“…Sunflower seed oil is an occlusive moisturizer and has emollient properties [15]. It has a high content of essential fatty acids (EFA), especially linoleic acid which could increase the skin barrier [16][17][18]. Linoleic acid content in SSO can be converted into arachidonic acid, a precursor of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which is a known modulator of cutaneous inflammation [12].…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the beneficial effect of topical applications of 20% sunflower seed oil (SSO) in decreasing the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and scoring of atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) index value in mild atopic dermatitis (AD) pediatric patients in Bandung, Indonesia. Methods: This was a randomized study involving 20 children with mild AD (SCORAD<25) in Bandung, Indonesia. They were divided into 2 groups: the experimental group treated with 20% SSO cream and the control group treated with a common moisturizing cream for four weeks. The TEWL score including SCORAD index was evaluated at baseline, week 1, week 2, and week 4. Results: A total of 20 participants completed the study. In the first week, the control group had TEWL score decrement by 36.62% while the experimental group by 28.89% (p=0.88). In the fourth week, the TEWL decrements of the experimental and control group were by 56.94% and 52.50%, respectively (p=0.20), and this was followed by an improvement of SCORAD index in both treatment groups. Conclusion: The 20% SSO cream has a beneficial effect in decreasing the TEWL score and improving SCORAD indices. Therefore, it can be considered as an alternative treatment for mild AD among children.

“…Oxygen is one of the vital elements that involve in various aerobic processes in humans. Antioxidants functions are to protect body cells from damage caused by reactive oxygen species and reduce the risk of developing severe disease conditions such as cataracts, carcinoma, chronic inflammation, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and premature aging (Jiraungkoorskul, 2016). Examples of natural antioxidants from sunflowers, as shown above (Table 3), can help retard or inhibit or prevent oxidation, scavenge free radicals, and thus prevent disease proliferation within the cell (Guo et al., 2017).…”

The use of biofertilizers in developing environmentally friendly agriculture as an alternative to chemical‐based fertilizers in enhancing food production is promising in sustainable agriculture for the improvement in the yield of some commercial crops such as sunflowers and other oilseed crops in terms of quality and quantity. Sunflower is an important oilseed crop native to South America and currently cultivated throughout the world. Generally, the sunflower is considered important based on its nutritional and medicinal value. Due to its beneficial health effects, sunflower has been recognized as functional foods or nutraceutical, although not yet fully harnessed. Sunflower contains mineral elements and phytochemicals such as dietary fiber, manganese, vitamins, tocopherols, phytosterols, triterpene glycosides, α‐tocopherol, glutathione reductase, flavonoids, phenolic acids, carotenoids, peptides, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins; and these compounds contribute to their functional and nutraceutical development. The extract from sunflower is known to be a potential source of antimicrobial, anti‐inflammatory, antitumor, and antioxidants agents that protect human cells against harmful reactive oxygen molecules and pathogenic microorganisms. Also, the pharmacological survey on sunflower had revealed its curative power to different kinds of diseases. The health benefits of sunflower include blood pressure and diabetic control, skin protection, and lowering cholesterol and other functions. This review is written with appropriate referencing to previously published work and provides updated information regarding the new method of organic farming for sunflower production, nutritional and health benefits, and its by‐products as human diet and livestock feed. Also, the constraints of sunflower production are elucidated.

“…Sprouts of the sunflower (Helianthus annuus) have been increasingly demanded by consumers as sunflower sprouts have essential therapeutic benefits and have the ability to protect consumers from diseases (Jiraungkoorskul, 2016). Thus, selenium enrichment in sunflower sprouts would increase their nutritive value for the health of consumers.…”

The effects of the source and level of selenium supplementation were investigated on the yield and selenium concentration in sprouts of sunflower (Helianthus annuus). Samples (125 g) of sunflower seeds were cultivated in plastic trays (30 cm × 60 cm × 4 cm) filled with soil medium. The trays were randomly divided into nine groups with four replicates based on a 2 × 4 + 1 augmented factorial experiment in a completely randomized design. Selenium solutions were prepared from sodium selenate and sodium selenite at five different concentrations: 0 mg/L (control), 0.5 mg/L, 1.0 mg/L, 2.0 mg/L and 3.0 mg/L and applied to the sunflower sprouts daily. The sprouts were harvested at day 7 of cultivation. The results showed that the yield of sunflower sprouts watered with selenate solution was higher (p < 0.05) than that of sunflower sprouts watered with selenite solution. The selenium concentration in sunflower sprouts increased (p < 0.05) with increasing levels of selenium supplementation. The concentration of selenium in its selenate form increased (p < 0.05) more in sunflower sprouts compared to selenium in its selenite form. The selenium concentration in sprouts supplemented with selenate solution containing 2.0 mg Se/L was 903.49 mg/kg. The findings demonstrated that selenate was superior to selenite with regard to the yield and selenium concentration in sunflower sprouts.
