Herbal yield, nutritive composition, phenolic contents and antioxidant activity of purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) grown in different soilless media in a closed system

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) is a valuable plant and crop with potential industrial uses, yet little is known on how its cultivation could benefit from soilless substrates. This study aimed to assess the effects of different soilless growth media on herbal yields (fresh and dry), proximate chemical composition, total phenolic, flavonoid and anthocyanin content, and antioxidant activity of purslane cultivated in a closed system. The greatest...
