This study aimed to evaluate the effects of microwave (MW) treatment on polyphenol forms in safflower seeds and polyphenol compositions in safflower seed oil (SSO) extracted using pressing and subcritical dimethylether extraction (SDE) methods. Results revealed that polyphenols in safflower seeds were predominantly present in free forms (89.51 %), followed by insoluble- (6.19 %) and soluble-bound (4.30 %) forms. MW treatment resulted in a significant increase in the content of free-form phenolics and total phenolic content (TPC). In the untreated and MW-treated samples, 58 phenolics were identified, with45 polyphenols detected in both types of samples. After the MW treatment, N-(p-coumaroyl) serotonin content increased but N-feruloyl serotonin content decreased in safflower seeds. MW treatment significantly increased the acacetin content, TPC, and oxidative stability of SSO. Additionally, the combined effect of MW treatment and SDE significantly improved polyphenol content in SSO, addressing the issue of poor oxidative stability that limits its applications.

In this study, free, soluble bound (glycosylated, esterified), and insoluble-bound phenolic compounds from safflower seeds were identified and quantified by UPLC-MS/MS. The four phenolic fractions were assessed for their antioxidant capacity and inhibition of α-amylase and tyrosinase. In four phenolic fractions, 55 phenolic compounds, mainly flavonoids (19) and phenolic acids (16), were identified.

This study explores the development of diversified legume-oilseed cropping systems aimed at enhancing yield and water-use efficiency in rainfed areas of semi-arid tropics. Dryland agriculture, often limited by mono-cropping practices and erratic rainfall, necessitates innovative approaches for crop intensification and sustainability for the future. The integration of legumes and oilseeds into double cropping systems offers a viable solution for optimizing land use and improving productivity under precipitation-limited conditions.

This study investigated the potential of extended irradiation combined with immature embryo culture techniques to accelerate generation advancements in safflower ( L.) breeding programs. We developed an efficient speed breeding method by applying light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit specific wavelengths, alongside the in vitro germination of immature embryos under controlled environmental conditions.
