Abstract:Asparagus has a well-developed root system and strong ecological adaptability,with notable drought resistance,salt and alkali tolerance,and ability to thrive in poor soil conditions,making it a pioneer plant for reclaiming saline-alkali lands.Selecting asparagus varieties that suit local climate and soil conditions while excelling in both nutritional value and market quality is crucial for enhancing cultivation efficiency and meeting market demands.This study selected three asparagus varieties('Jinguan''Feicuimingzhu''Hangtian 6')as experimental materials.The nutritional quality of the tender edible stems was analysed by measuring the water content,soluble protein,soluble sugar,reducing sugar,chlorophyll,and comparing and analysing the differences among the three varieties.The results showed that'Feicuimingzhu'performs best in terms of water content(93.78%),flavonoids(0.11 mg/100 g),soluble sugar(1.11 mg/100 g),reducing sugar(0.94 mg/100 g),vitamin C(11.66 mg/100 g),and carotenoids(0.047 mg/g).'Hangtian 6'demonstrated higher levels of soluble protein(8.17 mg/100 g)and chlorophyll(0.48 mg/g).Comprehensive analysis revealed that the nutritional indicators of'Feicuimingzhu'were relatively good,making it suitable for local cultivation.The experimental results provided important theoretical support and practical references for the selection of excellent asparagus varieties,the optimization of cultivation layout,and the improvement of the industry quality in this region.
