Аннотация
The increasing global demand for sustainable and nutrient-dense food sources has driven the exploration of innovative agricultural practices. This study investigated the sustainable hydroponic cultivation of green fodder, focusing on the phytochemical evaluation of microgreen-derived protein powder for enhanced nutritional applications. Hydroponic systems were optimized for the growth of microgreens, and the resulting biomass was processed into protein powder. Phytochemical profiling, including total phenolic content, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity, was conducted to assess the nutritional quality of the derived protein powder.
