accomplished in ‘Blanca
de Tudela’ artichoke slices dipped into 0.5 g/100 mL Cys aqueous
solutions (Ghidelli et al., 2013). Therefore, this SPI-based coating
slightly improved the quality of artichoke slices as the formulation
had a lower Cys concentration, which lowered the risk of
altering artichoke flavor and its natural green color. Del Nobile
et al. (2009) reported that minimally processed artichoke heads
dipped into sodium alginate-based edible coating containing citric
acid achieved a 3-day storage, whereas the shelf-life of the control
ranged from 1 to 2 days at 5 ◦C.
