| Abstract:
The physical-chemical characteristics of a group of seed-propagated globe artichoke, were compared with those of Blanca de Tudela, a vegetatively propagated cultivar and the most widely grown in Spain. The texture, moisture, color, glucidic content, browning capacity and mineral content of the heads were analyzed. The results showed significant differences between the cultivars and provided information of potential use for industrial applications or for fresh consumption. | |
