Two new sesquineolignans, Furfuraceol A (1) and Furfuraceol B (2), have been isolated from the flowers of Centaurea furfuracea as a mixture of two isomers. Their structures have been determined by spectroscopic methods including 2D NMR spectroscopy COSY, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY.

Yogurt with cornflower (Centaurea cyanus L.) petals as a source of antioxidant compounds and dietary fiber: physicochemical and spectroscopic research during storage.

Department of Plant Physiology, University of Life Sciences in Lublin, 20-950 Lublin, Poland.
An extensive study was undertaken using the petals of cornflower (Centaurea cyanus (Cyani flos)) flowers in yogurt production as a source of dietary fiber and antioxidant compounds, and as a natural dye, taking into account a 21-d refrigerated storage period. An additional aim of the study was to use cornflower petals in natural form rather than an extract. Four forms of cornflower petals: fresh, dried, frozen, and freeze-dried, were tested.

Specialty cut flowers are in demand, especially in the domestic market as they can be grown with low production costs without the need for specially equipped greenhouses and offer diversity in terms of form, texture, and colour. These products, which are widely cultivated in the USA, are not well known in Türkiye. One of the main problems of the Turkish cut flower sector is its dependence on foreign inputs and the lack of product diversity.

This aspect of genetic variation can have consequences for traits and fitness, but few studies attributed genome size differentiation to ecological and evolutionary processes. Biological invasions present particularly useful natural laboratories to infer selective agents that might drive genome size shifts across environments and population histories.
