Article Abstract

Radish () greens are mostly discarded but have valuable dietary ingredients that can be used as supplements and functional foods to alleviate metabolic diseases, improve gut health, and offer anticancer properties. Although radish roots have been studied in detail, fewer studies have focused on its leaves. Recent studies have demonstrated that radish greens exhibit elevated concentrations of polyphenols and flavonoids in comparison to those observed in radish roots. Additionally, they reportedly include polysaccharides such as rhamnogalacturonan and dietary fiber. This review offers a thorough overview of the bioactive compounds present in radish greens and their extracts while examining the health benefits confirmed through and studies. This review provides insight into the development of functional food products utilizing radish greens as the primary ingredient.

Biodegradable mulch films (BDMs) are considered a promising alternative to conventional polyethylene films, yet their ecological impacts remain poorly characterized. This study evaluated the ecotoxic effects of two biodegradable microplastics (Bio-MPs), namely WBio-MPs and BBio-MPs, derived from white and black poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/polylactic acid (PBAT/PLA) mulch films, on the growth of eight vegetable species commonly cultivated in Southwest China. The plant height, chlorophyll content, shoot biomass and root biomass were employed as testing endpoints.

To address the challenge of high sodium in paocai, this study evaluated the partial substitution of NaCl with KCl during radish paocai fermentation, focusing on microbial kinetics and flavor. The methodology integrated microbial growth modeling with comprehensive flavor analysis (HS-SPME-GC-MS, HS-GC-IMS, E-tongue) and Random Forest (RF) machine learning. Substituting 30% NaCl with KCl (K30) significantly increased mannitol and glutamic acid, enhancing desirable fresh, sweet, and umami tastes.

Agricultural soil has become an important reservoir and transmission source of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) because of the extensive application of organic fertilizers such as livestock and poultry manure in organic agriculture production. This greatly increases the risk of foodborne transmission of ARGs in organic agricultural products. However, the extent of ARGs contamination in different types of organic vegetables and its driving factors remain unclear.
