However, their levels in foods could vary depending on the farming systems. Hence, this study examined the levels of β-carotene, vitamin C, and E in hydroponic and soil-grown spinach, tomatoes, and strawberries. A cross-sectional study with an analytical component was conducted to facilitate this comparison. Ten samples were collected from hydroponic farms and nine were from soil-based farms. The data was analyzed using SPSS (version 25). The level of vitamin C was significantly higher in hydroponically grown tomatoes (<i>p</i> = 0.008) and strawberries (<i>p</i> = 0.037) compared to those from the soil-based system. The level of vitamin E was significantly higher in hydroponic tomatoes, spinach, and strawberries (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.05) compared to those grown in the soil-based system. Β-carotene level was significantly higher only in the hydroponically grown spinach (<i>p</i> < 0.05) unlike tomatoes, and it was not detected in both hydroponic and soil-based strawberries. In conclusion, the findings of this study show a remarkable nutrient accumulation in some FAVs grown in the hydroponic farming system leading to a higher nutrient density compared to those grown in the soil-based systems. Training and provision of resources for hydroponic farming could be done to scale up production in the country to promote food security by obtaining nutritious FAVs within a short period throughout the year.</p>","PeriodicalId":12418,"journal":{"name":"Food Science & Nutrition","volume":"13 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fsn3.70403","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144213897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seven RCTs, including 302 patients with a mean age of 47 years (23–61) and a mean follow-up time of 39 days (21–60), were included in this study. The dosage varied from 85 g/day to 750 mg/kg/day. Antioxidant parameters reported included superoxide dismutase (five studies), ferric-reducing antioxidant power (two studies), glutathione peroxidase (two studies), retinol (two studies), β-carotene (two studies), and α-tocopherol (two studies). Oxidative stress parameters included protein carbonyls (four studies), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (two studies), malondialdehyde (two studies), nitric oxide (two studies), T-SH (two studies), and CAT (three studies). Inflammatory markers included two studies reporting on tumor necrosis factor-a (two studies) and one study reporting on interleukin-1, interleukin-6, and C-reactive protein.

Infrared treatment caused a significant, gradual increase in the total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of the chia samples. Total flavonoid and total dietary fiber content increased at 700 and 900 W treatments. Chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid (except 1100 W–50 min treatment), rutin, and quercetin (only at 700 W–50 min & 900 W–25 min treatments) increased, whereas caffeic and p-coumaric acid decreased by infrared treatment. FTIR spectra for infrared treated samples have all specific peaks reported in the literature for chia. Slight changes were observed in peak intensities of infrared treated samples. Infrared treatment enhanced emulsion activity (up to 900 W–25 min) and stability (up to 700 W–50 min) but adversely affected the water and oil holding capacities. Infrared treatment of chia seeds enhanced the extractability of health beneficial constituents (e.g., phenolics and flavonoids) probably due to thermal breakdown of cellular components, and this may result in a health promoting effect.

This increasing demand for food, coupled with consumers' desire for diversity and safety, has spurred innovations like Genetically Modified Foods (GMF). These programs involve altering the genetic makeup of crops and livestock to improve outcomes such as yield, resistance to pests, and overall efficiency. GMF programs constitute several innovative strategies such as technological interventions, including the use of better seeds and pest control methods to combat poor harvests and inefficiencies. Transgenic technology, a key innovation, modifies specific genes in crops to enhance resistance to insects, pathogens, and environmental stressors, leading to increased productivity and efficiency for farmers. Despite these benefits, GMF has sparked public concerns and controversies related to ethics, potential increases in global antibiotic resistance, nutritional quality, toxicity, allergies, and environmental risks. While these issues have generated debate, most studies suggest that the advantages of GMF, such as improved crop quality and resilience, outweigh the disadvantages. This review highlights the safety of GMF, noting that natural gene recombination through selection, breeding, and mutation has long been beneficial. Additionally, it addresses consumer perceptions and the significant concerns surrounding environmental risks and health hazards associated with GMF.
