Impact of Storage on Bioactive and Toxic Compounds in Jicama (Pachyrhizus erosus) Tubers: Effects on Thyroid Cancer and Inflammatory Responses
Jicama peel is richer in bioactive compounds than the flesh and exhibits strong cytotoxic effects on thyroid cancer cells, although it also affects normal cells. Freezing reduces phytonutrient content and antioxidant potential but does not alter anti-inflammatory efficacy.
