Biosynthesis of Ag nanoparticles using Cynara cardunculus leaf extract: Evaluation of their antibacterial and electrochemical activity

Results in Physics, 2018
The present study reports the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNP’s) using Cynara cardunculus leaf extract in aqueous media. The silver ions reduction was carried out by the antioxidant component presents in the Cynara cardunculus. Transmission

Cynara cardunculus: Use in Cheesemaking and Pharmaceutical Applications [PDF]

, 2018
Cynara cardunculus L. is the most widespread species of Cynara genus (f. Asteraceae). This herbaceous perennial plant is native to the Mediterranean region and invasive in other parts of the world, growing naturally in harsh habitat conditions. There are three subspecies: globe artichoke; cultivated cardoon and the progenitor of the two, the wild ...

Antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of Cynara cardunculus extracts [PDF]

Food Chemistry, 2008
Abstract The whole, fresh involucral bracts of cardoon, Cynara cardunculus L. (Compositae), were extracted with EtOH and an aqueous suspension of the obtained EtOH extract was partitioned successively with CHCl 3 , EtOAc and n -BuOH, leaving a residual water extract.

Stability studies of cynaropicrin-major sesquiterpene lactone of Cynara cardunculus leaves. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
This study investigated its stability under high temperature and pH, mimicking agronomic extremes and under soil context. Bioassays demonstrated that degradation products exhibited higher phytotoxic activity than cynaropicrin and deacylcynaropicrin. This is the first study about cynaropicrin's stability, characterizing degradation products, and their ...

Micropropagation of Globe Artichoke (Cynara cardunculus L. var. scolymus)

, 2012
The globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus L. var. scolymus) is a perennial plant cultivated in the Mediterranean region and the Americas for its edible young flower heads. Although vegetative propagation by offshoots or by "ovoli" (underground dormant axillary buds) has been the primary method of propagation, the potential for the diffusion of diseases ...

Behavior of Aspartic Proteases From Artichoke Flower (Cynara cardunculus L. var Scolymus) in the Hydrolysis of Buffalo Milk Casein. [PDF]

J Food Sci
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to assess the activity of proteases from artichoke flower extract in the enzymatic hydrolysis of casein from buffalo milk and to investigate its potential application in cheese production. Artichoke flower extract and microbial chymosin were assessed for their proteolytic activity (PA) and milk clotting activity

Antiproliferative Effects of Cynara Cardunculus in Colorectal Cancer Cells Are Modulated by the Circadian Clock. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2022
The circadian clock generates 24 h rhythms in behavioural, cellular and molecular processes. Malfunctions of the clock are associated with enhanced susceptibility to cancer, worse treatment response and poor prognosis. Clock-controlled genes are involved
