In a recent study, we examined the concentrations of heavy metals, namely lead (Pb), arsenic (As), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr) and copper (Cu), in seven categories food, specifically rice, wheat, maize, lentil, black gram, mung bean pea (B-22). The ranges Ni, Cu, As, Cd, Cr Pb food items were 0–4.7, 1.1–8.5, 0.01–8, 0.001–0.2, 0–4.7 0–0.8 mg per kg fresh weight (fw), respectively. estimated daily intakes (EDIs) Ni exceeded maximum tolerable intake (MTDI), stipulating that these...
Dragon fruit has significant economic value in many countries due to excellent nutritional content, health advantages, and adaptability different climates, making it an important crop the global industry. This study aimed gather comprehensive data on three dragon cultivars by analysing levels of micronutrients, fibre, carbohydrates, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals their pulps. Uniform samples underwent thorough analysis for proximate composition, mineral pigments, vitamin C, with...
This study aimed to evaluate the biochemical and nutritional profiles of three cauliflower cultivars—Valentena, Carotena, Snow White—focusing on chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanins, vitamin C, flavonoids, phenolics, antioxidant activity. Uniform curds were harvested at 60 days post-sowing from Baratia, Dumuria, Khulna, analyzed Khulna Agricultural University. Valentena exhibited highest chlorophyll content (40.06±0.39 µg/100g FW a, 28.98±3.35 b), superior lycopene (8.71±0.38 FW) levels....
Red and green lettuce baby greens provide additional health benefits because they are high in nutrients, pigments, antioxidants. This study examines red coral (Lactuca sativa L. var. cripsa) longifolia) grown for 20 days a soil-vermicompost-compost (50:30:20) mixture to determine how different LED light spectra affect their growth, pigment accumulation, antioxidant qualities. Plant height, biomass, other growth parameters were evaluated manually, while phenolics, flavonoids analyzed using...
This study investigated how LED light exposure influences the growth and nutrient content of two lettuce microgreens over 10 days in a randomized setup. Lettuce seeds underwent surface sterilization, germination prepared soil, to different conditions. Morphological parameters pigment analysis, including stem length, petiole leaf area, plant height, root fresh weight, dry matter percentage, were evaluated. Green outperformed red studied morphological parameters, length (2.74±0.22 cm), height...
Despite their overlooked status, weeds are increasingly recognized for therapeutic value, aligning with historical reliance on plants medicine and nutrition. This study investigates the medicinal potential of native weed species in Bangladesh, specifically pigments, antioxidants, free radical scavenging abilities. Twenty different were collected from vicinity Khulna Agricultural University processed Crop Botany Department Laboratory. Pigment levels determined using spectrophotometer...
