| The overall objective of the PhD project is to study the impact of growth system on the content of selected and presumably health-promoting bioactive secondary metabolites in certain crops of high abundance in the human diet. Additionally, the project aim is to study the content of selected bioactive secondary metabolites in human diets and discuss their possible health effects based on literature search and selected analysis of human samples from a human intervention study based on the same cultivated crops as mentioned above. In conclusion, this study showed that the content of presumable health-promoting secondary metabolites was not significantly different between organic and conventional food products, even though cultivation studies are considered... |

| The objective of the present study was to compare the content of selected bioactive compounds in organically and conventionally grown crops, and to evaluate if the ability of the crops to synthesize selected secondary metabolites was systematically affected by growth systems across different growth years as well as soil types. The results showed that contents of neither polyacetylenes and carotenoids in carrots, flavonoids in onions, nor phenolic acids in carrots and potatoes were significantly influenced by growth system. Thus it could not be concluded that the organically grown crops had higher contents of bioactive compounds than the conventionally grown. This indicates that giving preference to organic products because they contain more bioactive... |
