Microgreens such as the Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is gaining popularity as part of human diet for its superior nutritional values and health benefits to consumers. However, the safety of consuming this microgreens brought concerns on the possible contaminants that may lead to poisoning and other consumer disadvantages.

Join Dr. Surisa Phornvillay of Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) as she reveals the (Revolution) of Roselle Microgreens in an exciting technique to improve the method of decontamination, seed health, and enhancing the beneficial nutrients of Roselle Microgreens.

This second episode of AgriMAT: Agricultural Methods and Advance Technologies Webinar series, Dr. Phornvillay will talk to us about the “Advance oxidation process (UV-C/silent H2O2) combined with Micro-Nano Bubbles on Decontamination, Seed Viability & Enhancing Phytonutrients of Roselle Microgreens”. Catch us this Saturday (May 27, 2023) at 2:30pm via Zoom.

Prof. Peter James Icalia Gann of Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) has led a groundbreaking research study on growing gene-edited rice on Mars conducted in the University of Arkansas (U of A) in the United States.

A breakthrough in growing food on the Red Planet, the study suggests that rice can grow and survive in Martian regolith through control of stress-related genes and the toxic perchlorate salts in the planet soil.
