Contrary to Red, Blue Monochromatic Light Improves the Bioactive Compound Content in Broccoli Sprouts
Broccoli sprouts are rich in health-promoting bioactive compounds. Their content depends on both cultivation light quality and temperature. However, these effects have been previously addressed in isolation. Here, the dual inputs of cultivation light quality [blue (B), red (R), mixture of R and B (R...

Broccoli sprouts are rich in health-promoting bioactive compounds. Their content depends on both cultivation light quality and temperature. However, these effects have been previously addressed in isolation. Here, the dual inputs of cultivation light quality [blue (B), red (R), mixture of R and B (R+B), mixture of R and UVA (R+UVA)] and air temperature (15, 19, and 23 °C) on determining growth, external quality, and the cotyledon and hypocotyl content of five major bioactive compounds were investigated. The carbohydrate status at harvest and postharvest ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (F<sub>v</sub>/F<sub>m</sub>) were also assessed. Hypocotyl length was generally enhanced under monochromatic light (R or B) and elevated temperature. Total phenolic, total flavonoid, and glucoraphanin contents were generally higher in cotyledon as compared to hypocotyl.
