“…is another industrial crop, increasingly used as an energy crop (Ciancolini et al, 2013;D'Antuono et al, 2018), which produces high amounts of biomass and seeds intended for energy production and biofuel (Curt et al, 2002;Petropoulos et al, 2018a;Razza et al, 2016). The use of artichoke waste for the recovery of phenolic compounds and bioenergy production has been suggested by Zuorro et al (2016), while Petropoulos et al (2017Petropoulos et al ( , 2018a have reported the bioactive compounds profile of cardoon plant parts for potential use in the pharmaceutical industry. While the byproducts of both cotton and cardoon processing are considered bulky biowaste (De Corato et al, 2018), the increasing demand of nonsynthetic, renewable, and locally available growing media for soilless-grown horticultural crops may open new perspectives for the use of these materials as substitute of peat-based growing media (Di Gioia et al, 2017).…”

“…In this perspective, zeolite a very common aluminosilicate mineral has been proposed as a conditioner to ameliorate the properties of soilless media and enhance soilless crops nutrient use efficiency (Gül et al, 2005). Recently, zeolite has found several uses in agricultural production, including its use in slow release fertilizers and as pesticide carrier, for soil amelioration through heavy metals binding, as a water retention agent and so forth (Eroglu et al, 2017;Nakhli et al, 2017;Zuorro et al, 2016). For that reason, its use in substrate blends is very promising in the adoption of sustainable agriculture practices for horticultural crops in general, and especially in potted plants where growth substrates are most commonly used (Bonaguro et al, 2017;Chen et al, 2018).…”

The intensification of horticultural crops cultivation makes urgent the seeking for alternative growth substrates that could substitute non-renewable and/or synthetic growing media, such as peat and rock wool. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential use of byproducts from two industrial crops commonly cultivated in the Mediterranean basin, namely cardoon and cotton, as growth substrates for Cichorium spinosum, while zeolite addition was also tested as a soil amendment. A pot experiment was carried for two consecutive growing periods and plant growth was evaluated for six growing media compositions, while plant extracts were also evaluated in terms of their phenolic compounds profile, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The results of this study showed that cotton byproducts and zeolite may partially substitute peat in growth substrate of C. spinosum and high yields comparable to peat may be achieved. Phenolic compounds content and antioxidant activity of leaves' extracts was higher for plants grown in soil which showed severe stress symptoms comparing to the other tested substrate blends. Antimicrobial activity was also affected by growth substrate composition, only in the case of antibacterial properties of leaves' extracts, whereas none of the extracts presented significant antifungal activities. In conclusion, the use of cotton ginning byproducts and zeolite in growth substrate blends may partially substitute conventional substrates as peat in horticultural crops production, resulting in reduction of production cost and lessening of bulky byproducts' management and related environmental burden without compromising yield.

“…Table 5 shows the results of the estimate of Equation 1 obtained through the maximum likelihood estimator. In particular, following other empirical studies (Petrucci et al, 2014;Migliore et al, 2014;Zuorro et al, 2015), the estimated model coefficients, together with their standard errors and p-values, are reported. Only a small share of individuals is therefore less inclined to consume Sicilian wine.…”

The growing importance of Sicilian wines in the Italian market provides the context in which this paper is set. This study presents the results of a recent survey on Sicilian wine consumption in Italy. By means of a binary response model, this paper evaluates the main determinants (demographic profile, preference and attitudes) that influence Italian consumers' preferences for Sicilian wines. The estimates, based on the stated preference of 953 Italian wine consumers, emphasize that income and habits to purchase at wine shops and the habit to drink between meals significantly influence the willingness to consume Sicilian wines. Furthermore the sample propensity to consume the Sicilian wine increases for white wines and when the consumption takes placed in public spaces.

Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC‐CO2) extraction is carried out to simultaneously increase yield of extracted oil and the content of pentacyclic triterpenes from residual parts of globe artichoke. Box‐Behnken design is used to design a set of comprehensive experiments. Single and interactive effects of four processing variables (pressure, temperature, time, and particle size) are investigated by response surface methodology (RSM), which is also used to establish regression model according to the synthesis score of extracted oil and pentacyclic triterpenes (PTs). On the other hand, the combination of SC‐CO2 factors is optimized by ridge analysis. As a result, the optimal combination is obtained at 22.27 MPa, 41.33 °C, particle size of 53.66 mesh within 2 h. Furthermore, the oil components extracted from SC‐CO2 and Soxhlet extraction (SE) are analyzed using GC‐MS. In contrast with SE, SC‐CO2 is more effective to increase the content of PTs in extracted oil of globe artichoke. Practical Applications: Industrial processing of globe artichoke can cause 80–85% waste of total plant biomass, which mainly consists of the inedible parts. However, the by‐products of globe artichoke contain many kinds of nutritional compounds, such as sesterpenes and triterpenes. The application of SC‐CO2 can extract these compounds safely and effectively. With optimization of SC‐CO2, sustainability of processing of globe artichoke can be maintained economically. A processing method of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC‐CO2) extraction is optimized to increase the yield of extracted oil and the content of pentacyclic triterpenes (PTs) simultaneously from globe artichoke. Afterward, the pentacyclic triterpenes in the extracted oil are analyzed by GC‐MS and six types of PTs in globe artichoke are identified. Additionally, the influence of SC‐CO2 extraction is analyzed using the principal component analysis method. Meanwhile, the interactions of two processing factors on the yield of extracted oil are analyzed.
