Summary

L. siceraria is a minor vegetable crop cultivated in South Italy for its immature fruits and young shoots used as food. A substantial increase in consumption could come from processing. This research provides preliminary information on suitability of preparation for frozen and 'ready to use' products. Enzyme activity is studied, as well as chemical composition and quality protection through citric acid solution dippings.
