Biopriming is a seed-level biotechnological intervention with considerable potential to enhance the nutritional, phytochemical, and functional attributes of cereal grains. In this study, microbial biopriming was investigated as a targeted approach to modulate the phytochemical composition, antioxidant capacity, and neuroprotective efficacy of barley-derived extracts. Germinated barley extract (GBE) was comparatively evaluated against two bioprimed derivatives produced by inoculating barley seeds…
