Composition and content (1)
Scope: Sugarloaf chicory roots in a field trial (completely randomized design, 3 plots and 173 plants per treatment).
Note: This study used only chemical analyses such as 1H-NMR and did not conduct sensory evaluation. Its results alone cannot establish a connection to perceived bitterness.

ingredient-chicory-root —has_composition→ "A field comparison of sugarloaf chicory (Cichorium intybus var. porphyreum) roots under 2 irrigation treatments (W100 control and W67 reduced water, 67% of control irrigation), using 1H-NMR metabolic profiling, found changes of -39% to -50% (decreases) in each major root sesquiterpene lactone conjugate (the 15-oxalate conjugates of lactucin, 8-deoxylactucin, and lactucopicrin) in W67. At the same time, sucrose, alanine, threonine, and phosphocholine increased, while asparagine, glutamic acid, chiro-inositol, and myo-inositol decreased."Culture (1)
