“…The major volatile compounds in Arugula include sulphur/ nitrogen containing compounds (4-methyliobutyl isothiocyanate and 5-methylthiopentanenitrile), fatty acids, esters, and also volatile aglycones [68]. Villatoro-Pulido, Font, Saha, Obregón-Cano, Anter, Muñoz-Serrano [69] also revealed that Arugula extracts and its sulforaphane were able to detoxify the genotoxic activity of hydrogen peroxide with inhibition rates ranging from 0.13-0.93. In addition, a possible association was established between the consumption of arugula and the antioxidant defence system of mammals.…”

In recent years, common vegetables have become very attractive for consumers because of their potentially beneficial volatile compounds contained in them. However, the role played by volatile organic compounds in disease prevention has not received the same attention. Radishes, turnips, carrots, and beets are classified as root vegetables. Leafy vegetables include the cruciferous kale, endives, and lettuce. The flowery parts of vegetables are the broccoli, cauliflower, leeks, artichoke and the Allium genera. The fruits are structures usually containing seeds which develop after fertilization or pollination [1]. Thus, eggplants, cucumber, beans, squash, bell peppers, corn and tomatoes fall into this category. Flavor compounds in vegetables are contained in the intact tissues as non-volatile precursors which become volatile by enzymatic actions once the tissue is disrupted by crushing, cutting or shredding. Vegetable volatiles are nitrogen and sulphur compounds, and carbonyls [2]. Vegetables are not only nutrient-dense food sources, but they are also rich sources of bioactive volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are organic compounds with high vapor pressure at room temperature. VOCs are many, ubiquitous and include naturally occurring chemicals. Most scents or odors are regarded as VOCs. Literature sources have shown that a multitude of bioactive compounds in vegetables have anticarcinogenic properties [3,4]. These nutrient-dense and bioactive volatile foods have the potential to protect against chronic and degenerative diseases including diabetes and cardiovascular diseases [5,6]. The aim of the study is to review the bioactivities of volatile organic constituents of common vegetables in human health.

“…Spinach (Spinacia oleracea, Amaranthaceae family) represents a main member of leafy vegetables and has been shown to decrease postprandial arterial stiffness and systolic blood pressure in randomized controlled trials [5][6][7]. Moreover, garden rocket (Eruca sativa), a green-leafy vegetable from the Brassicaceae, has been proposed to possess anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-ulcer properties [8,9]. Asteraceae is another botanical family of leafy vegetables representing amongst others endive and lettuce.…”

Food intake biomarkers for green leafy vegetables, bulb vegetables, and stem vegetables: a review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Numerous studies acknowledged the importance of an adequate vegetable consumption for human health. However, current methods to estimate vegetable intake are often prone to measurement errors due to self-reporting and/or insufficient detail. More objective intake biomarkers for vegetables, using biological specimens, are preferred. The only concentration biomarkers currently available are blood carotenoids and vitamin C, covering total fruit and vegetable intake. Identification of biomarkers for specific vegetables is needed for a better understanding of their relative importance for human health. Within the FoodBAll Project under the Joint Programming Initiative "A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life", an ambitious action was undertaken to identify candidate intake biomarkers for all major food groups consumed in Europe by systematically reviewing the existent literature. This study describes the review on candidate biomarkers of food intake (BFIs) for leafy, bulb, and stem vegetables, which was conducted within PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science for studies published through March 2019. Results: In total, 65 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility for leafy vegetables, and 6 full-text articles were screened for bulb and stem vegetables. Putative BFIs were identified for spinach, lettuce, endive, asparagus, artichoke, and celery, but not for rocket salad. However, after critical evaluation through a validation scheme developed by the FoodBAll consortium, none of the putative biomarkers appeared to be a promising BFI. The food chemistry data indicate that some candidate BFIs may be revealed by further studies. Conclusion: Future randomized controlled feeding studies combined with observational studies, applying a nontargeted metabolomics approach, are needed in order to identify valuable BFIs for the intake of leafy, bulb, and stem vegetables.

“…(commonly known as Rocket salad) belongs to family Brassicaceae. E. sativa is a good source of vitamin C and antioxidants such as phenolic compounds, carotenoids, glucosinolates, and degradation products as isothiocyanates (Martinez-Sanchez et al 2008;Villatoro-Pulido et al 2012;Martinez-Ballesta et al 2013;Messiha et al 2013;Ahmed et al 2014;El-Masry et al 2015). Glucosinolates (GSLs) are sequestered in the vacuoles of Brassicaceae plants only (Daxenbichler et al 1991).…”

Bioherbicidal activity of Eruca sativa fresh shoot aqueous extract for the management of two annual weeds associating Pisum sativum plants

2019

Background: Brassica species have been established to have very high concentrations of glucosinolates, flavonols, and other secondary metabolites that achieved good results in weed management strategy. So, this study highlights how to investigate the allelopathic potential of Eruca sativa fresh shoot aqueous extract as a natural bioherbicide to control Phalaris minor and Beta vulgaris weeds beside its effect on Pisum sativum growth as well as yield traits. Two pot experiments were conducted in the greenhouse of the National Research Centre, Dokki, Giza, Egypt, in the two successive winter seasons of (2016)(2017)(2017)(2018). Treatments were applied by spraying E. sativa fresh shoot aqueous extract once at 14 days after sowing and twice at 14 and 21 days after sowing at rates of 20, 40, 60, and 80% w/v. Results: E. sativa fresh shoot aqueous extract at 80% achieved the maximum inhibition effect on the growth of both weeds. This in turn was reflected on P. sativum plant and gave the observable highest growth and yield parameters. Chemical analysis of E. sativa shoot powder approved the presence glucosinolates (9.6 μmol/g) and phenolic compounds (46.5 mg/g) which may be responsible for the allelopathic effect. Conclusion: Spraying of aqueous fresh shoot extract of E. sativa at 80% (w/v) can be applied as natural selective bioherbicide in controlling the two annual grassy and broad-leaved weeds associated with P. sativum plants.
