Abstract:
Globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus L.) is widely cultivated in the Mediterranean area and Italy is one of the largest producers. A great issue is represented by its high amount of by-product, mainly consisting of external bracts and stems, but also of residual leaves, stalks, roots, and seeds. Artichoke by-products are rich in nutrients (carbohydrates and proteins) and bioactive compounds (polyphenols and terpenes) and represent potential ingredients for foodstuffs, functional foods, and food supplements, due to their functional and biological properties. In fact, artichoke by-products\' components exhibit many beneficial effects, such as dyspeptic, prebiotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiglycative, antimicrobial, anticarcinogenic, and hypolipidemic properties. Therefore, they can be considered potential food ingredients useful in reducing the risk of developing metabolic and age-related disorders. This work summarizes the economic and environmental impact of the recovery and valorization of artichoke by-products, focusing on rheological, physical, and biological properties of the different components present in each by-product and their different food applications.
摘要:
朝鲜蓟(Cynaracardunculusvar。scolymusL.)在地中海地区广泛种植,意大利是最大的生产国之一。一个很大的问题是它的大量副产品,主要由外部苞片和茎组成,还有残留的叶子,茎,根,和种子。朝鲜蓟副产品富含营养物质(碳水化合物和蛋白质)和生物活性化合物(多酚和萜烯),是食品的潜在成分,功能性食品,和食物补充剂,由于其功能和生物学特性。事实上,朝鲜蓟副产品成分表现出许多有益效果,比如消化不良,益生元,抗氧化剂,抗炎,抗糖基化,抗菌,抗癌,和降血脂特性。因此,它们可以被认为是潜在的食品成分,有助于降低发生代谢和年龄相关疾病的风险。这项工作总结了朝鲜蓟副产品的回收和增值对经济和环境的影响,专注于流变学,物理,以及每种副产品中存在的不同成分的生物学特性及其不同的食品应用。
