ARTICHOKE: AN ALMOST SWEET COMPLEXITY

Dec 12, 2021

Once cooked, the artichoke is dominated by an aromatic compound (1 -hexen-3 -one-), which also contributes to the aromatic profile of raspberry, honey, lime, butter and cooked milk.  In fact, artichoke is marked by more than 48 organic compounds, including coumarin, with the tonka bean odour, as well as some furans, phenols and other aldehydes.
