Kimchi cabbage is widely consumed in Korea, with the popularity of this pickled vegetable dish growing internationally due to its health benefits. In study, physical (size, color), functional (antioxidant activity, total polyphenol, and flavonoid content), nutritional (water- fat-soluble vitamins) characteristics two new kimchi varieties, namely red gold cabbages (RKC GKC, respectively), were a...

Heavy metal pollution is a serious problem worldwide. In this study, 41 soil samples and 32 cabbage samples were collected from the area surrounding the Jinsha coal-fired power plant (JCFP Plant) in Guizhou Province, southwest China. Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Cu and Cr concentrations in soil samples and cabbage samples were analysed to study the pollution sources and risks of heavy metals around the powe...

The novel 3D SnO cabbages self-assembled by nanosheets were successfully synthesized via template-free hydrothermal growth method under facile conditions. The XRD results manifest that the as-prepared SnO is tetragonal phase. The TEM and HRTEM results show that the cabbage nanosheets are polycrystalline structure consisted of considerable single-crystalline nanoparticles. Two typical Raman mode...

Subcellular particles, identical in appearance to spherosomes observed in situ, were isolated from onions (Allium cepa L.) and cabbages (Brassica capitata L.). They were minute spherules about 1 micron in diameter, filled with an evenly stained osmiophilic matrix and delimited by a single, fineline membrane 20 to 30 A thick."Spherosomes" isolated from onions and cabbages were compared with "oil...

Abstract The color and nutritional quality of vegetables directly affect the choices consumers thus commercial value vegetable products. Green light can penetrate outer leaves reach inner to promote photochemical reaction overlapping head vegetables. However, whether this promotion increase components change cabbages, which is one major largely produced worldwide, remains unclear. Therefore, we...
