“…More recent applications are: the use of biomass for energy purposes as a solid biofuel or for the production of pulp or biodiesel [7]. This plant is used in several dishes, as soups and salads [8], their seeds could be used to extract food quality oil [9], and their flowers are widely employed in the making of cheeses [10,11]. The wild and cultivated forms of C. cardunculus are a source of biopharmaceuticals products [12,13].…”

“…The wild cardoons, which are distributed over the west and central part of the Mediterranean Basin (Portugal to west Turkey), as well as the Canary Islands, usually have no food uses but, if properly prepared, are edible (as is the globe artichoke). Both wild and cultivated cardoon are suitable for the production of lignocellulosic biomass for energy or paper pulp , , their seeds could also be used to extract food quality oil , and their flowers are widely employed in the making of cheeses − . The globe artichoke is an important herbaceous species widely distributed in the Mediterranean Basin , where its commercial production makes a significant contribution to the agricultural economy.…”

The species Cynara cardunculus is consumed as part of the Mediterranean diet and consists of the globe artichoke [var. scolymus (L.) Fiori], the cultivated cardoon (var. altilis DC.), and the wild cardoon [var. sylvestris (Lamk) Fiori]. The objective of this study was to investigate, in immature inflorescences, the main flavonoids and phenolic acids (caffeoylquinic acids, apigenin, and luteolin derivatives) by HPLC/diode array detection/mass spectrometry. Apigenin derivatives represented the major class in all samples investigated, highest in cardoon forms. Caffeoylquinic acids and luteolin derivatives were observed in var. scolymus only. Data allowed discrimination of globe artichoke from the related species on the basis of the profile of compounds analyzed. Our results suggest the possible use of cultivated and wild cardoon as a source of phenolic acids and flavonoids and indicate that artichoke consumption is an excellent dietary source of apigenin and other flavones.

“…However, recently, some studies have continued to analyse the potential of this type of AWB for obtaining additives for cement, among other types of high-added value bio-based products ( Andreola et al, 2020 ; Tchakouté et al, 2020 ). In addition, artichoke crop residues have been used as a secondary raw material for cheese production ( Barbagallo et al, 2007 ).…”

Sustainable and circular agro-environmental practices: A review of the management of agricultural waste biomass in Spain and the Czech Republic

et al. 2022

Sustainable and circular production models, such as the circular economy and circular bioeconomy, have become key mechanisms to leave behind the traditional linear model of food production. Under this approach and considering the waste biomass potential available in Spain and the Czech Republic, the main objective of this study is to analyse the most relevant aspects of the generation, use and regulation of agricultural waste biomass (AWB) in both countries. For this purpose, a scientometric analysis and systematic review of published research in the Scopus database were carried out. A complementary analysis of AWB management policies and regulations was also part of the methodology. The results show that Spain has published almost twice as much research as the Czech Republic. Furthermore, 91% of the retrieved research prioritizes the characterization and estimation of the potential of more than 15 AWB types. Among the main ones are olive residues, horticultural residues and wheat straw, which are used for producing organic amendments, bioenergy and biofuels. The results confirm that the reduction and valorization of AWB is an issue that has become more important in the last 13 years, mainly due to the policies and strategies for circular economy and circular bioeconomy. With this in mind, this study provides relevant information for governments on the aspects that need to be improved to advance in the valorization of AWB. This study also provides guidance to farmers on the reduction and/or recovery alternatives that they can implement to move towards sustainable and circular agriculture.
