## 3 Results and Discussion
By analysing the results obtained, it is possible to identify the influence of the pulsed magnetic fields on the ionic composition of the radish sprouts (Table 3). The highest statistically significant increases in ion content were recorded for calcium with a magnetic field with a frequency of 100 Hz. A similar trend was observed for potassium, magnesium, and sulphur. On the other hand, the magnetic field with a frequency of 200 Hz was more favourable and resulted in an increase in the content of such ions as iron and was less beneficial in relation to sodium from the nutritional point of view. Radish sprouts contain particularly large amounts of these minerals, the amounts of which increased after the application of a magnetic field with a frequency of 100 Hz. These amounts are also confirmed by research [47] and valuable bioactive ingredients as in the following studies [48; 49; 50]. \begin{table}

Table 2: Changes in the content of basic micro and macro components and heavy metals under the influence of applied pulsed magnetic fields for cress sprouts. By analysing the results obtained, it is possible to identify the influence of the pulsed magnetic fields on the ionic composition of the sunflower sprouts (Table 4). The highest statistically significant increases in the ion content were recorded for calcium with a magnetic field with a frequency of 200 Hz. A similar trend was observed for magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and sulphur. On the other hand, the magnetic field with a frequency of 100 Hz was more favourable and effective in increasing the content of such ions as sodium and iron.
