Potential of the Common Ice Plant, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum as a New High-Functional Food as Evaluated by Polyol Accumulation

Potential of the Common Ice Plant, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum as a New High-Functional Food as Evaluated by Polyol Accumulation

We measured the concentration of polyols (pinitol, ononitol, and myo-inositol), which are known to have health-promoting and/or disease-preventing functions, in the common ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) cultured under salt- and drought-stressed treatments. In NaCl-treated plant the con...
