“…Brassica was grown in a two-year rotation with cereal grains (durum wheat, oats and barley) in the years 2010(I) and 2011-2012. Cardoon was grown for two years and seeds were collected in the second one (2011)(2012).…”

“…Both of them have good potential in seeds production (up to 1.5-1.8 t ha -1 per year) with 25-33% oil content (Curt et al, 2002;Encinar et al, 2002;Ballesteros et al, 2007;Grammelis et al, 2008;De Mastro et al, 2011). New studies on cardoon, carried on in different Mediterranean agro-environments (including southern Italy), evaluated the potential of this energy crop and highlighted good performances for several genotypes (Lanteri et al, 2004;Raccuia and Melilli, 2010;Raccuia et al, 2011).…”

The development of energy crops can provide environmental benefits and may represent an opportunity to improve agriculture in areas considered at low productivity. In this work, we studied the energy potential of two species (Brassica carinata A. Braun and Cynara cardunculus L.) and their seed oil productivity under different growth conditions. Furthermore, the biodiesel from the oil extracted from the seeds of these species was produced and analysed in term of utilisation as fuels in compression ignition engines. In particular, the spray penetration and shape ratio were measured in a constant-volume chamber and compared with the results obtained with a standard diesel fuel. These results were obtained using a standard common rail injection system at different injection pressure, injection duration, and constant-volume chamber pressure.

“…Furthermore, from the roots it is possible to extract inuline Melilli, 2004, 2010) that is very interesting for functional foods for diabetics (it reduces the absorption of glucose) or celiacs (it can substitute gluten thanks to its rheological properties (Sillitti et al, 2016) Agronomic experiments aimed to analyse the behaviour of the new genotypes of this species or of different plant density (Raccuia et al, 2011) in different Mediterranean cropping systems are scarce and very recent.…”

Yields and quality of biomasses and grain in Cynara cardunculus L. grown in southern Italy, as affected by genotype and environmental conditions

Cardoon is a crop well adapted to Mediterranean climatic conditions that is able to grow also in marginal lands thus reducing competition for land with food crops. It is considered a key crop for bio-refinery since it allows producing different interesting molecules for industrial application. From stems it is possible to obtain large amounts of cellulose, grains are a good source of oil and proteins and roots can be a source of inulin. The aim of this research has been to evaluate the productive levels of different genotypes of cardoon in two different climatic conditions of Mediterranean cropland (a site in the Vesuvius plain and a site in the internal hilly cropland). In both the sites, during 3 years (from 2012-2013 to 2014-2015), three genotypes (Altilis, Gigante e Trinaseed) were cultivated with 2 planting densities (4 and 8 plants per m 2 ). A low input cropping system was adopted (no irrigation and 150 kg ha -1 of N supplied as ammonium nitrate). In flat site (NA-Ac.), lignocellulosic biomass yield was 19 t ha -1 d.m. and grain yield 2.7 t ha -1 on the average of the 3 years period. In the hilly site, biomass yield was similar (20 t ha -1 d.m.) while grain yield was higher (3.9 t ha -1 on the average) as compared to the flat site. As regards biomass composition, an increase of hemicellulose and a decrease of cellulose content were measured in the flat site, maybe as a response of plant to the higher drought stress.

“…The content of oil extracted varies between 18.5% and 25.3%. The range of oleic acid content is highly variable: from 23.1% to 83.6% [22]. Other fatty acids that constitute the cardoon oil are linoleic and stearic acids, ranging from 40.0% to 61.5% and 18.0% to 45.0%, respectively [22].…”

Abstract:The purpose of this work was to study the thermal characterization of oils extracted from native seeds and fruits of the Argentina, Uruguayan region. This is important because it's necessary to find new applications for food industry. Uruguayan wild cardoon seed, Argentinian wild papaya seeds, Argentinian avocado pulp, Argentinian cherimoya seeds, Argentinian grapeseeds and four commercial brands of chia oils were studied. The thermal behaviors of the oils were analyzed on a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), TA Instrument, Q20 model equipped with an intercooler. These oils' thermal profiles presented differences, which are related to the compositions of fatty acids and triacylglycerols. The thermogram for the chia oil, with a high content of linolenic acid, presented a very important peak at about -40 °C; whereas, the papaya oil with an oleic acid content of 74%, showed a peak at about -3 °C. When comparing the thermal behaviors of these oils to commercial brand oils, it was found that the chia oil is similar to the flaxseed oil, the papaya similar to the olive oil and the avocado similar to the rice bran oil. The avocado oil, in particular, presents high solid content at cold store or winter temperatures, which would make its use in those conditions difficult (for example, a cosmetic cream or gourmet oil). In conclusion, the thermal behavior of one oil sample as determined by DSC provides valuable information with regards to the possible use of new oils of American origin as replacement of usual commercial others.
