Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a static magnetic field with a magnetic induction of 60-110 mT on the bioactive compounds and antioxidant properties of Cucumis sativus L. var market more. Alcoholic and aqueous extracts were used to determine the chemical-physical properties, concentration of phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity in vitro. Seeds treated with a static magnetic field showed an increase in mineral concentrations compared to untreated seeds. The same behavior was obtained in the physicochemical properties between the aqueous and ethanolic extracts. For phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity by DPPH radical scavenging, the aqueous extracts
of seeds treated with a static magnetic field presented higher values with respect to the control ethanolic extract. These results highlight the importance of using the static magnetic field in the quality and nutritional value of the seeds of this species
