Principal component and hierarchical cluster analysis to select natural elicitors for enhancing phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of lettuce sprouts
(Elsevier Science, 2015-09)
Sprouts have received increasing attention in recent years because of their potential dietary value. Additionally, the efficient production of sprouts with high levels of phytochemicals and antioxidants is desirable. ...
Antioxidant activity of butterhead lettuce: evaluation of significant factors affecting antioxidant extraction and quantification
(Springer, 2015-06)
This work presents a standardized methodology for both the extraction of antioxidants from butterhead lettuce and the evaluation of the antioxidant capacity through DPPH methodology. The standardized extraction of antioxidants ...
Plant-adapted Escherichia coli show increased lettuce colonizing ability, resistance to oxidative stress and chemotactic response
(Public Library of Science, 2014-10-14)
Background: Escherichia coli is a widespread gut commensal and often a versatile pathogen of public health concern. E. coli are also frequently found in different environments and/or alternative secondary hosts, such as ...
Natural elicitors as preharvest treatments to improve postharvest quality of Butterhead lettuce
(Elsevier Science, 2018-01)
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is one of the most popular leafy vegetables in the world, characterized by a diverse composition of phytochemical compounds but at low levels. However, their content may be increased with abiotic ...
Bioaccumulation of Potentially Toxic Elements in Lettuce and Soil Fertility Treated with Biosolid
(2022-03-01)
The use of biosolids in agriculture contributes to soil fertility and plant nutrition. However, the presence of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can limit its use as a fertilizer. In this context, we propose to evaluate ...
