Clinopodium nepeta subsp. spruneri is an aromatic herb with a mint-oregano flavor, used in Mediterranean regions traditional medicine. The aerial parts of the plant are rich essential oil that has antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties as well insecticidal activity. aim our work was to determine yield composition plant, relation harvest season cultivation method, i.e., outdoor, greenhouse vitro culture, using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analytical tool. Essential fluctuated similarly outdoor plants during year (0.9-2.6%), higher percentages (2.1-2.6%) hottest periods June-October (flowering stage) April (vegetative stage), similar (1.7%). More compounds were identified (35) compared (21), while main same, pulegone (13.0-32.0%, highest February-April, 15.0% vitro), piperitenone oxide (3.8-31.8%, lowest February, 34.2% piperitone epoxide (4.6-16.4%, 15.5% D-limonene (2.1-8.8%, 10.0% isomenthone (2.3-23.0%, 4.6% germacrene D (1.9-6.5% December-April, 2.9% vitro) dicyclogermacrene (2.1-5.3%, 5.2% vitro). Therefore, cultures equally efficient yielding its constituents cultivation, cultivations, season, mainly due prevailing ambient temperatures, affected percentage composition.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected agri-food systems worldwide. However, while the impacts differed from one country/region to another, scholarly literature seems focus on developed countries in Global North. Consequently, this review scrutinizes pandemic's Near East and North Africa (NENA) region. A search Web of Science March 2023 generated 334 documents, which 151 were eligible for inclusion systematic review. According bibliometric analysis, most active nations are Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Lebanon. In general, coverage studies is better Gulf region than less those suffering wars (cf. Libya, Syria, Yemen). Studies generally crop production downstream food chain distribution consumption). While influenced every pillar security, research concentrates access utilization.

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) hold promising potential in the selective purification of bioactive molecules from various complex sources. Although they are increasingly considered as a biocompatible extraction medium, adding task-specific functionality, which makes DES distinctive for compounds, requires appropriate tailoring their physical properties. This critical review investigates influential properties deep and effect on sustainable methods—including both solid–liquid liquid–liquid—for separation nutraceuticals. Various methods by employed solvents, cosolvents, or adjuvants different systems compared terms efficiency selectivity. Furthermore, correspondence between type nature target nutraceuticals to be extracted is also discussed. The Review highlights key achievements future prospects employing along with lacunae current investigations proposed approaches applications.
