“…A. officinalis tips contained a significantly higher gallic acid and rutin content than the spear ( p < 0.05). The results were in accordance with previous studies reporting that the A. officinalis tip was a rich source of gallic acid and rutin 18 , 19 . In addition, the present study revealed that both drying temperature and drying duration significantly affected the gallic acid and rutin content in both A. officinalis tip and spear.…”

This study aimed to investigate the nutricosmetic effect of Asparagus officinalis extracts. The tip and spear of A. officinalis were successively extracted with 95% ethanol. The rutin, phenolic, and flavonoid contents of A. officinalis extracts were investigated. The antioxidant activities were determined by 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) and a ferric reducing antioxidant power assay. Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), elastase, and hyaluronidase inhibition were determined by in vitro enzyme reaction assay. The cytotoxicity was analyzed on peripheral blood mononuclear cellss. Findings revealed that drying temperature and drying duration had significant effects on the chemical composition and biological activity of A. officinalis extract. A. officinalis tips dried at 50 °C for 24 h contained the (significantly) highest flavonoid and rutin content. The most potent extract was from A. officinalis spears since it possessed the (significantly) highest MMP-1, elastase, and hyaluronidase inhibition rates of 83.4 ± 1.5%, 70.4 ± 4.1%, and 75.2 ± 1.0%, respectively. Interestingly, at the same concentration, the A. officinalis spear extract was more potent in MMP-1 inhibition than oleanolic acid and epigallocatechin gallate, the well-known natural MMP-1 inhibitors. The results show that A. officinalis extract is an attractive source of natural anti-skin-wrinkle ingredients.

“…Free phenolic compounds and FFC of BTH2 shoots were higher than those found in methanolic extracts of wild plants of Sarcocornia perennis from Tunisia [37] and Salicornia europaea collected in Tukey [38], which range between 4.32-9.89 mg GAE g −1 dw and 3.3-5.1 mg catechin equivalent (ce) g −1 dw, respectively. The content of phenolic compounds in BTH2 shoots was also equal or greater than that of organic asparagus (FPC = 19.4 mg GAE g −1 dw; FFC = 5.28 mg ce g −1 dw) [39], artichoke (FPC = 0.84 mg GAE g −1 dw; FFC = 0.65 mg ce g −1 dw), spinach (FPC = 0.6 mg GAE g −1 dw; FFC = 0.03 mg ce g −1 dw) [40], broccoli and cauliflower (FPC ranged from 8.24 to 17.2 mg GAE g −1 dw) [41]. Quercetin content of BTH2 shoots was higher than that observed in artichoke and spinach (1.7-1.9 µg g −1 dw).…”

Small succulent halophytic shrubs of the genera Salicornia and Sarcocornia (Salicornioideae, Amaranthaceae) are commonly named sea asparagus and consumed worldwide as green salad in gourmet food, as conserves, and beverages. Their shoots are rich in bioactive compounds and plants show high yields in a wide range of salinities, but little is known about how salt cultivation conditions affect their chemical composition. Two genotypes (BTH1 and BTH2) of the Brazilian sea asparagus Salicornia neei Lag. were evaluated for salt tolerance and changes in shoot concentrations of organic metabolites and antioxidant activity under different salt exposure in both greenhouse and field conditions. All greenhouse plants received full strength modified Hoagland solution in deionized water with a basic electrical conductivity (EC) of 1.7 dS m−1, and with NaCl concentrations (in mM) of ~0.1 (control), 34, 86, 171, 513, and 769. After fifty days of cultivation, both S. neei genotypes showed high salt tolerance and grew better under low salinities (34–86 mM NaCl) than under control salinity. Shoots of BTH1 genotype appeared to be undergoing lignification and used their high carotenoid content to dissipate the oxidative power, and the zeaxanthin content and de-epoxidation state of xanthophylls (DES) were positively affected by salinity. Under increasing salinity, BTH2 genotype had higher relative content of chlorophyll b, which may have lowered the plant photo-oxidation rate, and increased shoot concentration of the flavonoid quercetin (up to 11.6 μg g−1 dw at 769 mM NaCl), leading to higher antioxidant capacity. In the field experiment, after 154 days of irrigation with saline (213 mM NaCl) shrimp farm effluent, BTH2 plants grew taller, produced more metabolites (e.g., total phenolics, total free flavonoids, quercetin, and protocatechuic acid) and had a greater antioxidant capacity of shoots than that of BTH1 plants and that of traditional crops irrigated with fresh water. Yield and bioactive compound composition of S. neei genotypes’ shoots can be enhanced by cultivation under moderate saline conditions.

“…Asparagus spears are among the plant products with the highest antioxidant capacity, which is mainly due to their flavonoid content [4,6]. They constitute one of the most abundant groups of antioxidant compounds within the plant kingdom and are usually found as glycosylated derivatives.…”

“…Asparagus spears are very appreciated by consumers due to their low calories and high fiber contents, characteristic flavour and the presence of several phytochemicals (vitamins, fructans, flavonoids, cinnamic acids and saponins) [4][5][6][7][8], responsible for most of healthy properties of asparagus spear consumption. These same phytochemicals can be found both in the aerial and underground parts, but in different amounts than in shoots.…”

Asparagus cultivation, both white and green, has increased in recent decades. In the year 2000, about 1x10 6 ha were dedicated worldwide to its cultivation, while in 2017 the figure increased to 1.6x10 6 ha [1]. The world's leading asparagus producer is China with more than 85% of total production. Both aerial (stems, leaves and fruits) and underground (roots and rhizomes) parts are produced as co-products of asparagus farming. Annually, around 6 Tm/ha of aerial parts are discarded. It used to be
