SummaryMicrogreens contain an abundance of antioxidants (glucosinolates, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds), vitamins (C, E, and K), minerals (iron and magnesium), and other nutrients (fibre and omega‐3 fatty acids). They have been shown to promote cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, combat cancer, manage diabetes, protect the nervous system, and improve digestion. This review investigates the antioxidant content and health implications of microgreens, providing current insights and prospective outlooks. The types of antioxidants found in microgreens, as well as the factors that influence their content, such as species, growing conditions, and harvesting time, are discussed. The review highlights antioxidants' role in cardiovascular health, inflammation reduction, cancer defence, diabetes management, and nervous system protection. The antioxidant properties of microgreen varieties are discussed. The bioavailability of antioxidants from microgreens, culinary applications, and incorporation into the diet are elaborated. The section of future perspectives covers the commercial potential of microgreens, optimal harvest timing, research directions, and potential functional food and nutraceutical uses. The aim and scope of this review are to provide a comprehensive understanding of the antioxidant content in microgreens and their associated health benefits. It also seeks to identify gaps in current research and suggest avenues for future studies, especially concerning their relevance in human health and nutrition.

В последние годы микрозелень, или молодая зелень овощей, собранная на стадии рассады, привлекает особое внимание благодаря пищевой ценности и потенциальной пользе для здоровья. Цель статьи -обзор результатов научных исследований оценки и биодоступности антиоксидантной активности микрозелени, а также состояние и перспективы использования. В качестве материалов исследования послужили научные статьи, опубликованные в период с 2015 по 2023 г. Научный поиск провели в научных базах данных ScienceDirect, Scopus и Web of Science. Поиск проводился с применением дескрипторов «микрозелень», «антиоксидантная активность», «выращивание микрозелени», «пищевая ценность», биодоступность». Среди статей, соответствующих критериям включения, для составления данного обзора было выбрано 88 исследований. Результаты исследований показали, что микрозелень содержит многие биологически активные вещества, оказывающие влияние на антиоксидантную активность. Это глюкозинолаты, каротиноиды и фенольные соединения, витамины (С, Е и К), клетчатка и жирные кислоты омега-3, а также многие микрои макроэлементы (железо и магний) и другие питательные вещества. Антиоксидантные соединения играют ключевую роль в борьбе с окислительным стрессом и имеют ряд преимуществ для здоровья: от здоровья сердечно-сосудистой системы до контроля диабета и потенциальной противораковой эффективности. Вместе с тем качественный и количественный состав многих антиоксидантных веществ, установленных в микрозелени, зависит от вида растения, условия выращивания и времени сбора урожая. Микрозелень является перспективным продуктом функционального и профилактического назначения. Дальнейшие научные исследования должны быть сосредоточены на оптимизации методов выращивания, изучении поглощения антиоксидантов и их потенциального применения в функциональных продуктах питания и нутрицевтиках. Данный обзор может быть использован в качестве материала для дальнейших исследований микрозелени и ее антиоксидантной активности.

Magnesium Effects on Carbohydrate Characters in Leaves, Phloem Sap and Mesocarp in Wax Gourd (Benincasa hispida (Thunb.) Cogn.)

Magnesium (Mg) is critical for agricultural production and human health. The wax gourd yield was greatly affected by Mg fertilizer and it serves as an excellent crop to study Mg functioning in sink growth; however, as a Cucurbitaceae plant which is called a raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs)-transporting plant, its adaptive mechanism of photoassimilates transportation and distribution to Mg nutrients remains unknown. Herein, we used two Mg treatments (+Mg 90 kg ha−1; CK as control 0 kg ha−1) to observe the effects of Mg on the photoassimilates status in the leaves, phloem sap and fruit of wax gourd grown across the entire growth stage under a field condition. For the first time, we confirmed that stachyose and raffinose, which accounted for 54.9–78.0% of the total carbohydrates across the whole growth phase in the phloem sap, were the most predominant sugars used for the long-distance transport of wax gourds. They were strongly increased by Mg application which started from the seedling stage to the end of growing season. This response was earlier and more dramatic than the over-accumulation of sucrose in leaves regardless of positions. Hexoses (glucose plus fructose) were the main soluble sugars in the source leaves as well as in the mesocarp tissues, and their responses to Mg varied with temporal and spatial differences. The difference in the sugar status in the leaves between the upper, middle and lower positions is closely related to the concentration of Mg ions. Compared with Mg deficiency (CK), Mg application stimulated sugar accumulation in the leaves at the seedling and flowering stages by 10.6–24.5%. On the contrary, after fruit set, Mg supplementation significantly reduced the soluble sugar concentration in leaves by 33.5–67.9%. Mg treatment also spiked the fructose and glucose in fruit at the fruit expansion stage by 26.7% and 16.4%, respectively. Taken together, our results showed that Mg tailors the carbohydrate status in the source (leaves), flow (phloem sap) and sink (mesocarp tissues) in wax gourds, especially during the fruit growth period. The lower stachyose in the phloem at the beginning of fruit setting may be an early indication of a curtailed sink process in wax gourds grown in Mg deficient soil.
