“…The addition of kale leaf powder has increased Ca, K, Mg and Fe content by 56.6, 87, 32, and 0.94 mg/100 g, respectively. Kale is a plant rich in essential minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, copper and selenium [22]. The results were similar in a study cookie which is substituted with sweet potato and kale powders, up to 27%, providing calcium enrichment, antioxidants and an increase in nutrient content [23].…”

Modified cassava flour (mocaf) is made from fermented cassava. Mocaf can be made into delicious products but lacks in protein, fat, and mineral content. Thus, mocaf cookies need to be fortified with other ingredients such as moringa (Moringa oleifera), katuk (Sauropus androgynus), and kale (Brassica oleracea var. sabellica). This vegetable are rich in calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn). The aim of this study to compare nutritional values mocaf cookies with an additional three-leaf powder of moringa, katuk, and kale. The moringa cookies have the highest fat (38.1±1.2%) and crude fiber content (1.4±0.15%). After that, kale cookies has the highest protein content were 5.08±0.58%. Then, the cookies with the highest potassium, calcium, and magnesium content are kale cookies (202.0±0.5; 82.3±0.5; 97.7±0.58 mg/100 g), followed by katuk cookies (198.0±1; 64.5±0.4; and 71.5±0.1 mg/100 g) and moringa cookies (169.0±0.1; 77.3±0.2; and 63.0±0.8 mg/100 g). Generally, aroma, taste and color of mocaf cookies with vegetable powder were still acceptable for consumption. In conclusion, the fortification of moringa, katuk, and kale leaf powder for mocaf cookies success to increase their nutritional values, such as proximate and mineral content of the cookies.

“…Carolina (Pullano, 2015). In recent years kale production has increased the southeastern U.S. due to favorable growing conditions (Pathirana et al, 2017). Kale tolerates drought and high temperatures, but these stressors are detrimental to biomass accumulation, nutritional quality, and flavor profile (Thavarajah et al, 2016).…”

“…Kale is a nutritionally rich "powerhouse" vegetable that provides ≥10% of the recommended daily allowance of 17 essential nutrients shown in Table 2 (Thavarajah et al, 2016(Thavarajah et al, , 2019. Specifically, kale contains notable amounts of vitamins A, C, and K and mineral nutrients potassium, calcium, and magnesium (Pathirana et al, 2017). Potassium is important in human Nutrition because it maintains electrochemical membrane gradients within cells (Stipanuk & Caudill, 2018).…”

“…The first parameters indicating the impact of drought stress in curly kale are the reduction in plant biomass and the decrease in RWC. The decrease in biomass of about 22% in drought‐stressed seedlings is in accordance with Pathirana et al ., who reported a biomass decrease ranging between 19% and 35% in different B. oleracea genotypes under drought stress. RWC is one of the most appropriate measure of plant water status in terms of the physiological consequence of cellular water deficit, because it has a significant influence on photosynthesis.…”

Drought stress modulates secondary metabolites in Brassica oleracea L. convar. acephala (DC) Alef, var. sabellica L. Abstract BACKGROUND: Consumer preference today is for the consumption of functional food and the reduction of chemical preservatives. Moreover, the antimicrobial properties and health-promoting qualities of plant secondary metabolites are well known. Due to forecasted climate changes and increasing human population, agricultural practices for saving water have become a concern. In the present study, the physiological responses of curly kale Brassica oleracea L. convar. Acephala (DC) var. sabellica to drought stress and the impact of water limitation on the concentration of selected secondary metabolites were investigated under laboratory-controlled conditions. RESULTS: Results indicated that drought stress increased the content of trans-2-hexenal, phytol and -tocopherol, and decreased chlorophyll content. Moreover, drought stress increased antioxidant capacity and the expression of AOP2, a gene associated with the biosynthesis of aliphatic alkenyl glucosinolates, and of three genes -TGG1, TGGE and PEN2 -encoding for myrosinases, the enzymes involved in glucosinolate breakdown.CONCLUSION: The present study shows that water limitation during the growing phase might be exploited as a sustainable practice for producing curly kale with a high concentration of nutritionally important health-promoting bioactive metabolites. Impact of drought on chlorophyll, total, , tocopherols and volatile compound concentrationDrought stress significantly decreased the concentration of total chlorophylls (Fig. 2a), while increasing the concentration of total, J Sci Food Agric 2019; 99: 5533-5540
