Influence of Microgreens Biofortification with Selenium on Their Quantitative and Qualitative Parameters

The study monitored the effect of differentiated mineral nutrition microgreens species by solution sodium selenate (2 mg Se/L) on content Se, chlorophylls, and other minerals. Chlorophylls were measured spectrophotometrically, Se electrothermal atomic absorption method (ETAAS) with Zeeman-effect background elements’ concentration was performed a dual Inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) iCAP7600 instrument. selenium in fresh weight moved average from 0.013 to 12.556 μg/g. Selenisation increased all tested significantly (p < 0.05) without impacting yield. chlorophyll 249.9 mg/kg (Mizuna) 604.4 (Arugula) significant differences between species, significance ≤ variants. influence selenisation minerals differed due genetic variability. A increase Ca observed green basil (10.7%) cress (20.9%); Fe (1.6%) (40.9%); K arugula (1.6%), (3.9%) (2.8%); Zn (2.6%), (8.6%), (2.7%) radish (5.9%); Ba (5.6%) (23.9%).
