Jerusalem artichoke (JA) is widely known to have inulin-rich tubers. However, its fresh aerial biomass produces significant levels of leaf protein and economic bioactive phytochemicals. We characterized concentrate (JAPC) isolated from green three clones, Alba, Fuseau, Kalevala, nutritional value for the human diet or animal feeding. The JAPC yield varied 28.6 31.2 g DM kg−1 with an average total content 33.3% on a dry mass basis. qualitative analysis phytochemical composition was performed...
Abstract The present study evaluates the green biomass of Jerusalem artichoke (JA) as an alternative protein. A leaf protein concentrate (LPC) was prepared from leafy shoots using biotechnological methods. Seven clones were compared to assess importance genetic basis JA, and alfalfa served control. LPC content JA average 39 g kg −1 fresh biomass, while that 32 . can produce up 936 ha year without fertilization under rainfed conditions. crude varied 24.2 31.4 m/m%, depending on harvesting...
A pot experiment, under greenhouse conditions, was carried out aiming at investigating the agronomic biofortification of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) with Se and monitoring uptake accumulation dynamics within four consecutive harvests same growing season. Two ionic forms, i.e., sodium selenate (Se (VI)) selenite (IV)), were applied once a rate 1, 10, 50 mg kg−1 (added on basis), while 10 L−1 red elemental (red Se0) used; all treatments added as soil application. Application (VI) toxic to...
Abstract Background and Aims Wet processed alfalfa-based products can provide high-quality concentrated protein, also contain nutrients phytochemicals. Agronomic fortification increase selenium (Se) incorporation into green biomass. For this reason, the aim was to investigate how different forms of Se are incorporated biomass multiple-harvest alfalfa they affect chemical quality product candidates. Methods In research, enriched with three at concentrations [selenate (Se(VI)); selenite...
The current research was aimed to evaluate the vegetative part of seven ecotypes/varieties Jerusalem artichoke as a potential source for chlorophyll. Alfalfa (Hunor variety) applied control. Open field experiment carried out during spring season 2016 at Horticultural Demonstration Garden University Debrecen, Hungary. Pigments were measured in intact leaves, green juice and fiber fraction different ecotypes/varieties. Results verified that alfalfa had higher contents photosynthetic pigments...
SELENIUM (Se) essentiality to humans has been recently proved while for higher plants it still gains considerable debating. Biofortification is an effective and safe way deliver the required micronutrients / or animals at their adequate concentration. Thus, present study aimed enrichment stevia leaf with Se using selenite selenate as inorganic forms 0, 1, 5, 10 mg kg-1 concentration range. Also, released into drinks (i.e., water, coffee, green tea) sweetened by Se-fortified was assessed....
The investigation within the green biorefinery focused on value-measuring properties of by-products derived from leaf protein concentrate production, particularly Jerusalem artichokes. Results showed fiber fractions ranged 17 to 28 % per 1 kg fresh biomass, while brown juice 57 68 %. Protein content varied 7 14 m/m% for and 0.3–1.4 juice, with Rubik Piri varieties exhibiting minimal differences in crude between harvests. Amino acid analysis revealed significant amounts leucine lysine both...
Plant-based foods offer a sustainable alternative to meet the growing protein demand. Legumes are most promising of these, as they contain relatively high concentrations protein, low digestible starch, and dietary fiber, well them possibly featuring levels fat. Enzymatically modified legume proteins provide us with tempting perspectives in terms enhancing foods’ biological values. However, their bioavailability digestibility generally less sufficient than that animal origin, which may be...
D UE to several bioproducts derived from Jerusalem artichoke (JA), it has ecological and economical benefits in bioenergy production, functional foods human health.These bio-based multi-products include fructose, inulin, antioxidants, natural fungicides bio-ethanol.This study included the assessment of some biochemical components vitro calli cultures, vivo tubers leaves three JA cultivars their significant role for health.Inulin as a food ingredient, protein polyphenols were selected.The...
The constat growth of the Earth’s population brings with itself a higher demand for food and protein not only in human nutrition but also feeding livestock. Currently, feed industry is mainly built onseed-based protein, wherethebaseplant soybean, which large lycovered by imports Hungary, similar toother European countries. However, long-term economically sustainable lifestock breeding demandschanges has worked out strategies. An alternative sources could be green leafy plants.

Abstract Jerusalem artichoke is widely known for its inulin-enriched tubers. Recently the opportunity has been arisen to involve whole plant in biorefinery concept due high lignocellulose biomass and tuber production. This paper focuses on repeatedly harvestable green of artichoke. Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Ionization/Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-MS) was applied identify phytochemicals leaf protein concentrate (JAPC) thermally extracted from three clones,...
The purpose of this research was to determine the effects varieties, different light conditions (short day, long natural short day with pollution), and growing media (perlite, peat-free, peat-based, aeroponics system) on Rudbeckia hirta plant production under controlled (greenhouse). morphological each treatment (photoperiodic lightings media) varieties determined at 11 weeks-old ’Napfény’, ’Toto Gold’, ’Autumn Colors’, ’Prairie Sun’ 16 ’Napfény’. Plantlets received 12 hours daylight did not...
