Abstract
The authors evaluated the vegetative growth and alkaloid content of the Papaver somniferum L. var. album D.C. capsules cultivated in Assoro (Enna) Sicily, in relation to the geographical position, environmental conditions and soil type. Gas chromatography revealed low alkaloid opiate producing capacity which makes cultivation for therapeutic and toxicologic purposes uneconomic. On the contrary, the elevated production of capsules containing numerous seeds justifies its cultivation for extraction of oil for the food industry and paint production.
The results suggest that the cultivation of Papaver somniferum studied is used for baking traditional cakes and bread.
研究了西西里岛上栽培的木瓜(Papaver somniferum L. var. album D.C.)蒴果的营养生长和生物碱含量与地理位置、环境条件和土壤类型的关系。气相色谱分析显示,阿片类生物碱的生产能力较低,这使得用于治疗和毒理学目的的培养不经济。相反,含有大量种子的胶囊的产量提高,证明了种植它用于提取食品工业和油漆生产的油是合理的。结果表明,所研究的罂粟可用于传统蛋糕和面包的烘焙。
