Earlier researchers have highlighted the utilization of salt eustress for boosting the nutritional and phenolic acid (PA) profiles and antiradical potential (ARP) of vegetables, which eventually boost food values for nourishing human diets. Amaranth is a rapidly grown, diversely acclimated C4 leafy vegetable with climate resilience and salinity resistance. The application of salinity eustress in amaranth has a great scope to augment the nutritional and PA profiles and ARP. Therefore, the A. gangeticus genotype was evaluated in response to salt eustress for nutrients, PA profile, and ARP. Antioxidant potential and high-yielding genotype (LS1) were grown under four salt eustresses (control, 25 mM, 50 mM, 100 mM NaCl) in a randomized completely block design (RCBD) in four replicates. Salt stress remarkably augmented microelements, proximate, macro-elements, phytochemicals, PA profiles, and ARP of A. gangeticus leaves in this order: control < low sodium chloride stress (LSCS) < moderate sodium chloride stress (MSCS) < severe sodium chloride stress (SSCS). A large quantity of 16 PAs, including seven cinnamic acids (CAs) and nine benzoic acids (BAs) were detected in A. gangeticus genotypes. All the microelements, proximate, macro-elements, phytochemicals, PA profiles, and ARP of A. gangeticus under MSCS, and SSCS levels were much higher in comparison with the control. It can be utilized as preferential food for our daily diets as these antiradical compounds have strong antioxidants. Salt-treated A. gangeticus contributed to excellent quality in the end product in terms of microelements, proximate, macro-elements, phytochemicals, PA profiles, and ARP. A. gangeticus can be cultivated as an encouraging substitute crop in salt-affected areas of the world.
早期的研究人员强调了利用盐分适度应激来提高蔬菜的营养成分、酚酸(PA)含量和抗自由基潜力(ARP),这最终提升了滋养人类饮食的食物价值。苋菜是一种生长迅速、适应能力多样的C4叶菜类蔬菜,具有气候适应能力和耐盐性。在苋菜中应用盐分适度应激在提高营养成分、PA含量和ARP方面具有很大潜力。因此,对印度苋菜基因型进行了评估,以研究其在盐分适度应激下的营养成分、PA含量和ARP。抗氧化潜力高且产量高的基因型(LS1)在四种盐分适度应激条件(对照、25 mM、50 mM、100 mM NaCl)下,采用随机完全区组设计(RCBD),进行四次重复种植。盐胁迫显著提高了印度苋菜叶片的微量元素、近似成分、大量元素、植物化学物质、PA含量和ARP,顺序为:对照 < 低氯化钠胁迫(LSCS)< 中度氯化钠胁迫(MSCS)< 重度氯化钠胁迫(SSCS)。在印度苋菜基因型中检测到大量的16种PA,包括7种肉桂酸(CAs)和9种苯甲酸(BAs)。与对照相比,MSCS和SSCS水平下印度苋菜的所有微量元素、近似成分、大量元素、植物化学物质、PA含量和ARP都要高得多。由于这些抗自由基化合物具有强大的抗氧化剂,它可以作为我们日常饮食的优质食物。经盐处理的印度苋菜在微量元素、近似成分、大量元素、植物化学物质、PA含量和ARP方面,使最终产品质量优异。印度苋菜可以作为世界盐渍化地区一种令人鼓舞的替代作物进行种植。
