“…It is worth emphasizing that both leaves and roots of radish have been used in various parts of the world as antiviral (e.g., against influenza virus), antimicrobial, antioxidant agents and also to treat cancer (Pérez Gutiérrez and Perez 2004). Radish leaves were also found to reduce intestinal glucose absorption (Banihani 2017). …”

In the present paper, products obtained from a blue-green microalga Spirulina platensis filtrate (applied for seed soaking and for foliar spray) and homogenate (used for seed coating) were tested in the cultivation of radish. Their effect on length, wet mass, multielemental composition and the greenness index of the radish leaves was examined. Multi-elemental analyses of the algal products, and radish were also performed using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The best soaking time, concentrations of filtrate and doses of homogenate were established. The longest and heaviest plants were observed for homogenate applied at a dose of 300 µL per 1.5 g of seeds and 15% of filtrate applied as foliar spray. The highest chlorophyll content was found in the group treated with 100 µL of homogenate and 5% of filtrate. In the case of soaking time, the longest plants were in the group where seeds were soaked for 6 h, but the heaviest and greenest were after soaking for 48 h. The applied algal products increased the content of elements in seedlings. Obtained results proved that algal extracts have high potential to be applied in modern horticulture and agriculture. The use of Spirulina -based products is consistent with the idea of sustainable agriculture that could help to ensure production of sufficient human food to meet the needs of rising population and protection of the environment.

“…The pungent principle of radish root is caused by thiocyanate components (Banihani, ; Friis & Kjaer, ; Kjær et al, ), which is hydrolyzed from glucoside contacted with myrosinase (Friis & Kjaer, ). Therefore, the esters in the present work were divided into thiocyanates and nonthiocyanates.…”

Paocai is a popular fermented vegetable side dish or appetizer in China. This study was to investigate the relationship between its sensory quality and physicochemical properties by different statistical methods and to establish a regression prediction model for sensory scores. Principal component analysis disclosed that the sensory properties were negatively correlated with lactic acid and acetic acid contents. The cluster analysis classified the samples into three groups based on their sensory scores and the main differences among the groups were firmness, salinity, and acid production. Finally, a prediction model with an adjusted R2 of 85.28% was established by partial least squares regression to predict the sensory scores and showed high reliability on six tested samples. Practical applications Paocai is a popular side dish or appetizer in China that has a large annual production and consumption. Nowadays, the evaluation of the quality of paocai is mainly relied on sensory assessment, which is expensive to implement, time‐consuming, and sometimes cannot be implemented online for immediate feedback. By establishing the relationship between sensory quality and physicochemical properties of paocai, it is possible to build online feedback of paocai production by instrumental detections.

“…Moreover, it is accepted that molecules or compounds having chelating activities can counteract the detrimental possessions of free radicals (Banihani, ), mainly by inhibiting the generation of hydroxyl radical (OH · ) from hydrogen peroxide (Fenton's reaction), especially in iron overload conditions (van Zyl, Kriegler, & Walt, ). According to van Zyl et al () the histamine‐2 receptor antagonists are efficient chelating agents of iron (van Zyl et al, ).…”

Famotidine, a histamine-2 receptor antagonist, is commonly used to relieve the acidrelated gastrointestinal diseases; however, its effect on human sperm parameters, and hence on sperm function, is still undetermined. Here, we intended to measure human sperm motility, viability, and DNA integrity of ejaculated human sperm in the presence of famotidine at 0, 0.1, 1 and 10 mM concentrations in vitro. Forty-nine semen samples of normal count, motility, and morphology were included in this study. Sperm motility was assessed using Makler counting chamber and a phase contrast optics (200× magnification), whereas sperm viability was assessed using eosin-nigrosin staining procedure. The effect of famotidine on sperm DNA integrity was measured using flow cytometry. Famotidine at 0.1, 1 or 10 mM had insignificant effect on human sperm motility (progressive, p = .9594; and total, p = .8420), sperm viability (p = .6471), and content of DNA breaks in sperm (p > .05) compared with the control. In conclusion, famotidine at 0.1, 1 or 10 mM did not alter human sperm motility, viability or DNA integrity in vitro. Although, these findings indicate safety of famotidine in human sperm, further in vivo studies are required to establish the drug's safety.
