Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Metabolomic analysis identified twenty-two amino acids, five nucleosides, and five sugars.
- Observation Metabolomic analysis identified four organic acids.
- Intervention effect LED treatments enhanced red color of amaranth microgreens.
- Intervention effect LED treatments shortened amaranth microgreen hypocotyls.
- Intervention effect R:B and R:G:B light increased vitamin E, vitamin C, and carotenoid levels.
- Intervention effect R:B and R:G:B light lowered phenolic compound and B vitamin levels.
- Intervention effect R:B light gave higher sugar and acid levels than white and ambient light.
- Intervention effect R:B and R:G:B light lowered amino acid and nucleoside content.
- Intervention effect R:B and R:G:B did not raise total phytonutrient production.
- Recommendation The authors recommend testing higher green ratios and different light intensities and exposure times.
