Saffron is renowned for its high pharmaceutical value and steep price. The primary value of saffron lies in its flowers and stigmas. Cultivation of saffron in a plantation format is receiving significant attention globally. However, a key challenge faced in plantation cultivation of saffron is maintaining sufficient levels of the desired substances. A variety of biological and mineral fertilizers are commonly employed to enhance saffron production. Biological fertilizers show significant promise in saffron cultivation compared to chemical mineral fertilizers. However, the cultivation of saffron using zoohumus, an unconventional biological fertilizer, and its impact on the preservation of key substances have not been thoroughly investigated. Hence, this article examines the total protein and amino acid storage characteristics of saffron flower stigmas cultivated in conventional biohumus and non-traditional zoohumus. The results indicate that saffron flower stigmas grown in zoohumus exhibit higher levels of total protein and amino acid content compared to those grown in traditional biohumus.
