Summary: Mustard plants are cultivated for use as spice, medicine, and edible oils. The seeds of different mustard species are increasingly used in the food and beverage industry due to their nutritional and functional properties, but they may contain harmful compounds. Further research is needed to evaluate the potential health risks associated with the consumption of mustard seeds.

Summary: Lung cancer is the second-highest cause of mortality in Thailand. Mustard green and rat-tailed radish plants grown from cold plasma treated seeds exhibit strong antioxidant activity and anticancer effects against A549 lung cancer cells. Cold plasma plays a key role in enhancing cytotoxicity and improving chemopreventive benefits.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of cold plasma and elicitors on the growth of Thai rat-tailed radish microgreens. It was found that the combination of cold plasma and calcium chloride led to the highest content of isothiocyanates and antioxidant compounds in the microgreens, showing potential chemopreventive benefits.

Summary: This study analyzed the nutritional compounds and antioxidant activities of five Brassicaceae species, with broccoli having the highest polyphenols, carotenoids, and chlorophylls, while mustard was rich in ascorbic acid and total sugars. Rocket salad showed the lowest antioxidant content and activity. Broccoli microgreens displayed the best overall nutritional profile and are considered the most promising functional food among those examined.

Summary: Vegetable oils are chosen by consumers for their bioactive substances and quality. This study compared the quality of oils obtained from germinated rape seeds and white mustard seeds by analyzing their acid and peroxide values. The peroxide value decreased significantly during germination due to the utilization of oxygen, leading to lipid peroxidation. The activity of peroxidase increased during germination, and there was an increase in polyunsaturated fatty acids in mustard oil.

Summary: The green synthesis of bioactive silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Mentha pulegium extract under alkaline conditions showed accelerated formation with small average size but poor polydispersity. The AgNPs had a hexagonal structure and spherical shape, with high stability and exhibited potent antioxidant and significant inhibitory activity for both bacterial and cancer cell lines. The AgNPs biosynthesized from M. pulegium under alkaline conditions could act as better anticancer agents in biomedicine.

Summary: The study found that cold plasma treatment can reduce the frequency and diversity of fungi inside seeds, but it has a negative impact on seed germination, especially when the treatment time exceeds 90 seconds. Fungal strains of Alternaria and Epicoccum were found to be the most resistant to cold plasma treatment. The results suggest that cold plasma treatment may be suitable for postharvest and food production, but not for further seed sowing.

Summary: Carbon dot (CDs) fluorescent probes have gained growing interest due to their non-destructive, non-contact, sensitive, fast, and low-cost characteristics. In this study, CDs were synthesized using mustard seeds as the carbon source through a simple hydrothermal method, achieving a high quantum yield. As a label-free fluorescent probe, CDs were used for the detection of Fe3+ ions in environmental water and human cells. The study also investigated the fluorescence quenching mechanism of CDs caused by Fe3+ ions.

Summary: A novel strategy using pulsed-driven cold plasma jet was proposed for the removal of sulfur mustard surrogate. Under optimal conditions, the plasma treatment achieved high degradation fraction and the degradation products turned into gas products. Short-lived excited species and long-lived reactive species played an important role in the oxidation and mineralization process. This work shed light on the portable design of cold plasma jet for the detoxification of chemical warfare agents.

Summary: SFN and ERN, two isothiocyanates, exhibit chemopreventive and anticancer activities by modulating cellular redox status and showing significant antioxidant effects at elevated temperatures. These effects are attributed to their ability to induce cytoprotective enzymes and participate in radical trapping during lipid oxidation.
