Nutritional Composition, Minerals and Vitamins analysis of Brussels Sprouts Genotypes: A Comparative Study Across Diverse Growing Environments
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study examined the nutritional composition, mineral and vitamins analysis of Brussels sprouts genotypes cultivated under diverse environmental conditions.Four genotypes Hild's Ideal, Long Island Improved, Urja and Franklin F were evaluated under open and 1 protected environment.There were statistically significant variations in nutrient composition between cultivation environments.Brussels sprouts were characterized as a rich source of minerals including iron, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, potassium, zinc and manganese.The highest moisture (87.35%) and crude fat (1.53%) were recorded in Franklin F while the genotype Urja exhibited the highest crude fibre (3.59%) 1 under polyhouse conditions.Long Island Improved genotype demonstrated the highest total carbohydrates (31.79%) and food energy (192.26Kcal/100g)under open field conditions.Brussels sprouts also found to be rich source of Vitamins C, E, K and A. This study highlights the critical influence of environment conditions on the nutritional and functional quality of Brussels sprouts and provides insights into optimizing cultivation strategies to enhance their health benefits.
