- Abstract
The artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) is a biennial or perennial herbaceous plant, very sensitive at low temperatures during the Romanian winters, which is cultivated for her leaves with medicinal properties (Cynarae folium). The active constituents from leaves are: 0,2-0,3% cynarin (1,4-dicaffeilchinic acid); chlorogenic acid (3-caffeilchinic acid); caffeic acid; neoclorogenic acid; 1% polyphenol; 0,2% flavonoids (cynarozid-lutheoline-7 glycoside, scolimozyd-luteoline-7 rutinozyd, cynarotriozid-luteoline-7 rutynozid-4 glycoside); lactones sescviterpenice (cyneropitrine, dehidrocinaropitrine, groseimine); tarasterol (triterpenic alcohol) etc. Cynarin and polyphenols are used for their bile secretor and choleric properties. This study evaluates the yielding capacity of Unirea artichoke variety cultivated at Cluj- Napoca during experimental year 2007.
