The fight against insect pests primarily relies on the utilization of synthetic insecticides. However, improper application these chemicals can lead to detrimental effects both environment and human health, as well foster development resistance. Consequently, novel strategies must be implemented address challenges stemming from prolonged use insecticides in agricultural public health environments. Certain involve combination crop protectants, which not only enhance insecticidal effectiveness but also reduce rates. Plant-based natural products emerge promising alternatives for management. Monoterpenes, are abundant plant compounds produced through activation various enzymes, have attracted significant attention their control. Notably, they prolific fragrance-producing plants. This review explores defense, insecticidal, antimicrobial characteristics monoterpenes pests, shedding light potential modes action possibilities commercialization. Emphasizing role targeted environmentally safer, highlights practical viability within integrated pest management programs.

Development and Applications of Bambusa stenostachya Leaf Extract in Personal Care Products

Processes, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 13(1), С. 233 - 233

Опубликована: Янв. 15, 2025

Concerns about the safety of traditional preservatives in personal care products are driving interest toward self-preserving alternatives. This study explores potential B. stenostachya leaf extracts, a natural and biodegradable material, for use cosmetics. stenostachya, fast-growing bamboo species native to Taiwan, is rich bioactive compounds, including flavonoids with antimicrobial properties. Leaves were obtained from Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) Tainan, extracted using ultrasonic Soxhlet methods water, 50% ethanol, 95% ethanol. The highest yield was achieved ethanol at 100 °C. Cytotoxicity evaluated NIH/3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line, no toxicity observed dilutions between 1/3200 1/400, indicating extract’s cosmetic use. Antimicrobial activity tested accordance ISO 11930:2019 standards. extract effectively inhibited Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus pathogens, meeting preservative efficacy Standards A B long-term microbial control. Bamboo sustainable resource lower environmental impacts, its show promising biodegradability reduced footprints. research indicates that offers alternative chemical preservatives, promoting both sustainability public health, expanded formulations.

Recovery, Bioactivity, and Utilization of Bioactive Phenolic Compounds in Citrus Peel

Food Science & Nutrition, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 12(12), С. 9974 - 9997

Опубликована: Ноя. 7, 2024

ABSTRACT Citrus peels are rich in bioactive phenolic compounds with various health effects including antioxidant, antiobesity, antiinflammatory, antihypertensive, antihypercholesterolemic, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and anticarcinogenic activities. Both extractable nonextractable phenolics present significant amounts peel diverse bioactivities. While can be recovered from the fruit by conventional extraction methods, remaining residues must released cell matrix first hydrolysis acid, alkali, or enzymes. Novel processing technologies help improvement of efficiency. Extreme process medium conditions degrade their bioactivity where encapsulation applied to improve stability, solubility, bioactivity. powder ascorbic acid dietary fiber besides extracts therefrom used as functional food ingredients extend shelf life provide benefits. In addition, antioxidant antimicrobial agents active packaging applications. Phenolic have also a potential nutraceuticals pharmaceuticals. this review, different forms peels, recovery, possible applications for upcycling industry presented.
