With the prohibition of many chemical pesticides due to their impact on health living resources, as well quality food, soil and water, it has become essential look for alternatives natural origin that promote sustainability. This study focuses antifungal activity Rosmarinus officinalis, Origanum majorana Citrus aurantium oils against Phytophthora palmivora Alternaria alternata. The six oil concentrations was tested in vitro by direct contact method. After a seven-day follow-up, results revealed significant effect oil, with total inhibition mycelial growth at concentration 1.5 μl/ml 3.33 alternata respectively. While officinalis showed less activity, MICs ranging from 6.66 μL/mL 12.5 μL/mL. These promising pave way vivo efficacy tests confirm its use more sustainable agricultural practices.

Wound healing is a process that happens when lost tissue replenishes. For this process, both protective elements and wound accelerating factors are required. In recent years, the search for natural products promote faster prevent adverse effects has gained momentum. This systematic review, adhering to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items Systematic reviews Meta-Analyses) criteria, of products, with focus on from Mediterranean region. study sourced PubMed Scopus databases eligible articles publications over last six years. Due information volume, only in vitro studies were included review. The criteria set concluded 28 included.

Mediterranean officinal plants and spices are rich sources of bioactive compounds that can be used to improve the safety quality fresh food products. Among them, essential oils (EOs), known for their antimicrobial antioxidant activities, a feasible solution natural healthy foods with low environmental impact. This study evaluates potential ten EOs derived from spices. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis identified properties. In vitro using different methods highlighted promising effect cloves cinnamon EOs. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) assays revealed strong activity oregano against foodborne pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes Staphylococcus aureus, MIC values ranging 0.25 0.50 mg/mL. attributed predominance carvacrol cinnamaldehyde, whose is well-documented. The impact medium pH water on efficacy was also assessed. Overall, this research contributes increasing knowledge applications plant-derived in preservation, offering natural, sustainable, consumer-friendly approach enhancing quality, safety, nutritional value.
