This paper explores the potential of smart crop management based on incorporation tools like digital agriculture, which considers current technological applied in such as Internet Things (IoT), remote sensing, and artificial intelligence (AI), to improve production efficiency sustainability. is essential context varying climatic conditions that affect availability resources for agriculture. The integration IoT sensor networks can allow farmers obtain real-time data their crops, assessing key...
This review article conducts an in-depth analysis of the role next-generation technologies in soilless vegetable production, highlighting their groundbreaking potential to revolutionize yield, efficiency, and sustainability. These technologies, such as AI-driven monitoring systems precision farming methods, offer unparalleled accuracy critical variables nutrient concentrations pH levels. However, paper also addresses multifaceted challenges that hinder widespread adoption these technologies....
A diet rich in fruits and vegetables is known to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, information regarding antithrombotic activity (antiplatelet, anticoagulant, fibrinolytic) scarce. The aim this study was assess extracts from widely consumed central Chile. included samples 19 26 vegetables, representative local diet. prepared each sample an aqueous (juice or pressed solubles) and/or methanol-soluble fraction. were evaluated for antiplatelet, fibrinolytic vitro at a final...
The presence of micro and nanoplastics in the food chain constitutes an emergent multifactorial safety physiological stress problem, which must be approached with a strategic perspective since it affects public health when consuming products that have this pollutant, such as fish crustaceans, fruits, vegetables. In review, authors present results by scientists from different disciplines who are dedicated to discovering their chemical constitution origin, contents these microparticles edible...
The consumption of fruits and vegetables is accepted to be one the strategies reduce risk factors for these diseases. aim this study was examine potential relationships between antioxidant antiplatelet activities in green mature fully ripe (red) tomatoes lycopene-rich byproducts tomato paste processing such as pomace. total phenol content components highest peels, pulp, mucilaginous myxotesta covering seeds with values 36.9 ± 0.8, 33.3 00.5, 17.6 0.9 mg GAE/100 g, respectively (P < 0.05)....
Cardiovascular disease prevention is of high priority in developed countries. Healthy eating habits including the regular intake an antithrombotic diet (fruit and vegetables) may contribute to prevention. Platelet function a critical factor arterial thrombosis effect strawberries have still unclear. Therefore, aim this study was systematically examine action preventing platelet activation thrombus formation. Strawberry extract concentration-dependently (0.1–1 mg/ml) inhibited aggregation...
Background: Regular consumption of fruits and vegetables (e.g., tomatoes) has been shown to be beneficial in terms reducing the incidence cardiovascular diseases. The industrial processing tomatoes into tomato-based products includes several thermal treatments. Very little is known on effect tomato antiaggregatory activity phenolic profile. Methods: It was assessed by-products extracts platelet aggregation induced by ADP, collagen, TRAP-6 arachidonic acid. These vitro antithrombotic...
Background: Epidemiological studies have shown the prevention of cardiovascular diseases through regular consumption vegetables. Eruca sativa Mill., commonly known as rocket, is a leafy vegetable that has anti-inflammatory activity. However, its antiplatelet and antithrombotic activities not been described. Methods: Mill. aqueous extract (0.1 to 1 mg/mL), was evaluated on human platelets: (i) P-selectin expression by flow cytometry; (ii) platelet aggregation induced ADP, collagen arachidonic...
The accelerated growth of computer vision techniques (CVT) has allowed their application in various disciplines, including horticulture, facilitating the work producers, reducing costs, and improving quality life. These have made it possible to contribute automation agro-industrial processes, avoiding excessive visual fatigue when undertaking repetitive tasks, such as monitoring selecting seedlings grown trays. In this study, an object detection model a mobile were developed that be counted...
In seeking the functionality of foodstuff applicable to medicine, ripe tomato fruits were found show an antiplatelet activity. Therefore, bioactive compound was isolated, structurally identified, and studied for inhibitory effects on platelet adhesion, secretion, aggregation. The concentration adenosine in (pulp skin extracts) its processing by-products (paste pomace) determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). According aggregation inhibition induced ADP,...

The effect of pH and silicon (Si) in the nutrient solution on vegetative development 2-year-old blueberry plants ( Vaccinium corymbosum L. cv. Ventura) was studied. Two independent experiments were performed coir fiber (CF) sand as substrates. In experiment 1, Si applied at a dose 0.0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2 m . 2, treated with 4.00, 4.75, 5.50, 6.25, using two sources acidification: nitric acid citric acid. parameters plant growth, foliar surface, stem biomass measured. With application to CF,...
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for humans, but most foods are Se deficient, mainly because of its low content in the soil. A Se-deficient diet results increased susceptibility to cardiovascular disease, cancer, and hyperthyroidism. Agronomic biofortification a good alternative increase food. This study investigated effect on growth, yield, rocket. Plants were grown hydroponic system. Seven concentrations (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 µM) evaluated using sodium selenate. Growth,...
The Cu, Cr and Pb concentrations were determined in Mugil cephalus Eleginops maclovinus, fish species inhabiting the mouths of Maule Mataquito Rivers (Maule Region, Chile) which are consumed by coastal population large quantities.Measurements taken flame atomic absorption spectroscopy to analyse representative muscle tissue two species.The method was validated using certified reference material (DOLT-1).The concentration ranges (mg .kg -1 , dry weight) from river were: Cu 0.5-36.2;Cr...
Vegetables are mostly grown outdoors in areas suitable for certain species and on a seasonal basis, which implies discontinuous rural supply that leads to their transfer urban centers. Its high variability increased costs of transport or maintenance the crop required. A promising solution recent years is vegetables greenhouse hydroponics. Soilless cultivation technologies have facilitated with commercial value, increasing yield per unit area, safety, extension harvest periods. These systems...
Abstract Nitrate accumulation in vegetable represents a serious threat to man's health. Different methods have been reported reduce the nitrate lettuce and other leafy vegetables with or without variation yield.
