Description
Juan Wang and six co-authors test, in 2026 work, whether a beam of electrons can raise the health compounds in broccoli sprouts. The sprouts are rich in a sulfur compound family tied to health gains. The team compared treating dry seeds before sprouting with treating the sprouts themselves, at low and higher doses.
Seed treatment at the low dose more than doubled the target compounds, while sprout treatment cut them. Seed-treated sprouts also gained vitamin C, sugars, and other food value. Gene and chemical reads showed the seed route fed the raw stock for the compounds and reshaped a few key paths. The team calls seed treatment a clean, heat-free way to boost sprout value.
