Identification and quantitation of predominant odorants in roasted chicory
Volatile components of roasted chicory brews were isolated by direct solvent extraction followed by solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE). Identification of potent odorants was achieved by gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) combined with aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) and gas …

Vineyard floor management in the Finger Lakes region: physiological and microbial perspectives
… vineyard in the Finger Lakes region showed that chicory was the most effective cover crop to consistently reduce pruning weight and canopy leaf layer number without reducing yield compared to glyphosate maintained bare soil, whereas other under-vine cover crop treatments were not as consistent. …
