1. Non-haem iron absorption from a variety of vegetable meals was studied in parous Indian Women, using the erythrocyte utilization of radioactive Fe method. 2. The studies were undertaken to establish whether Fe absorption could be correlated with the chemical composition of the foodstuff. 3. Addition of the following organic acids commonly found in vegetables, improved the geometric mean Fe a...

In the present paper, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized using the Brassica oleraceae fruit extract under the simple and eco-friendly conditions. The reaction between silver nitrate, as metal source, and aqueous extract of Brassica oleraceae fruit, as reductant agent, produced AgNPs in high yield. The formation of AgNPs was confirmed by means of UV-Vis spectroscopy and scanning elect...

Broccoli (Brassica Oleraceae var. Italica) is an unusual vegetable that has gained appeal among Indian producers in recent years due to its excellent nutritional content and market potential. An experiment was done measure the broccoli’s growth, yield, quality. The research carried out at Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj during year 2021-2022. laid Ran...

Cruciferous vegetables, in particular those included into the Brassica genus, are good sources of a variety of nutrients and health-promoting phytochemicals. Phenolic compounds are the major antioxidants of Brassica; hence the contribution of Brassica vegetables to health improvement has largely been associated to their antioxidant capacity. This study aimed to assess anti-diabetic, antilipidem...

The consumption of phytochemicals such as carotenoids and polyphenols within whole fruits and vegetables has been associated with decreased incidence of various inflammation and oxidative stress related chronic diseases, which may be due to direct antioxidant effects, or indirect mechanisms such as affecting signal transduction/gene expression. Within the present study, we investigated the anti...

Aminopeptidase, preferring phenylalanine-p-nitroanilide as substrate, and proline iminopeptidase, highly-specific for proline-p-nitroanilide, were isolated from cabbage leaves (Brassica oleraceae var. capitata). As pH optima, 7.2-7.5 for aminopeptidase activity and 8.0-8.5 for proline iminopeptidase were determined. Both peptidases were strongly inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoic acid, heavy m...

Glucosinolate profiles differ among plant species and their isothiocyanate (ITC) derivatives differ in toxicity to nematodes. Successful management of plant–parasitic nematodes by ITCs requires the incorporation of appropriate amounts of glucosinolate-containing biomass. Plant materials, containing glucosinolate-precursors of the ITCs most toxic to nematodes, were selected and applied to soil b...

The decline in production of cabbage Indonesia is due to the lack intensive and traditional cultivation this plant, ie without use spacing frequency that not appropriate, resulting a seizure nutrients from soil by plants organ cover plant itself which inhibits photosynthesis process. So research was conducted know effect effective can increase growth plants. This study used single factor random...
