Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) Overview
Artichoke, also known as chrysanthemum thistle, is a perennial herb belonging to the Compositae family. It was introduced to China from France in the 19th century, particularly in the French Concession of Shanghai, where it has been cultivated for over a century. The name "artichoke" is believed to have originated from a misunderstanding during its introduction via Japan and Korea, a name that remains in use today. However, the artichoke is native to the Mediterranean region of Europe, where it has been enjoyed since ancient Roman and Greek times, often served as a delicacy for dignitaries.
Cultivation in China
In China, artichokes are primarily cultivated in regions such as Shanghai, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Yunnan. The demand for artichokes in developed countries like the United States and Western Europe continues to rise, with Chinese supermarkets commonly labeling them as "artichokes." Despite their relatively small production scale in China, there is a growing export market for canned artichokes, which are in short supply internationally.
Nutritional Profile
The edible parts of the artichoke, particularly the curds, are rich in various nutrients, including high protein, calcium, and phosphorus. Additionally, artichokes contain significant amounts of inulin, especially in their roots. Functional compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids, including artichoke acid and chlorogenic acid, are present not only in the curds but also in the leaves.
Artichoke Extract (Cynarin)
Cynarin, an extract derived from the leaves of the artichoke, contains active compounds such as coffee quinic acid. Common specifications for cynarin include:
Indigestion Relief Artichokes have a long history in Europe as an herbal remedy for indigestion. Artichoke extract is effective in alleviating gastrointestinal issues such as abdominal pain, bloating, and nausea.
Hypolipidemic and Anti-Atherosclerotic Properties Numerous studies indicate that Cynarin, an extract from artichokes, can lower blood lipid levels. It primarily works by influencing the synthesis and breakdown pathways of cholesterol and lipids in the liver, helping to regulate lipid levels and prevent atherosclerosis.
Liver Protection and Antioxidant Activity Research on artichoke's antioxidant properties primarily focuses on its leaf extracts. The antioxidant capacity of polyphenolic compounds isolated from artichokes is largely determined by the number of hydroxyl groups on their aromatic rings; the more hydroxyl groups present, the stronger the antioxidant effect. Additionally, hydroxyl groups positioned ortho and para can further enhance this capacity. This antioxidant action is a key factor in artichoke extract’s ability to protect the liver and promote liver regeneration.
Antimicrobial Effects Compounds in artichokes, such as chlorogenic acid, artichoke acid, luteolin-7-rutinoside, and artichoke glycoside, exhibit notable antimicrobial activity, particularly antifungal effects, which are stronger than their antibacterial properties.
Additional Health Benefits Artichoke leaf extract, especially its flavonoids, can regulate the gene expression of nitric oxide (NO) synthase in human epithelial cells, promoting the synthesis of NO and potentially preventing cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, the bitterns found in artichokes have antispasmodic properties. Artichokes also enhance intestinal peristalsis and promote contraction of the intestinal wall, facilitating faster transport of substances through the intestines and helping to prevent constipation.
