What science says
compound effect
“Studies have been carried out to evaluate whether chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) and rocket salad [Eruca vesicaria (L.) Cav. subsp. sativa (Mill)] nitrate (NO3) content can be reduced by decreasing nitrate‐nitrogen (NO3‐N) in the nutrient solution or by partially replacing it with ammonium‐nitrogen (NH4‐N) (chicory only) few days before harvest.”
partially replacing nitrate-nitrogen with ammonium-nitrogen→reduced→nitrate content in chicory
“In ileum, the villus height and villus crypt depth was decreased by dietary chicory supplementation compared with control (p< 0.05), but, the villus height to crypt depth ratio was increased (p< 0.05).”
chicory fructans→increased→villus height to crypt depth ratio
