“…Marcinek and Krejpcio [61] displayed the content of individual fatty acids of chia by different studies showing that the results presented in Table 6 are generally in line with existing literature [53,54,62,63]. This is also valid for the following sowing density and fertilizer trials (Tables S2 and S3).…”

To obtain high chia seed yields and seed qualities, a suitable crop management system needs to be developed for the given growing conditions in southwestern Germany. Field experiments were conducted at the experimental station Ihinger Hof in two consecutive years (2016, 2017). The study aimed to evaluate yield and quality traits of chia depending on different (i) row spacing (35, 50 and 75 cm), (ii) sowing densities (1, 1.5 and 2 kg ha−1) and, (iii) N-fertilization rates (0, 20 and 40 kg N ha−1). It consisted of three independent, completely randomized field experiments with three replications. Results showed that chia seed yields ranged from 618.39 to 1171.33 kg ha−1 and that a thousand seed mass of 1.14 to 1.24 g could be obtained. Crude protein-, crude oil- and mucilage contents varied from 18.11–23.91%, 32.16–33.78% and 10.00–13.74%, respectively. Results indicated that the year of cultivation and the accompanied environmental conditions, like precipitation or temperature, influenced the determined traits more than the applied agronomic practices. As average seed yields exceeded those obtained in the countries of origin (Mexico, Guatemala) while having comparable quality characteristics, chia holds great potential as an alternative crop for farmers in southwestern Germany.

“…The leaves of this plant has a pleasantly sweet and refreshing taste which is educe by diterpene glycosides (stevioside and rebaudiosides), a high-potency sweeteners and substitute to sugar, being 300 times sweeter than sucrose (Madan et al, 2010;Megeji et al, 2005;Singh and Rao, 2005;Soejarto et al, 1983;Soejarto DD, Kinghorn AD, 1982;Yadav et al, 2011). Stevia is a well-known therapeutic agent serve as an efficient medication for diabetes, hypertension, myocardial and antimicrobial infections, dental troubles, and tumors (Chan et al, 1998;Gregersen et al, 2004;Jayaraman et al, 2008;Jeppesen et al, 2003Jeppesen et al, , 2002Kujur et al, 2010;Marcinek and Krejpcio, 2016;Muanda et al, 2011;Philippe et al, 2014;Planas and Kucacute, 1968;Shivanna et al, 2013;Šic Žlabur et al, 2013;Singh et al, 2015). In present time people are very calorie conscious which increases use of stevia in preparation of non-calorie food stuffs and become a major sweetening agent in food products in South-east Asia (Ashwell,billion US dollar.…”

“…Historically, Brazilian and Paraguayan have used S. rebaudiana leaves as a sweetener. Nevertheless, despite this major use, the nutritional composition of stevia was also associated with numerous human health benefits, including antihypertensive, antihyperglycemic, and anticavity, among other effects (Khiraoui & Guedira, ; Marcinek & Krejpcio, ).…”

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, a plant from South America and indigenous of Paraguay, has shown several biological effects and healthy properties, although it is especially used in South America and some Asiatic regions. In addition, it is a natural sweetener, almost 300 times sweeter than sucrose, being attributed to its phytoconstituents prominent antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic (antihyperglycemic, insulinotropic, and glucagonostatic), antiplatelet, anticariogenic, and antitumor effects. In this sense, this work aims to provide an extensive overview on the historical practices of stevia and its effects in human health based on its chemical composition and applications for both food and pharmaceutical industries.
