The use of ultrasound in food processing creates novel and interesting methodologies, which are often complementary to classical techniques. In this work, the effect of heat and the combined treatment heat/ultrasound (thermosonication) on the thermal degradation kinetics of vitamin C in watercress (Nasturtium officinale) was studied in the temperature range of 82.5 to 92.5 °C. First order react...

OBJECTIVE Very recent studies have reported positive effects of dietary nitrate on the oxygen consumption during exercise. This research aimed to study the effect of moderate dose of high-nitrate vegetables, watercress (Nasturtium officinale) and red radish (Raphanus sativus) compared with a control group on the incremental treadmill exercise test following a standard Bruce protocol controlled ...

Background Consuming watercress is thought to provide health benefits as a consequence of its phytonutrient composition. However, for watercress there are currently limited genetic resources underpinning breeding efforts for either yield or phytonutritional traits. In this paper, we use RNASeq data from twelve watercress accessions to characterize the transcriptome, perform candidate gene minin...

Due to the side effects of antibiotics used in treatment diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria, and antibiotic resistance that develops due misuse antibiotics, scientists have turned search for alternative antimicrobial compounds. Plants compounds plants are widely researched because they natural been a familiar resource field complementary medicine centuries. In this study, activities methano...

Abstract Cultures of Nasturtium officinale were cultivated in vitro under illumination with different wavelengths light-emitting diode (LED) light (white LED light—WLED, blue light—B, red light—R, 70% and 30% light—RB, 50% green, 35% 15% light—RBG, yellow, light—RBY, far red, light—RBfR, UV, light—RBUV, darkness—D), white fluorescent (WF)—control conditions. The study investigated the influence...
