Selenium biofortification

Glasnik Zaštite Bilja, 2021
Selenium (Se) is a micronutrient that occurs in trace amounts but numerous organic and inorganic forms. Applied in appropriate concentrations, it has numerous positive effects on the living organisms, while exposure to excessive concentrations of Se leads to toxicity and oxidative stress.

Esterification enhances carotenoid retention during bread‐making

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Carotenoids are plant‐derived antioxidants that contribute to human health and represent key quality traits in wheat‐based foods. However, they are highly unstable and prone to degradation during processing. Xanthophyll esterification has been identified as a natural mechanism that enhances carotenoid stability during grain storage.

Biofortification of major crop plants with iron and zinc - achievements and future directions

Plant and Soil, 2022
Biofortification is a long-term strategy of delivering more iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) to those most in need. Plant breeding programs within the CGIAR and NARS have made major advances in Fe- and Zn-dense variety development and there have been successful ...

Selenium biofortification of pea (Pisum sativum L.) microgreens through seed priming: Effects on agronomic performance and nutritional quality

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Selenium (Se) deficiency is a widespread nutritional problem. Agronomic biofortification of microgreens through seed nutripriming is a promising approach to enhance Se intake. Microgreens, comprising nutrient‐dense foods that can be produced year‐round, are ideal targets for biofortification and may help alleviate malnutrition. This

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) as a Source of Essential Fatty Acids – A Biofortification Approach

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Chickpea is a highly nutritious pulse crop with low digestible carbohydrates (40–60%), protein (15–22%), essential fats (4–8%), and a range of minerals and vitamins. The fatty acid composition of the seed adds value because fats govern the texture, shelf-
