Rapid, simple and accessible phytonutritional assessment methods in agricultural research.
Article in Journal of the science of food and agriculture, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAgricultural research with respect to studying the effects of genetic background and environmental conditions on plant and commercial parameters is ample. Nevertheless, data on the effects on nutritional value and phytonutritional composition are scarce, despite its significance to the consumer, as well as its importance in providing nutritional security. The present study aimed to simplify, unify and make accessible a set of spectrophotometric nutritional assessment assays, comprising a valuable tool in agricultural research. Efforts were made to provide simple, rapid, small-scale and cost-effective protocols, aiming to minimize resources and time, learning-curve and erring.
resultsWe included assays alongside literature-compliant values for antioxidant capacity (ABTS, DPPH, FRAP), polyphenols and flavonoids (free, conjugated, bound, total), lignans, anthocyanins, tocopherols, phytosterols, glucosinolates, carotenoids, betalains, saponins, phlorotannin, phycobilin, vitamin C, total oil and soluble protein content, in addition to antinutrients- oxalic acid and phytic acid. Calibration curves of recommended standards are included and workflows are demonstrated. Guidelines are also provided for protocol adjustments.
conclusionThis work thus compiles a broad arsenal of rigorous methods, rendering a good spectrum of nutritional assessment protocols, including nutriphytochemical composition alongside a basic bioactivity assessment (antioxidant measurements). These methods are recommended in evaluating the effects of agricultural management practices, such as water and mineral nutrition availability or postharvest storage, or as part of breeding programs, such as in research or commercial R&D laboratories that do not have expertise in nutritional analysis, and require an accessible high-throughput nutritional assessment tool. © 2025 The Author(s).
