One third of the artichoke production is used in industrial processes, where up to 70% 85% of the initial raw material is transformed into solid wastes. For an adequate management of these wastes, it is necessary to know their water sorption properties, because physical, chemical and biological changes which occur during their storage depend on water-solid interactions. The objectives of this w...

The globe artichoke belongs to the Asteraceae family and has become more popular among other vegetables due its beneficial health-promoting features that are related bioactive compounds present in leaves. plant materials have inadequate proportions of valuable nature, so researchers emphasizing on how enhance their amounts. In vitro techniques with integrated novel practices can be employed phy...

The objective of this study was to characterize the insoluble and soluble dietary fiber present in Argentine Italian artichoke (Cynara scolymus) by-products by comparing chemical analysis ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Non-edible bracts (AR) (Benevento (BN) Sicily (SC)) cultivars were employed. fibers extracted physical procedures determined chemical, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infra...
