Brassicaceae plants, with their wide variety and nutritional qualities, have gained great interest due to their high content of glucosinolates, which have demonstrated anti-oncogenic properties. This paper examines the most relevant studies on Brassicaceae plants related to food and melatonin, particularly focusing on the role of melatonin in seedling growth and postharvest preservation of cabbage, rapeseed, and broccoli. The application of melatonin has shown to extend the shelf life of fresh-cut broccoli while maintaining optimal visual and nutritional parameters.
Brassicaceae plants are of great interest for human consumption due to their wide variety and nutritional qualities. Of the more than 4000 species that make up this family, about a hundred varieties of 6-8 genera are extensively cultivated. One of the most interesting aspects is its high content of glucosinolates, which are plant secondary metabolites with widely demonstrated anti-oncogenic properties that make them healthy. The most relevant Brassicaceae studies related to food and melatonin are examined in this paper. The role of melatonin as a beneficial agent in seedling grown mainly in cabbage and rapeseed and in the postharvest preservation of broccoli is especially analyzed. The beneficial effect of melatonin treatments on the organoleptic properties of these commonly consumed vegetables can be of great interest in the agri-food industry. Melatonin application extends the shelf life of fresh-cut broccoli while maintaining optimal visual and nutritional parameters. In addition, an integrated model indicating the role of melatonin on the organoleptic properties, the biosynthesis of glucosinolates and the regulatory action of these health-relevant compounds with anti-oncogenic activity is presented.
