Cichorium intybus
Herbe méditerranéenne dont la racine rôtie est un substitut célèbre au café. Utilisée comme tonique hépatique et source de fibres prébiotiques.
Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is a Mediterranean herb whose roasted root serves as a popular coffee substitute. It is primarily used as a prebiotic fiber source and liver tonic, with key active compounds including inulin, chicoric acid, and sesquiterpene lactones. Modern applications focus on supporting digestive health, blood sugar management, and hepatoprotection.
Inulin, a fructan polysaccharide, acts as a prebiotic by selectively stimulating beneficial gut bacteria such as Bifidobacteria, enhancing short-chain fatty acid production and improving gut barrier function. Chicoric acid and sesquiterpene lactones exhibit anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects via modulation of NF-κB and Nrf2 pathways, while lactucin may contribute to mild sedative and appetite-stimulating actions. The root's bitter principles also stimulate digestive secretions through activation of taste receptor T2R signaling.
