Influence of soil salinity on the protein and fatty acid composition of the edible halophyte Halimione portulacoides

As the worldwide population continues to rise, so does global demand for agricultural production. This scenario of uncertain food supply is exacerbated by high salinization soils worldwide, a serious constraint crop productivity. In this context, there an increasing need alternative sustainable crops. Halophytes are thought be promising source due their natural ability grow in saline and multiple potential uses industry. study, protein fatty acid content halophyte Halimione (Atriplex) portulacoides (L.) was studied different conditions. Although more studies needed explore nutritional properties H. portulacoides, data presented here suggest that should considered as agriculture.
