Abstract:
The aerial parts of Onopordum illyricum L. (Asteraceae) are eaten raw in salad in the Mediterranean area, representing a food
of good nutritional value. Extracts of different parts of this plant have been analyzed by HPLC/DAD/ESIMS and the major
compounds identified by NMR spectroscopy. Fatty acids, sesquiterpene lactones, triterpenes and polyphenols (flavones and
caffeoyl quinic acids) fully describe the plant metabolism during the vegetation year. All the metabolites are non toxic
nutrients, and are reported in the literature to possess biological activities positive for health, confirming the beneficial use in
the diet of this thistle
