  • And Liquorice
    Progress in Nutrition 2018; Vol. 20, N. 4: 713-720 DOI: 110.23751/pn.v20i4.7950 © Mattioli 1885 Original article Efficiency of spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) and liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) extracts in oxidative stability of fish oil under accelerated conditions İlknur Ucak Nigde Omer Halisdemir University, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Technologies, Nigde, Turkey. E-mail: [email protected] Summary. Nowadays, innumerable synthetic and naturally sourced antioxidants are used to overcome the quality problems of fish and fish products. When considering the rejection of synthetic additives by consum- ers, demand for the natural sources food supplements has increased. This study focuses on the potential use of spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) and liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) extracts as natural antioxidant in fish oil during accelerated storage. Ethanolic (70%) extracts of spearmint and liquorice were prepared and synthetic antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) added into the fish oil in different concentrations (100, 500 and 1,000 ppm). The peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid value (TBARS), para-anisidine value (p-Av) and UV-spectrum analyses of fish oil were evaluated during storage at 55oC. Throughout the the storage period the PV, TBARS value, p-Av, conjugated dienes (UV232) and conjugated trienes (UV270) values of spearmint and liquorice extracts added samples were significantly lower than the control and BHT added samples. Ac- cording to results of the study, 500 and 1,000 ppm concentrations of spearmint and liquorice extracts were more effective in prevention of lipid oxidation in fish oil. The results revail that spearmint and liquorice ex- tracts could be a natural antioxidant source for oxidative stability of fish oil.

  • Study of the Anti-Inflammatory Activity
    Pharmacology STUDY OF THE ANTI-IINFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF SOME MEDICINAL EDIBLE PLANTS GROWING IN EGYPT N. M. AMMAR* S. Y. AL OKBI** D. A. MOHAMED** SUMMARY: Several edible plants are used in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory condi- tions. The anti-inflammatory activity of some bioactive fractions isolated from the seeds of Trigonella foenum groecum, L., the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra, L. and the fruits of Coriandrum sativum, L. were determined using the carragenan induced oedema method in comparison with two reference synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs. The petroleum ether and the aqueous methanolic extract of fenugreek and liquorice as well as the whole pow- dered fruit of coriander in a dose of 200 mg/kg exhibited a significant reduction in the volume of inflammation with variable degreeses. The same active dose from the three plants also inhibited prostaglandins E2 levels in a range of 55-64%. Chromatographic fractionation of the bioactive components revealed the isolation of unsatu- rated fatty acids and flavonoids in the three plants, while saponins were only present in fenugreek and liquorice. The anti-inflammatory activity may be attributed to the presence of the forementioned bioactive compounds. Key Words: Anti-inflammatory, medicinal, edible plants.

  • Supertea Catalog
    In 1908, American tea merchant Thomas Sullivan distributed samples of tea in silk pouches. Not intending his customers put them directly in hot water that way, some tried it and asked for more of the same. It was thus by accident that the tea bag was born. We've come a long way since then. Today, Supertea's bags are made with environmentally friendly, biodegradable paper, and each of our paper tea bags carry delightful, innovative tea and herbal infusions of liquorice, elderflower, aronia berries and more.

  • Essential Oil Prevents Covid-19 | Encyclopedia
    Essential Oil Prevents COVID- 19 Subjects: Pharmacology & Toxicology | Virology Submitted by: Senthil Kumar Definition Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV‑2), also known as coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), is a pandemic disease that has been declared as modern history’s gravest health emergency worldwide. Until now, no precise treatment modality has been developed. The angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, a host cell receptor, has been found to play a crucial role in virus cell entry; therefore, ACE2 blockers can be a potential target for anti-viral intervention. In this study, we evaluated the ACE2 inhibitory effects of 10 essential oils. Among them, geranium and lemon oils displayed significant ACE2 inhibitory effects in epithelial cells. In addition, immunoblotting and qPCR analysis also confirmed that geranium and lemon oils possess potent ACE2 inhibitory effects. Furthermore, the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis displayed 22 compounds in geranium oil and 9 compounds in lemon oil. Citronellol, geraniol, and neryl acetate were the major compounds of geranium oil and limonene that represented major compound of lemon oil. Next, we found that treatment with citronellol and limonene significantly downregulated ACE2 expression in epithelial cells. The results suggest that geranium and lemon essential oils and their derivative compounds are valuable natural anti- viral agents that may contribute to the prevention of the invasion of SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 into the human body. 1. Introduction Coronaviridae or coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause disease in mammals and birds. In humans, the viruses cause illness, ranging from common cold to severe respiratory diseases.
