21.01.2022 Just another reason to go for the organic produce with the most bug effected leaves when you are at your local markets! In the past research has supported the ...idea that insect effected produce has improved antioxidant properties but now scientists have proved it. Researchers out of Texas A&M University found that several genes associated with sugar translocation and phenolic compound biosynthesis were overexpressed in fruit when the plant's leaves were exposed to various levels of 'wounding' a few days prior to harvest: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-55033-w.pdf A significant increase in the level of specific phenylpropanoids and tannin derivatives was observed when compared to control including: - Ellagic acid (+58%) - Epicatechin (+100%) - Gallic acid (+68%) - Quercetin (+190%) - Rutin (+137%) Understanding this information is not only interesting but it also has the power to transform the way both organic and conventional fresh produce industries operate and perhaps adopt tools to positively influence the accumulation of more antioxidant rich foods. https://www.futurity.org/organic-produce-insects-2253342/
