Synthetic additives can reduce food spoilage, but the present generation is very health conscious and believes in natural products rather than synthetic ones due to their potential toxicity and other concerns. Therefore, one of the major emerging technologies is the extraction of essential oils from several plant organs and their application to foods. Essential oils are a good source of several bioactive compounds, which possess antioxidative and antimicrobial properties, so their use can be very useful to extend shelf-life in food products. Although essential oils have been shown to be promising alternative to chemical preservatives, they present special limitations that must be solved before their application in food systems. Low water solubility, high volatility, and strong odor are the main properties that make it difficult for food applications. Recent advances that refer to new forms of application to avoid these problems are currently under study. Their application into packaging materials and coated films but also directly into the food matrix as emulsions, nanoemulsions, and coating are some of their new applications among others.

Methanol extracts obtained both from plantlets and wild plants were analyzed for their total phenolics and flavonoid contents, then quantified by HPLC. The highest total phenolic (8.83 mg/g as gallic acid equivalent) and total flavonoid (0.92 mg/mL as rutin equivalent) values were from the MS media supplemented with 1.0 mg/L kinetin and 0.5 mg/L BA, respectively. The plantlets grown in those media also showed remarkable antioxidant activities with an IC50 value of 4.77 µg/mL in DPPH and 100% inhibition in β-carotene assays, respectively.

Forty-six ethnobotanical and ethnographical sources from Spain were reviewed, together with some original unpublished field data from several Spanish provinces. A total of 419 plant species belonging to 67 families was recorded. A list of species, plant parts used, localization and method of consumption, and harvesting time is presented. Of the seven different food categories considered, green vegetables were the largest group, followed by plants used to prepare beverages, wild fruits, and plants used for seasoning, sweets, preservatives, and other uses. Important species according to the number of reports include: Foeniculum vulgare, Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum, Origanum vulgare, Rubus ulmifolius, Silene vulgaris, Asparagus acutifolius, and Scolymus hispanicus. We studied data on the botanical families to which the plants in the different categories belonged, over- lapping between groups and distribution of uses of the different species.

Sandra Vacas González Valencia, 22 de febrero de 2019 Composición química del aceite esencial de Thymus Piperella L. y su variabilidad estacional Autora: Natalia Escrivà Todolí Trabajo Final de Grado Tutor: D. Juan Antonio Llorens Molina Realizado en: Valencia Fecha: Febrero, 2019 RESUMEN Thymus Piperella L. es una planta silvestre considerada un endemismo valenciano y conocida popularmente como pebrella. Una de sus utilidades más populares es como aromatizante y saborizante de los alimentos por su olor característico, utilizándose para el aliño de las aceitunas y condimento para algunos embutidos y gazpachos. Observando la composición de su aceite esencial, normalmente nos podemos encontrar como compuestos mayoritarios timol, carvacrol, p-cimeno y ɣ-terpineno, que pueden utilizarse como agentes antimicrobianos por su efecto inhibidor frente a determinadas bacterias que pueden afectar a la conservación de algunos alimentos. Uno de los principales factores de variabilidad en el rendimiento y composición de los aceites esenciales es el relacionado con los cambios estacionales, derivados del desarrollo vegetativo de la planta. En este sentido, y sobre todo cuando se pasa de la recolección al cultivo de las plantas aromáticas, el conocimiento de estas variaciones es imprescindible para optimizar la obtención de aceite esencial, así como la actividad biológica derivada de su composición.

In this study, we developed a micropropagation protocol for T. vulgaris ‘Słoneczko’ and evaluated the potential of micropropagated plants for essential oil production with industrial application. The seeds were soaked for 10 min in 10% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution. Then, each seed was put into a 20 ml test tube filled with 5ml of Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. Half of the cultures were subjected to light intensity which was maintained at 40 µEm −2 s−1 , and the other half was cultured in the dark. Shoot explants were multiplied in vitro using MS medium supplemented with BAP, 2iP or KIN. The results obtained indicate that the cytokinin which had the most positive impact on plant development at the multiplication stage was 5 mg dm−3 2iP.

European folk medicine has a long and vibrant history, enriched with the various documented uses of local and imported plants and plant products that are often unique to specific cultures or environments. In this paper, we consider the medicoethnobotanical field studies conducted in Europe over the past two decades. We contend that these studies represent an important foundation for understanding local small-scale uses of CAM natural products and allow us to assess the potential for expansion of these into the global market. Moreover, we discuss how field studies of this nature can provide useful information to the allopathic medical community as they seek to reconcile existing and emerging CAM therapies with conventional biomedicine.

TFG REALIZADO EN PROGRAMA DE INTERCAMBIO TÍTULO: Distillation and extraction of herbs from Lamiaceae family ALUMNO: Nuria Morro Pérez FECHA: 21 de Junio de 2021 CENTRO: Faculty of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology UNIVERSIDAD: Budapest University of Technology and Economics TUTOR: Dr. Erika Vági RESUMEN En este trabajo de fin de grado se llevó a cabo la destilación y extracción de cuatro plantas de la familia Lamiaceae: lavanda (Lavandula angustifolia), tomillo (Thymus vulgaris L.), menta verde (Mentha spicata L.) y menta piperita (Mentha piperita L.). Se realizaron dos extracciones: Soxhlet y extracción asistida por ultrasonidos. La hidrodestilación se llevó a cabo con un aparato Clevenger, para obtener los aceites esenciales. La extracción Soxhlet se probó con dos disolventes: n-pentano y etanol al 96%. En cada caso, el etanol al 96% fue más eficaz. La extracción asistida por ultrasonidos se llevó a cabo por pasos. Se realizaron tres extracciones en cada experimento. El disolvente utilizado para este tipo de extracción fue etanol al 96% y una mezcla de agua y etanol (70% de etanol). Se obtuvieron mayores rendimientos con el etanol al 70%. En todos los experimentos, los rendimientos más altos se obtuvieron con la lavanda. Palabras clave: Lamiaceae, hidrodestilación, Soxhlet, extracción asistida por ultasinidos, aceite esencial ABSTRACT Plant products are present in many industries due to their numerous applications.
