Lettuce is a popular leafy vegetable and plays an important role in American diet and nutrition. Crisphead lettuce has much lower nutrient content than leaf and romaine types. As the synthesis or absorption of many nutrients is light dependent, the lower nutritional value of crisphead lettuce is...
The vitamin C content in lettuce treated with 100%R was significantly higher than that in lettuce under other treatments in the study. On the whole, the study indicated that the proportions of R and B affected the energy use efficiency and quality of lettuce in closed plant factory, however ...
With dysprosium lamp as the control,the effects of different ratio red(R) and blue(B) LED on the growth,nutritional quality and nitrate nitrogen content of lettuce were investigated.The results showed that the leaves area of the R treatment was significantly greater than that of other treatments...
Feeding studies showed that survival to adult and adult body weight were much reduced when colonies of the migratory grasshopper, Melanoplus sanguinipes (Fabricius), were reared on a diet of fresh lettuce alone. This was largely due to the high moisture content of the fresh lettuce. Dried-lettu...
and the lowest amount of NDF (24.98 g 100 gsup-1/sup) was contained by Napa leaves (iMalva verticillata/i L.). Cellulose content varied between highest Jute leaves 11.09 g 100 gsup-1/sup to lowest Lettuce leaves 4.05 g 100 gsup-1/sup, hemicellulose content varied between highest ...
The results obtained were analyzed and the relative percentages of these compounds were tabulated. Among the five green leafy vegetables the glucose content was highest in lettuce and was least in arugula. Among the five green leafy vegetables the fructose content was highest in parsley and was ...
Interventions employed to improve the nutrient content of O. ficus indica help to improve the nutrient concentration, nutrient composition, and nutrient digestibility of the diet from the species. However, these studies focused on the improvement of the nutrient content and digestibility of the O. ...

Chemical and nutritional content analysis on edible portions of vegetables was carried out. Crude protein (CP) was significantly elevated by 20% (4.5 mg kg1) and 25% (57 mg kg1) on cabbage (during the first season) and lettuce, respectively, when irrigated with diluted greywater compared ...
but also the degree of fermentation and nature of the host-microbial co-metabolism in the colon. While there exists a vast literature on the food content of microalgal and macroalgal foods and supplements, extrapolating these findings to assess their quantitative contribution to human health is more...
