Nitrate and nitrite in Australian leafy vegetables

Abstract: A market survey of Australian leafy vegetables and a winter and spring experiment with Swiss chard were conducted to examine nitrate and nitrite levels in leaves. The relationship between growth response to nitrogen (N) supply and light level and accumulation of N in leaves was of particular interest. The survey that included 7 types of lettuce and endive (Asteraceae), 6 leafy Asian vegetables (Brassicaceae), and Swiss chard and spinach (Amaranthaceae) showed that fresh leafy vegetables available during a 6-mo… Show more

“…According to Knight et al (1987) vegetables are generally considered the main source of dietary nitrate in the human diet. Some vegetables, such as Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris L.) (Parks et al, 2008), rape (Brassica campestris L.), Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis L.), spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) (Chen et al, 2004), lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) (Huett and White, 1992) and salad rocket (Eruca sativa Mill.) (Cavaiuolo and Ferrante, 2014), contain nitrate at significant levels.…”

“…Estos resultados podrían indicar, que a diferencia de lo expuesto por diversos autores, que señalan que en ciclos estivales, donde la intensidad lumínica es mayor, la actividad de la enzima nitrato reductasa se vería favorecida y la acumulación de nitratos, respecto de ciclos invernales, sería inferior (Gonella et al, 2002;Neely et al, 2010;Konstantopoulou et al, 2010), el factor que tendría una mayor influencia, en nuestras condiciones sería la temperatura, viéndose favorecida la acumulación en aquellas en las que se dieron las más elevadas, lo cual reafirmaría lo obtenido por otros estudios realizados en lechuga romana y minilechuga (Parks et al, 2008;Torres et al, 2013).…”

“…Diversos autores han determinado que para alcanzar los máximos rendimientos en los cultivos deben de realizarse elevadas aplicaciones de nitrógeno, sin embargo un aporte elevado de nitratos se ha asociado con altas concentraciones de este elemento en hortalizas de hoja Santamaría et al, 2001;Parks et al, 2008;Hoque et al, 2010).…”
