Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Horticulture

Eduardo A.S. Rosa mainly investigates Glucosinolate, Botany, Food science, Cultivar and Agronomy. His research in Glucosinolate intersects with topics in Brassica oleracea, Biochemistry, Isothiocyanate and Eruca. His studies deal with areas such as Palmitic acid, Moringa pterygosperma, Linolenic acid and Isorhamnetin as well as Botany.

His work in the fields of Food science, such as Food processing, intersects with other areas such as Animal health, Health benefits and Ascorbic acid. His research in Cultivar intersects with topics in Legume, Dwarfing, Ripening, Prunus and Postharvest. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Rootstock and Chlorophyll.

His most cited work include:

  • Glucosinolates in crop plants (280 citations)
  • Natural Bioactive Compounds from Winery By-Products as Health Promoters: A Review (235 citations)
  • Understanding antimicrobial activities of phytochemicals against multidrug resistant bacteria and biofilms (226 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Food science, Botany, Horticulture, Cultivar and Agronomy are his primary areas of study. His research investigates the connection between Food science and topics such as Polyphenol that intersect with issues in Kaempferol. Eduardo A.S. Rosa interconnects Amino acid and Proanthocyanidin in the investigation of issues within Botany.

His Cultivar study combines topics in areas such as Gallic acid, Starch and Postharvest. Eduardo A.S. Rosa usually deals with Glucosinolate and limits it to topics linked to Broccoli sprouts and Glucoraphanin. His Crop research includes themes of Vigna and Yield.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Food science (32.12%)
  • Botany (32.12%)
  • Horticulture (26.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Agronomy (21.17%)
  • Food science (32.12%)
  • Horticulture (26.28%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Food science, Horticulture, Antioxidant and Cultivar. The various areas that Eduardo A.S. Rosa examines in his Food science study include Phytochemical composition, Antimicrobial, HeLa, Partial least squares regression and Phaseolus. His research integrates issues of Antioxidant capacity, DPPH and Polyphenol in his study of Horticulture.

His work deals with themes such as Oxidative stress, Decoction and Prostate, which intersect with Antioxidant. The Cultivar study combines topics in areas such as Cell and Weed control. Legume is a primary field of his research addressed under Botany.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Faba Bean Cultivation - Revealing Novel Managing Practices for More Sustainable and Competitive European Cropping Systems. (29 citations)
  • Potential effects of sulforaphane to fight obesity. (16 citations)
  • Effects of Agronomic Management and Climate on Leaf Phenolic Profiles, Disease Severity, and Grain Yield in Organic and Conventional Wheat Production Systems. (15 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Horticulture

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Food science, Antimicrobial, Phytic acid and Legume. His work on Weed control, Cultivar, Crop and Vigna as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Biochemical markers, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Food science research includes elements of By-product, DPPH, ABTS, Catechin and Human fertilization.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Melissa officinalis, Quercetin, TBARS and Mentha spicata in addition to Antimicrobial. His Phytic acid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Amino acid, Bioavailability, Partial least squares regression, Phaseolus and Proximate. His Legume research integrates issues from Fodder, Preharvest and Snow pea.
