Sažetak
Background: In modern agricultural production of plant crops, a large amount of organic compounds (pesticides, herbicides, insecticides) are used, which have a negative impact on the environment (pollution, temperature rise, climate change) but also on human health. 20, 000 people die each year from pesticide poisoning. Objective: To examine the preparation of new biopolymer microparticles for agroecological cultivation of plant crops and production of functional food Methods: Biopolymer microparticles were prepared by the ionic gelling process, and were characterized and applied to various plant cultures in conventional, hydroponic and foliar cultivation. Results: Biopolymer microparticles filled with bioactive components were applied to lettuce and tomatoes in conventional and hydroponic cultivation for two years. The results showed a very good impact of supplementation on the final product quality. Conclusion: New biopolymer microparticles with a 3 in 1 effect (nutrition, protection and time release) have been successfully prepared. The amount of chlorophyll in lettuce was increased by 96% and lycopene in tomatoes by 200%. This is how functional food was prepared
