Chemical profiling, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties of Tropaeolum majus L. extract as a functional food ingredient
This study provides the first report of glucosinolate content in nasturtium cultivated in Colombia and describes the preparation and characterization of an extract obtained with generally recognized as safe (GRAS) solvents. The findings highlight its potential application in functional foods and nutraceuticals.
