Peppermint and menthol: a review on their biochemistry, pharmacological activities, clinical applications, and safety considerations

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 26

Опубликована: Янв. 3, 2024

In this manuscript, we conducted a comprehensive review of the diverse effects peppermint on human health and explored potential underlying mechanisms. Peppermint contains three main groups phytochemical constituents, including essential oils (mainly menthol), flavonoids (such as hesperidin, eriodictyol, naringenin, quercetin, myricetin, kaempferol), nonflavonoid phenolcarboxylic acids. exhibits antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-cancer, anti-aging, analgesic properties may be effective in treating various disorders, gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia, constipation, functional nausea/vomiting, gallbladder stones). addition, has therapeutic benefits for psychological cognitive health, dental urinary retention, skin wound healing, well anti-depressant anti-anxiety effects, it improve memory. However, paradoxical sleep quality alertness, been shown to patients with fatigue anxiety, while also increasing alertness under conditions monotonous work relaxation. We discuss its protective against toxic agents at recommended doses, safety toxicity. Overall, provides latest findings insights into clinical peppermint/menthol highlights natural agent conditions.

Towards a Greener Future: Sustainable Innovations in the Extraction of Lavender (Lavandula spp.) Essential Oil

Foods, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(1), С. 100 - 100

Опубликована: Янв. 2, 2025

Lavender is one of the most appreciated aromatic plants, with high economic value in food, cosmetics, perfumery, and pharmaceutical industries. essential oil (LEO) known to have demonstrative antimicrobial, antioxidant, therapeutic, flavor fragrance properties. Conventional extraction methods, e.g., steam distillation (SD) hydro-distillation (HD), been traditionally employed extract LEO. However, low yield, energy consumption, long time conventional methods prompted introduction novel technologies. Some these innovative approaches, such as ohmic-assisted, microwave-assisted, supercritical fluid, subcritical water are used substitutes methods. While other sonication, pulsed electric field, cold plasma, can be a pre-treatment that preceded by or emerging These approaches great significance reducing shortening time, increasing yield quality EOs. Therefore, they considered sustainable scale-up technologies an industrial level should also investigated from techno-economic points view future studies.

Study of the Reinforcing Effect and Antibacterial Activity of Edible Films Based on a Mixture of Chitosan/Cassava Starch Filled with Bentonite Particles with Intercalated Ginger Essential Oil

Polymers, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(17), С. 2531 - 2531

Опубликована: Сен. 6, 2024

Edible films based on biopolymers are used to protect food from adverse environmental factors. However, their ample use may be hindered by some challenges mechanical and antimicrobial properties. Despite this, in most cases, increasing properties antibacterial activity remains a relevant challenge. To solve this problem, possible option is fill the biopolymer matrix of with functional filler that combines high reinforcing In work, biocomposite mixture chitosan cassava starch were filled hybrid form bentonite clay particles loaded ginger essential oil (GEO) structure varied concentrations. For purpose, GEO components intercalated into interlayer space using capture approach without surface-active toxic agents. The loading efficiency obtained analyzed lyophilization laser analysis dispersions, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis. optical scanning electron energy dispersive under tension, disk diffusion method for activity. results demonstrated tensile strength, Young’s modulus, elongation at break, effect increased 40%, 19%, 44%, 23%, respectively, compared unfilled film when concentration was 0.5–1 wt.%.

Phytochemical-mediated efferocytosis and autophagy in inflammation control

Cell Death Discovery, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 10(1)

Опубликована: Дек. 18, 2024

Abstract Efferocytosis, the clearance of apoptotic cells, is a critical process that maintains tissue homeostasis and immune regulation. Defective efferocytosis linked to development chronic inflammatory conditions, including atherosclerosis, neurological disorders, autoimmune diseases. Moreover, interplay between autophagy crucial for inflammation control, as enhances ability phagocytic cells. Efficient efferocytosis, in turn, regulates autophagic pathways, fostering balanced cellular environment. Dysregulation this balance can contribute pathogenesis various disorders. Phytochemicals, bioactive compounds found plants, have emerged promising therapeutic agents owing their diverse pharmacological properties, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory effects. This review aims highlight pivotal role phytochemicals enhancing explore potential prevention treatment related study examines how influence key aspects cell activation, macrophage polarization, induction. The atherosclerosis diseases highlighted, emphasizing enhance reduce inflammation. also discusses innovative approaches, such nanoformulations combination therapies improve targeting bioavailability phytochemicals. Ultimately, inspires further research clinical applications phytochemical-mediated enhancement managing conditions.
