The effect of two bacterial strains to enhance bioactive contents (total phenolic compounds, total flavonoid compounds and isoflavones) and antioxidant activity on 3-day-old soybean sprouts were investigated. To identify bacterial determinants responsible for these effects, viable and UV-treated strains were delivered to wounded seeds at different concentration. Multivariate analysis performed with all the evaluated parameters indicated the different effectiveness of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia N5.18 and Pseudomonas fluorescens N21.4 based on different structural and metabolic determinants for each. N21.4 increased total phenolics and isoflavones from the genistein family, while N5.18 triggered biosynthesis of daidzein and genistein families coupled to a decrease in total phenolics, suggesting different molecular targets in the phenilpropanoid pathway. Only extracts from N5.18 treated seeds showed an improved antioxidant activity according to the β-carotene bleaching prevention method. In summary, bioeffectors from both bacterial strains are effective tools to improve soybean sprouts quality; structural elicitors from N5.18 also enhanced antioxidant activity, being the best alternative for further development of a biotechnological procedure.

Edible legume sprouts have been proposed as a promising plant-based source of the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO), which plays a key role in degrading histamine at an intestinal level and preventing the development of histamine intolerance symptoms. However, the temperature and humidity conditions required for seed germination can also favor the rapid growth of yeast and mold, potentially compromising sprout yield and quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different seed disinfection treatments on both the germination rate and DAO enzymatic activity in sprouts of four species.

High copper levels pose a risk to environmental and human health due to their toxicity and widespread industrial application, in which abnormal copper levels are associated with various diseases both in neurodegenerative diseases and plant growth. Thus, a turn-on fluorescent probe BBYD-Cu, based on donor-acceptor type structure, was designed and synthesized with easy preparations. BBYD-Cu can specifically recognized Cu by 2-picolinic ester group, then released the fluorophore to enhance the fluorescent signals.

Modern production-oriented farming has led to a decline in agricultural biodiversity. In Europe, one example of concern is the common hamster , a hibernating rodent once largely distributed in farmlands and now listed as Critically Endangered. The decline of this species is tied to a significant decrease in hamsters' body mass at emergence from hibernation and in reproduction rate.

Selenium-enriched peptides (SePPs) were isolated from Se-enriched soybean sprouts as the selenium (Se) supplement. The preparation of SePPs was optimised, and their Se content, stability during drying, and absorption properties, were examined. The maximum in vitro antioxidant activity of SePPs was achieved after 5 h of alcalase, at 50 °C, pH 9, 3 % substrate concentration, and 5 % enzyme concentration.

Article Synopsis
- Plant hormones, specifically abscisic acid (ABA) and melatonin (MT), enhance flavonoid synthesis in black soybean sprouts when combined with slight acid treatment.
- The treatments significantly increased the levels of flavonoids like daidzin and genistein, with MT helping to alleviate stress while ABA increased certain stress markers.
- The study indicates that using slight acid and plant hormones together can improve the growth conditions and flavonoid content in black soybeans, potentially benefiting their nutritional value.
