“…SGs can be used as food additives and in beverages. The application of bioactive substances found in stevia leaves, such as vitamins, phytosterols, triterpenes and polyphenols, has been researched for their numerous pharmacological benefits [14].…”

This study investigated the formulation of a product prototype RMUTI-SKC by using the legal part of cannabis plants (leaves). Five product prototypes were composed of cannabis (leaves), stevia and mint. The herbs were added to improve the taste, smell and physical appearance properties of the product prototype which was yellowish-green. The analysis of the chemical properties found no heavy metals (Cd, As, and Pb) were observed (based on THAI community product standard, and demonstrated a moderate antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and total flavonoid content. The GC-MS profile of crude extracts analysis revealed the phytochemicals based on pharmacological action of essential oil, flavoring substance, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-bacterial, antidiabetic, antifungal and anti-cancer, respectively. The experimental results showed the pharmacological properties of the product prototype which can be a guideline for applying cannabis plants to other products. Further study on pathogen testing and product aging should be carried out to satisfy the quality of production.

“…Surprisingly, their findings revealed that prolonged photoperiods did not contribute to an increase in leaf number or dry matter accumulation under light conditions exceeding 18 h. Different outcomes have been observed in studies involving other plant species. For example, when the photoperiod exceeded 12 h, the yield of dandelion increased, and the accumulation of antioxidant metabolites in stevia rebaudiana gradually rose [14,15]. In cruciferous plants, it was found that there was no significant difference in polyphenol and flavonoid content between different photoperiods (12,14,16,18, and 20 h) treatments for kale, and the total mustard oil content was the lowest in cabbage with a 12 h photoperiod and Chinese kale with a 16 h photoperiod [16].…”

Three different photoperiod treatments (8 h/16 h, 12 h/12 h, and 16 h/8 h of light/dark) were implemented to investigate the impact of growth, biomass, and phytochemical accumulation in two celery cultivars, namely ‘Zhangqiubaoqin’ (BQ) and ‘Hongchenghongqin’ (HQ), within a plant factory setting. The findings demonstrated that the 12 h/12 h photoperiod stimulated the growth of both celery varieties, while the 16 h/8 h photoperiod hindered their growth. Notably, the root length, shoot fresh and dry weight, plant height, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, and carotenoid content of both celery cultivars exhibited the highest values under the 12 h/12 h light and dark photoperiod. Furthermore, the effective quantum yields of the electron transfer ratio (ETR) and the photochemical quenching coefficient (qP) displayed superior value under the 12 h/12 h light and dark photoperiod. With the exception of cellulose, the levels of soluble sugar, soluble protein, total phenol, and vitamin C were also highest under the 12 h/12 h photoperiod for both cultivars. BQ demonstrated the highest total apigenin content under the 12 h/12 h (light and dark) photoperiod, whereas HQ exhibited the highest content under the 16 h/8 h (light and dark) photoperiod. In summary, celery plants exhibited optimal performance and biomass production when subjected to the 12 h/12 h (light and dark) photoperiod treatment.

“…S. rebaudiana is an obligate short-day plant, so long-day prolongs the vegetative phase and increases its growth [ 9 ]. In recent times, it has gained increasing attention for its ability to biosynthesize steviol glycosides, which are molecules with a high sweetening power [ 10 , 11 ]. Steviol glycosides are a class of secondary metabolites all characterized by the same tetracyclic diterpenoid aglycone, steviol, but differ in the carbohydrate residues [ 12 ].…”

“…Although steviol glycosides are considered the most promising bioactive compounds, they are not the only phytochemicals produced by the plant. The leaves of S. rebaudiana are an interesting source of other molecules with pharmacological and health-promoting properties, such as polyphenols and terpenoids, as well as phytosterols and vitamins [ 11 , 14 ].…”

Resilience of Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) Bertoni in the Underwater Biospheres of Nemo’s Garden®: Adaptation to New Cultivation Systems

et al. 2022

The Nemo’s Garden® project is an alternative production system for areas with scarce cultivable land but significant presence of water; thus, it is an interesting intervention to address the climate crisis. This work aimed to evaluate the micromorphological, biochemical, and phytochemical characteristics of Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) Bertoni grown underwater compared to the terrestrial specimens. The micromorphological analyses, performed on the leaves using light microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, evidenced a general uniformity of the trichome morphotype and distribution pattern. The histochemical investigation indicated the simultaneous presence of terpenes and polyphenols in the trichome secreted material from the underwater samples and a prevailing polyphenolic content in the terrestrial specimens; this was also confirmed by biochemical analyses (26.6 mg GAE/g DW). The characterization of non-volatile components, performed using HPLC–MS, showed similar chemical profiles in all the samples, which were characterized by phenolic compounds and steviol glycosides. The volatile compounds, evaluated using HS-SPME coupled with GC–MS, showed sesquiterpene hydrocarbons as the main class in all the analyzed samples (80.1–93.9%). However, the control plants were characterized by a higher content of monoterpene hydrocarbons (12.1%). The underwater biosphere environment did not alter S. rebaudiana micro-morphological characters, although slight qualitative changes were evidenced for the compounds produced as a response to the growth conditions.
