Catalytic and biocatalytic cascade conversion of giant reed and cardoon residues to glucose, levulinic acid, and long-chain fatty acid methyl esters

Industrial Crops and Products
Giant reed was hydrolysed by the green salt FeCl3 under microwave irradiation. Differently, cardoon residues were pretreated by steam explosion and hydrolysed by the same catalyst.

Exploitation of cardoon roots inulin for polyhydroxyalkanoate production

Industrial Crops and Products
Cynara cardunculus, cardoon, is a biorefinery crop with an overwhelming role in the bioplastic scenario. This work explored the use of inulin extracted from cardoon roots as a feedstock for polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production. Cardoon roots from both spring and winter seasons were subjected to two protocols consisting of an autoclave extraction ...

Heterologous Production of Cyprosin B in Nicotiana benthamiana: Unveiling the Role of the Plant-Specific Insert Domain in Protein Function and Subcellular Localisation. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Plant systems have gained increased attention as an alternative platform for producing heterologous proteins, particularly for industrially relevant proteins. The Cynara cardunculus L. flower extract is traditionally used in cheese production across Mediterranean countries due to its milk‐clotting properties.
