Abstract
Microgreens are immature seedling of edible leafy greens which contains higher phytonutrients compare to mature plant. The present study focused on methanolic extract of microgreen and mature green of coriander secondary metabolites which are medicinally important and used in pharmaceutical company to manufacture new drugs. Qualitative analysis test exhibits the presence of bioactive compounds such as protein, carbohydrates, alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, glycosides, phenolics, tannins, fixed oil and terpenoids. Mammalian body own different inorganic ions such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, sodium, manganese etc. having variety of effect. ICP-OES analysis (inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectrometer) done according FSSAI manual (food safety and standards authority of India) for food analysis to examine quantity of inorganic ions. Coriander microgreen contains high concentration of minerals and phytonutrients compare to mature green. Microgreens can fulfil daily requirements of minerals and help to boost immunity because the presence of terpenoids, alkaloids and phenolics in high amount.
