In the present study plant growth, nutritional value and chemical composition of leaves from twenty-five plain-leafed, curly-leafed and turnip-rooted parsley cultivars were evaluated. Total fresh yield was higher for the plain-leafed cv. Rialto Bejo: 192 ± 11 g/pot, while significant differences were observed between the three types in the nutritional parameters, except for the carbohydrates content. The most abundant organic acid was malic acid (5.22–6.88 g/100 g dw), while the total sugars content did not differ significantly among the tested cultivar types. α-tocopherol was the major tocopherol detected in amount that ranged between 14.76–30.32 mg/100 g dw. The main fatty acids were α-linolenic and linoleic followed by palmitic acid, while only linoleic acid content being different among the cultivar types. In conclusion, the existing diversity in the parsley genotypes could be valorised to increase the agrobiodiversity in the broader Mediterranean region through the introduction of less cultivated curly-leafed and turnip-rooted types.

盆栽萝卜根和无叶香菜品种的植物化学组成和营养价值

在本研究中，对来自25个平叶，卷曲叶和萝卜根香菜品种的叶片的营养价值和化学成分进行了评估。平叶简历的总新鲜产量更高。里亚托·贝霍（Rialto Bejo）：192±11 g /罐，而三种类型的营养参数之间存在显着差异，除了碳水化合物含量。最丰富的有机酸是苹果酸（5.22-6.88 g / 100 g dw），而所测品种之间的总糖含量没有显着差异。α-生育酚是检测到的主要生育酚，含量在14.76–30.32 mg / 100 g dw之间。主要脂肪酸为α-亚麻酸和亚油酸，其次是棕榈酸，而在不同品种中，仅亚油酸含量有所不同。总之，通过引入耕种较少的卷曲叶和萝卜根类型，可以利用香菜基因型中现有的多样性来增加整个地中海地区的农业生物多样性。
