“…Actually, the USFA for the shoots at Mubarak Valley ranged between 56.6 and 68.7% percent ( Table A6 ). These findings coincide with other studies on S. bigelovii [ 22 ], S. europaea [ 74 ] and Sarcocornia ambigua [ 75 ] where a high percentage of USFA was measured in their shoots. LA (C18:2 ω6) and ALA (C18:3 ω3) were the main contributors to the USFA composition.…”

Climate change significantly aggravates the quality of soil and water, especially in desert regions such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Egypt concluding in an alarming increase in salinity in the reservoirs of the natural resources. Saline farming rises as a promising solution, utilizing low-quality water and land resources to grow salt-tolerant varieties of conventional crops and halophytes. Samphire (Salicornia spp.) is among the most popular multi-purpose halophytes that are locally consumed in several countries around the world as a vegetable. Six Salicornia bigelovii genotypes (ICBA-2, ICBA-3, ICBA-4, ICBA-8, ICBA-9, ICBA-10) were evaluated for their agronomic performance and nutritional composition in Dubai in UAE and, for the first time, at the Red Sea Governorate in Egypt in the 2019–2020 season using saline groundwater for irrigation (ECw = 26 and 6.6 dS/m, respectively). ICBA-10 performed well in both locations with high green biomass and seed yield (10.9 kgm−2 and 116.3 gm−2, respectively, in UAE; 7.7 kgm−2 and 82.9 gm−2, respectively, in Egypt). ICBA-10 was, overall, also good in ion accumulation, total amino acids and unsaturated fatty acids content in both locations for shoots and seeds. Our results indicated that a lack of a drainage system and leaching fraction, the silt loam texture and the drip irrigation system might have contributed in the gradual accumulation of salts in the soil at Mubarak Valley at the end of the experiment at a higher level than ICBA. Apart from the agronomic parameters, higher salinity levels also affected ion accumulation, the amino acids and the fatty acids content for both shoots and seeds, whereas the proximate composition was affected to a lesser extent. Our findings on the high unsaturated fatty acids content under higher salinity corroborate the nutritional value of S. bigelovii oil. Due to its euhalophyte nature, S. bigelovii is a valuable source of minerals, amino acids and antioxidants that render it the most promising salt-loving plant for food use.

“…While compared to corresponding data for several local common vegetables reported by Yang, Wang, and Pan (2002), the protein level in S. bigelovii was lower than that in celery leaf (2.6%) and spinach (2.6%), and similar to that in lettuce (1.3%) and Chinese cabbage (1.4%). Although the lipid content was relatively low, it was characterized by a high degree of unsaturation mainly for the sake of alpha-linolenic and linoleic acids (data not shown here) (Tikhomirova, Ushakova, Tikhomirov, Kalacheva, & Gros, 2008). Biochemical compositions of the S. bigelovii tissue showed high values of b-carotene, ascorbic acid and total chlorophyll (Table 1).…”

“…S. herbacea are also unique for having a salty taste and a smaller quantity of sodium, as well as their nutritional quality of fatty acid content [ 4 , 46 , 109 , 110 ], especially polyunsaturated [ 111 , 112 ], in addition to minerals [ 4 , 16 , 20 , 53 , 103 , 105 , 108 , 113 , 114 ], vitamins [ 4 , 53 ] and antioxidants [ 4 , 7 , 20 , 29 , 105 ], which enrich their nutritional profile [ 4 ] and make Salicornia species S. herbacea , S. bigelovii and S. brachiata good options for making salt substitutes.…”

Excessive sodium (salt) intake in our diet is a main contributor to hypertension and a major risk factor for cardiovascular illnesses. As a result, research has made great efforts to develop salt alternatives, and Salicornia spp. offers a very high potential in the food industry for its promising functional characteristics. This review focuses on the nutritional profile, health effects and commercial potential of three specific species of the Salicornia genus: S. bigelovii, S. brachiata and S. herbacea. It also addresses the methods that are used to produce them as salt substitutes. Owing to the antinutritional and anti-inflammatory effects of its bioactive compounds, Salicornia spp. can serve as an organic biological preservative in foods with better consumer appeal when compared with chemical preservatives that are common in the food industry. Overall, the commercial use of these underutilized species will help to improve food security.
