a traditional field setting. However, despite all of the advances in the hardware within the plant factory operation, innovation of the most complex machine has been neglected - the plant itself. Indoor agricultural operations typically rely on legacy varieties, plants selected and bred for field conditions. In the field, phenotypic stability is paramount, as production must be consistent in an unpredictable and changing environment. However, the controlled environment affords focus on different breeding priorities as environmental flux, pests, pathogens and post-harvest quality are less formidable barriers to production. On the contrary, breeding for controlled environments shifts the focus to a completely different set of plant traits, such as rapid growth, performance in low light environments and active manipulation of plant stature. Instead of breeding for phenotypic stability, plants may be bred to maximise genetic plasticity, allowing specific traits to be presented as a function of the quality of the ambient light spectrum. In this scenario plant varieties may be grown with optimal size, supporting a focus on consumer traits like flavour or accumulation of health-related compounds. Gene editing may be a central technology in the production of designer plants for controlled environments. This review considers the opportunity for breeding for controlled environments, with a focus on a revision of priorities for controlled-environment breeders.

“…In the last couple of years new culinary trend introduced cruciferous vegetable in a germinating stage, as sprouts. Consumption of such as vegetables provide unique taste, and additional health benefits due to the fact that Brassicaceae sprouts are rich in health-promoting phytochemicals, vitamins, amino acids, and minerals (Vale et al, 2015a;Vale et al, 2015b;Deng et al, 2017). During extensive period of growth and development, seedlings and young plantlets accumulate more phytochemicals (Šamec, Piljac-Žegarac, Bogović, Habjanič & Grúz, 2011), and, consequently, young seedlings or sprouts could contain from 2 to 10-fold more phytochemicals than vegetables in mature stage (Baenas, Gómez-Jodar, Morenoa, García-Viguera & Periago, 2017).…”

Comparative analysis of phytochemicals and activity of endogenous enzymes associated with their stability, bioavailability and food quality in five Brassicaceae sprouts

et al. 2018

Five Brassicaceae sprouts (white cabbage, kale, broccoli, Chinese cabbage, arugula) were comparatively analyzed based on phytochemicals (polyphenols, glucosinolates, carotenoids, chlorophylls, ascorbic acid) content and accompanying enzymes associated with phytochemical stability and bioavailability (peroxidases, myrosinase, and polyphenol-oxidase) that consequently impact food quality. Significantly high content of polyphenols and glucosinolates, as well as a high antioxidant activity were found in white cabbage, followed by kale sprouts. In addition, white cabbage contained higher amount of fibers and lower polyphenol-oxidase activity which potentially indicates prevention of browning and consequently better sprout quality. Arugula and broccoli showed higher activity of myrosinase that may result in higher bioavailability of active glucosinolates forms. According to our data, sprouts are cheap, easy- and fast-growing source of phytochemicals but also they are characterized by different endogenous enzymes activity. Consequently, this parameter should also be taken into consideration in the studies related to the health benefits of the plant-based food.
