Chitosan Oligosaccharide Lactate Increases Productivity and Quality of Baby Leaf Red Perilla

Perilla (Perilla frutescens) belongs to the Lamiaceae family, is used as a spicy culinary herb leafy vegetable well medicinal and ornamental plant. However, little known about protocols for baby leaf perilla production. Native chitosan well-known biostimulant in crop plant Nevertheless, influence of water-soluble oligosaccharide lactate (ChOL) on growth bioactive compounds content remains unknown. The present pot experiment determines effects ChOL (0, 50 100 mg/L) selected biochemical characteristics red perilla. Compared untreated plants, application at mg/L increased height (by 14.6% 13.2%), fresh weight above-ground part plants 17.1% 26.7%), leaves 21.8% 35.5%) roots 52.2%). levels total reducing sugars, polyphenolics, flavonoids anthocyanins were significantly higher all treated with tested concentrations. This was confirmed by macromolecules (FT-IR) studies showing band intensity key functional groups samples. also enhanced antioxidant activity using DPPH, ABTS O2− radical scavenging assays. Based research, results suggested that may be an effective high quality production
