Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Selenate doses showed no overall effects on broccoli growth and biomass.
- Intervention effect The 0.05% Se dose increased floret Se concentration even after boiling.
- Observation Biofortified broccoli florets reached 14.2 mg Se kg−1 dry matter.
- Observation A 100-gram boiled portion was estimated to provide approximately 140 µg Se.
- Intervention effect The small dose reduced floret phytate concentration.
- Intervention effect The small dose increased floret antioxidant concentration.
- Mechanism The authors infer improved nutrient concentration and bioavailability, including Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn.
- Mechanism The authors infer improved antioxidant food quality.
