Chicory (Cichoriumintybus L.) is an important industrial crop which is used for inulin production. Inulin is widely applied as food ingredient due to its health promoting properties. For the first time, attempts were made to investigate thirteen endemic chicory genotypes including three pumilum populations, along with five root chicory cultivars, four witloof chicory varieties and a crispum end...

chicory is a herbaceous plant which grows in many regions of iran such as tehran and chaloos road. the roots of chicory are succulent and its main root is 75 cm long. chicory is a herbaceous plant; its root, due to its inulin, is good for remedying diabetes. micorrhizs are effective on absorbing the elements of soil particularly phosphorus as well as increasing the growth of the plant, and they...

in 1985 and has been frequently used in the USA where good summer productivity has been reported (Jung et The bimodal distribution of growth of cool-season grass species al., 1996; Volesky, 1996). Chemical analyses indicate generates an imbalance in the amount of forage available during the summer, which could be improved by using alternative forage species. that Puna chicory is a high quality ...

Background: Ready-To-Eat (RTE) foods include any edible food that is commonly consumed raw. This study aimed at evaluation of microbial ecology of retail RTE escarole and red chicory sold in Palermo city, Italy. Methods: A total of 32 mono-varietal RTE samples, including escarole (n=16) and red chicory (n=16) samples were obtained from Palermo, Italy. Both RTE vegetables at expiry date were an...

Chicory (Chicorum intybus) is becoming popular as a warm-season forage for ruminant livestock in the United States. A study was conducted with weaned crossbred meat goats to elucidate how growing / finishing meat goats grazing Joy chicory pasture respond to supplementation with varying levels of dietary protein. Thirty 6 weaned crossbred kids (26 ± 3 kg) were blocked by body weight and genotype...

Renewable resources constitute a ‘limited infinity’, meaning that a limited amount is being produced, but for an infinite time.1 One of the most promising approaches to reduce the resource intensity is to use the existing biomass more efficiently: the biorefinery concept. It aims to use the complete biomass and all by-products emitted by the processes. Particularly the by-products of establishe...

BACKGROUND: Manipulation of rumen microbial population for improving animal performance is done by several methods including medicinal plants. Matricaria chamomille (chamomile) and Cichorium intybus (chicory) are two medicinal plant with antibacterial effect that there is little information about the effects of them on rumen microflora. OBJECTIVE: The present study was carried out to evaluate t...
