BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF WILD AND CULTIVATED CARDOON ACCESSIONS

Acta Horticulturae, 2005
Two accessions of cultivated cardoon ('Nizza' and 'Madrid 1') and three wild cardoon ('Siena', Belgio' and 'Madrid 2') were field grown in Policoro (Matera, Southern Italy). For the biochemical analyses, leaves and buds were picked on March and May, respectively.

Chemical characterization of Sicilian commercial cardoon honeys

Acta Horticulturae, 2020
Honey is known as source of natural antioxidants with application in human health. The antioxidant capacity is strongly related to the chemical composition that varies with the botanical origin, seasonal and environmental factors. Among the typical vegetables of the Mediterranean basin, the cardoon is an endemic plant with a great content of ...

Characterization of cardoon accessions as feedstock for biodiesel production

Fuel, 2019
Abstract Diesel fuels have an essential function in industrial economies. In the last decade, several studies were conducted in order to find alternative sources of vegetables oils suitable to biodiesel conversion. The present work aimed to characterize the oil chemical composition in eleven different accessions of domestic and wild cardoon (Cynara ...

Leaf extracts of cultivated cardoon as potential bioherbicide

Scientia Horticulturae, 2020
Abstract Increasing concerns about negative herbicides effects on the environment and the growing interest in organic agriculture demand for alternative weed control methods. This work aims to evaluate the phytotoxicity of different cultivated cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L. var. altilis DC.) leaf extracts on seed germination of four weeds (Amaranthus

Cardosin A and B, Aspartic Proteases from the Flowers of Cardoon

1995
Plant aspartic proteinases have been detected and purified from several plant monocotyledoneous, dicotyledoneous and gymnosperms. The physiological role of these aspartic proteinases is not as yet well elucidated, although the involvement in the hydrolysis of exogenous and storage proteins have been reported (for review see reference 1)

Lignocellulosic materials characterization of wild and cultivated cardoon

Acta Horticulturae, 2016
Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L.) is a perennial crop. The first productive cycle begins with seed germination, usually at the beginning of autumn. After the cotyledons emergence, leaves start to develop forming a rosette. At the end of spring appears the floral scape, which ends in several heads. After flowering and pollination, the fruits (achenes) are
