Studying efficiency of using innovative types of biocorrectors to manage microgreens quality and nutrient composition as a source of food functional ingredients

The aim of the study is to develop mechanisms for controlling the activity of the photosynthesis process of individual types of microgreens during vegetation in a closed system of an urban-type phytotron to obtain the maximum possible, genetically determined content of essential phytonutrients, which can subsequently be used as a source of functional ingredients in the diet for the prevention of alimentary diseases. The results of the development of the main elements of biotechnology for growing microgreens in an urban-type phytotron are presented. The obtained results characterize the efficiency of regulation of the activity of metabolic processes occurring during the cultivation of microgreens in the conditions of an urban-type phytotron by controlling individual elements of the biotechnological process - optimization of seed germination technology, intensity and spectrum of light illumination, differentiation of daily temperature and light conditions, use of individual and/or complex bioinducers to control the quality and nutrient composition of microgreens as a source of food functional ingredients for healthy nutrition.The comparative efficiency of treating the studied crops with inorganic phytoinducers 1-germatranol and 1-ethoxysilatrane was established in comparison with the use of microbiological synthesis preparations Nikfan, Azotovit and Super mycorrhiza. The highest indicators for productivity, total content of chlorophyll, carotenoids, phenolic substances, vitamin C and total antioxidant activity were found in samples treated with inorganic preparations 1-germatranol, 1-ethoxysilatrane and organic preparation Super mycorrhiza. It is recommended to use environmentally friendly microgreens grown using optimized technology with a given composition of phytochemical compounds and a high content of functional nutrients for constructing diets for functional and personalized nutrition.
