Potential prebiotic effect of globe artichoke by-product (Cynara cardunculus L.) was evaluated in vitro. Representative lactic acid bacteria from human colon, like Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, were incubated up to 96 h with versus sucrose control. Low molecular weight carbohydrates (6.14% dw) raw extracted ethanol. Fermentability by monitoring growth, pH, short chain f...

This work investigated the effects of potassium mineral fertilizers, combined with biofertilizers (T1–T4 treatments) and foliar spraying seaweed extract (at 1 g/L, 2 3 g/L) on vegetative growth characters, chemical constituents foliage, yield quality parameters globe artichoke. The maximum height, fresh dry weight leaves, was recorded in plants that received only soil added (T1 treatment) spray...

The artichoke by-products from the canning industry are mainly used for silage, being minimally revaluated. The ways of extraction of by-products of artichoke into fiber-rich powders modify their industrial applications in biscuits, as the sensory evaluation may change compared with the reference fiber (Pea fiber, P) used with commercial biscuit. In this sensory study biscuits enriched with fib...

Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) is one of the world's oldest medicinal plants with multiple health benefits. We have previously shown that artichoke leaf extracts and artichoke flavonoids upregulate the gene expression of endothelial-type nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in human endothelial cells. Whereas NO produced by the eNOS is a vasoprotective molecule, NO derived from the inducible iNOS plays...

This study evaluated the effect of phosphorus and potassium (PK) fertilizer levels foliar seaweed extract on early total yield productivity growth globe artichoke plants. Field experiments were conducted over two seasons loamy–clay soil at vegetable research farm, Faculty Agriculture, Alexandria University, Egypt. Fertilizer 0, 25, 50 75 mL L−1, concentrations 5 10 mg individually in combinatio...
