Fresh cut artichokes: what we know and what we should know

Fresh artichokes (Cynara cardunculus L. subsp. scolymus (L.) Hayek) when cut suffer important degradative reactions, resulting in browning of cut-surfaces, and darkening of the outer bracts, which limit their diffusion as fresh-cut product. On the other side, due to the time-consuming trimming opera...
