English Abstract

Germination is a way to improve agricultural productivity and easily to use by low income families, in particular with using some elicitors in germination for enhancing the nutrition value of the seeds by sprouting.

For their highly metabolic activities after harvesting, radish seeds were selected for performance of this study.

The effect of using abiotic elicitor (saline water, by NaCl at different concentrations) and biotic elicitor (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on sprouting of radish seed has been investigated.

After germinating radish seeds for six days using elicitors, chemical analysis and determination for phytochemicals contents have been carried out.

Results showed a promising efficiency by sprouting, where an appreciable increasing in some analysis as protein, carbohydrates, some minerals and amino acids comparing to seed.

Besides, germination had a positive effect to present some phyto-compounds as some flavonoids, terpenoids and phenolic compounds.

Then, this study and similar ones are an important step towards the future development of value-added foods with elicited phytochemicals and can be used in the development of innovative food products with beneficial effects on human's health.
