“…Savory is an annual herbaceous crop which is native to north Africa and Eurasia, where it is grown in abundance, especially in France and Spain. The extracts and essential oil fractions obtained from the herb are dominated by coumarin, phenolic acids, hydroxybenzoic acids, flavonoids, linoleic acid, oleic acid, phytosterols (β-sitosterol and stigmasterol), and pectic polysaccharides; and accounting for the herb's antimicrobial, pesticidal, anti-parasitic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, analgesic, and anticancer properties [3,21]. Recently, Boroja et al proposed the hepatoprotective role of savory in treating cisplatin-induced liver injury in rats.…”

“…This specific interaction is the basis for the technique known as cell membrane chromatography (CMC). Therefore, the CMC approach aids in purification of the specific target molecules from a complex sample [21]. CMC rapidly screens complicated samples based on the affinity between a phytomedicine and a membrane receptor.…”

Herbal nutraceuticals are foods derived from plants and/or their derivatives, such as oils, roots, seeds, berries, or flowers, that support wellness and combat acute and chronic ailments induced by unhealthful dietary habits. The current review enlists various traditional as well as unexplored herbs including angelica, burnet, caraway, laurel, parsley, yarrow, and zedoary, which are rich sources of bioactive components, such as aloesin, angelicin, trans-anethole, and cholesteric-7-en-3β-ol. The review further compares some of the extraction and purification techniques, namely, Soxhlet extraction, ultrasound assisted extraction, microwave assisted extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, accelerated solvent extraction, hydro-distillation extraction, ultra-high-pressure extraction, enzyme assisted extraction, pulsed electric field extraction, bio affinity chromatography, cell membrane chromatography, and ligand fishing. Herbal nutraceuticals can be purchased in varied formulations, such as capsules, pills, powders, liquids, and gels. Some of the formulations currently available on the market are discussed here. Further, the significance of herbal nutraceuticals in prevention and cure of diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, dementia, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia; and as immunomodulators and antimicrobial agents has been discussed. Noteworthy, the inappropriate use of these herbal nutraceuticals can lead to hepatotoxicity, pulmonary toxicity, cytotoxicity, carcinogenicity, nephrotoxicity, hematotoxicity, and cardiac toxicity. Hence, this review concludes with a discussion of various regulatory aspects undertaken by the government agencies in order to minimize the adverse effects associated with herbal nutraceuticals.
