Halophytes are able to withstand harsh environmental stresses like high salinity and UV radiation in part because of their carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and polyphenolic compounds, which have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antidiabetic effects. Furthermore, halophytes can be used as substitute plants because they can be grown as fuel crops on saline soils using salty water for irrigation. This is important and timely to harness the bioactive and bioenergy potential of halophytes given the real-world scenario of salinization of soils and water. By producing biodiesel and biomethanol from halophytes, it may be possible to produce bioenergy in a way that is both environmentally sustainable and commercially viable in the medium term. This will increase the value of saline areas, which have long been thought to be unproductive.

摘要

Halophytes are able to withstand harsh environmental stresses like high salinity and UV radiation in part because of their carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and polyphenolic compounds, which have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antidiabetic effects. Furthermore, halophytes can be used as substitute plants because they can be grown as fuel crops on saline soils using salty water for irrigation. This is important and timely to harness the bioactive and bioenergy potential of halophytes given the real-world scenario of salinization of soils and water. By producing biodiesel and biomethanol from halophytes, it may be possible to produce bioenergy in a way that is both environmentally sustainable and commercially viable in the medium term. This will increase the value of saline areas, which have long been thought to be unproductive.
