Experiments demonstrate growth improves phenolic compound synthesis in R. carthamoides, suggesting effective bioreactor use for antioxidants.

This research aimed to evaluate the effects of cultivation time and immersion frequency on R. carthamoides growth and compound production.
Utilized a PlantForm bioreactor for shoot cultivation of R. carthamoides
Evaluated growth time (3 or 5 weeks) and immersion frequency (1.5 h, 3 h, 6 h)
Measured shoot biomass and accumulation of caffeoylquinic acid derivatives
Observed highest biomass of 9.35 g/L after 5 weeks of growth with 1.5 h immersion
Noted optimal synthesis of caffeoylquinic acids at 4.5 mg/g DW with 3 h immersion
Chlorogenic acid was the predominant phenolic compound synthesized at 2.9 mg/g DW
