EFFECT OF SELENITE ON THE TOTAL POLYPHENOL CONTENT AND ANTIOXIDATIVE ACTIVITY OF AQUEOUS AND ETHANOLIC EXTRACTS IN SPROUTS OF FOUR AGRONOMIC SPECIES

Sprouts from some agricultural plants grown under dark conditions are known to contain some functional food ingredients. Recently, great attention has been paid to foods with natural antioxidative ingredients for human health and animal feed. Among the functional food compounds, phenolics and polyph...
