Fastest way to find even more “nutrient verification” papers yourself (without getting buried in fluff)
-
Use PubMed and search phrases like:
microgreens (HPLC OR LC-MS OR ICP-MS) 2025
microgreens vitamin C carotenoids tocopherol 2025
microgreens mineral composition ICP-MS 2025 -
Use Google Scholar and filter by “Since 2025”, then add method keywords (HPLC, LC-MS/MS, ICP-MS, UHPLC).
The pattern you’ll notice, the strongest “nutrition verification” papers almost always advertise their measurement tech right in the abstract, because that’s the whole flex.
