Abstract
O perfil mineral e o valor nutricional para a alimentação humana e animal de uma nova variedade de aspargo marinho brasileiro Salicornia neei Lag. foram caracterizados por espectrofotometria. As plantas da progênie F4 da variedade pura denominada BTH1, cultivada com efluente salino da carcinicultura, possuem alto conteúdo mineral, particularmente N, K, P, Ca, Fe e Mn. A ingestão diária de 20, 200 e 5 g de caules secos de BTH1-F4 pode ser inserida e suplementada nas dietas, respectivamente, do homem, ovelhas e peixes cultivados comercialmente.
Highlights
Food production from saline agriculture is practiced in coastal areas, arid regions and on solodic soils and human induced salinized soils, through the conscious use of natural resources and for economic benefit
The mineral composition of dry shoots of the novel S. neei is shown in Figure 1 and represents
Most minerals that were quantified in the shoots of S. neei BTH1-F4 cultivated with saline effluent irrigation showed higher concentrations than tissues of wild plants of this species and common vegetables
Summary
Food production from saline agriculture is practiced in coastal areas, arid regions and on solodic soils and human induced salinized soils, through the conscious use of natural resources and for economic benefit This cultivation system requires using plants with morphological and/or physiological mechanisms that tolerate high salinity levels (i.e., halophytes). Due to their high salt tolerance, high nutritional value and long tradition of consumption by humans, the genera Salicornia and Sarcocornia (Amaranthaceae, subfamily Salicorniodeae) are among the most promising halophyte crops Species of these genera have been cultivated with saline water (VENTURA et al, 2011; VENTURA; SAGI, 2013; COSTA et al, 2014b; VENTURA et al, 2015) and saline efluent from shrimp farms (COSTA, 2006; GREIS, 2009; COSTA et al, 2014a; DONCATO; COSTA, 2018). We followed the nomenclature proposed by these authors
