“…An ICP-AES-based study reported only a traceable quantity of Cu from T. triangulare and 3.2 mg/kg DW from C. argentea . Zunaidi et al recently observed 1.90 mg/kg Cu in the leaves of B. alba using ICP-OES analysis. A study on South African TLVs quantified 70 mg/kg DW of Cu from C. asiatica, which is approximately 10 times higher than the current study …”

“…The C1 and C2 cultivars of I. batatas reported similar quantities of Mn (35.03 and 35.13 mg/kg of DW, respectively). Previous studies obtained 230 and 36 mg/kg of Mn from C. asiatica and B. alba . , Another study quantified 35.23 and 55.29 mg/kg of Mn content from purple and white-leaved cultivars of I. batatas, respectively . Mn is primarily needed in the human body for enzymatic reactions, and its deficiency causes neurological diseases and alters metabolism .…”

Traditional leafy vegetables (TLVs) are rich in beneficial bioactive compounds and mineral elements. The rural areas of Kerala, India, have a diversity of unconventional TLVs, and only limited research is available on their nutritional and biochemical composition. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the mineral elements, metabolites, antioxidants, antioxidant activity, and proximate composition of 14 TLVs. The results show that among the selected TLVs, Talinum triangulare exhibited the highest Zn (1214 mg/kg DW) content, whereas the highest amount of Ca (13,532 mg/kg DW) was found in Centella asiatica. GC−MS analysis of these 14 plants unveiled a total of 193 metabolites. The metabolic pathways with high impact were associated with alanine, aspartate, glutamate, galactose, and glyoxylate−dicarboxylate metabolism and aminoacyl tRNA synthesis. Several metabolites showed differential expression across the samples. Celosia argentia, Ipomoea batatas (sweetheart cultivar), and Ipomoea aquatica showed the highest expression of metabolites such as caffeic acid and xylitol. I. batatas cv. sidekick black (0.49 mg/mL) and Cnidoscolus aconitifolius (0.135 mg/mL) demonstrated the highest antioxidant activities. The 14 plants had varying levels of fiber (2.01−7.31%), fat (2.68−9.36%), protein (4.55−22.32%), and carbohydrate (34.62−69.3%). Overall, these TLVs have high nutritional potential and health-protecting properties, which can boost the well-being of consumers.

In this study, Four types of vegetables were collected from Erbil city of Iraq, some grown locally and some imported. The vegetables they studied were Pepper (Capsicum annuum), Eggplant (Solanum melongena), Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), and Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo), which are commonly found both locally and imported. Additionally, they looked at 3 local vegetables: Radish (Raphanus raphanistrum), Cress (Lepidium sativum), and Parsley (Petroselinum crispum). They collected 12 samples of each vegetable from the Erbil market The heavy metals found in vegetables, such as silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and arsenic (As), were examined using inductively coupled plasma (ICP). To identify health problems, the following metrics were calculated: carcinogenic risks (CR), daily intake (DI), and target hazard quotient (THQ). The majority of veggies generally had metal levels that were under daily dietary guidelines. The amounts of cadmium and silver in imported pepper, local and imported eggplant, imported zucchini, imported tomatoes, radish, cress, and parsley were greater than those deemed safe for daily use. There may be health dangers associated with this. These veggies were determined to be unhealthy when we examined several health hazard indices.

“…B. juncea accumulated Cd, cobalt (Co), Ni, Pb and Zn in leaves, stems and roots, but only Cu and manganese (Mn), as well as Cr, in the stems and roots based on the metal transfer factor of more than 1 [ 37 ]. B. chinensis accumulated higher levels of Cd, Cr and Pb in all plant parts than B. rapa in a pot study using agricultural soils [ 38 ]. Further research is needed to explore metal uptake and tolerance in other Brassica species.…”

“…This study aims to determine the tolerance and accumulation rates of two Brassica species ( Brassica chinensis var. parachinensis , B. chinensis hereafter, and Brassica rapa L., B. rapa hereafter) to Cd, Cr, and Pb, selected due to their prevalence in Brunei Darussalam's agricultural soils [ 38 ]. These species were chosen for their common presence in Brunei's farmland and their known high uptake capacities for these metals [ 38 , 39 ].…”
