“…15S, Supporting Information) could be detected between samples from the same species. This confirms variability in content of specific metabolites in individual samples of the same species, which has been reported already in previous studies and review articles [2,4,26]. Nevertheless, the here identified differences between species are species-specific, statistically significant, and can be therefore used for unambiguous identification.…”

Differentiation between Cistus L. (Sub-) Species (Cistaceae) Using NMR Metabolic Fingerprinting

The genus Cistus is taxonomically complex, as taxonomic classification of individual species based on morphological criteria is often difficult and ambiguous. However, specific species contain valuable natural products, especially terpenoids and polyphenols, which exert various biological effects and might therefore be used for treatment of a broad array of disorders. Hence, a fast and reliable method for clear identification of different Cistus (sub-) species is required. Approaches for analysis of secondary metabolite profiles, e.g., with NMR, might remedy the challenging classification of Cistus (sub-) species and help to identify specific markers for differentiation between them. In the present study, 678 samples from wild-growing Cistus populations, including 7 species and 6 subspecies/varieties thereof, were collected in 3 years from populations in 11 countries all over the Mediterranean basin. Samples were extracted with buffered aqueous methanol and analysed with NMR. From the resulting 1D-1H-NOESY and J-Res profile spectra, marker signals or spectral regions for the individual (sub-) species were identified with multivariate statistical tools. By examining the NMR profiles of these extracts, we were able to identify discriminators and specific markers for the investigated Cistus (sub-) species. Various influencing factors, like (sub-) species, wild harvestings of different populations from several countries, numerous collection sites, different years, and cultivation in greenhouses have been considered in this work. As the here identified markers are independent from these influencing factors, the results can be considered a robust model and might be used for future differentiation between Cistus (sub-) species.

“…Of special interest are phenylpropanoids and terpenoids, especially labdane-type diterpenes, as substances from these classes exert strong antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic/cytostatic, antitumour, antimicrobial, antiviral, and further pharmaceutically relevant effects [2][3][4][5][6].…”

“…Studies indicate that the Pink Rock Rose (also called Cistus gray, Cistus creticus L., son. Cistus villosus , Cistus polymorphus , and Cistus incanus creticus ) exhibits antimicrobial properties, and its oils and extracts show valuable antioxidant properties (Stępień et al 2018 ). Raw herbs, like other plant materials with high moisture content, are susceptible to deterioration of their quality or even spoilage due to microbial processes, and therefore they require adequate preservation.…”

The effect of drying methods on the energy consumption, bioactive potential and colour of dried leaves of Pink Rock Rose (Cistus creticus)

et al. 2019

This study aimed to investigate the changes in the total polyphenolic content and antioxidant properties after subjecting Pink Rock Rose ( Cistus creticus ) leaves to three different drying procedures, including convection drying (CD) at 40, 50 and 60 °C; vacuum-microwave drying (VMD) at 240 W microwave power; and combined drying consisting of convective pre-drying at 50 °C followed by vacuum-microwave finish drying at 240 W microwave power (CPD-VMFD). The total polyphenolic content and antioxidant properties (DPPH, ABTS) of leaves subjected to these three drying methods were spectrophotometrically determined. The results show that convection drying at 40 °C and vacuum-microwave drying yielded dried leaves with the highest bioactive potential in terms of the total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity, with the highest and lowest values of final specific energy consumption, respectively. The lowest bioactive potential was found in a product dried at 60 °C, which can be attributed to the possible degradation or changes in polyphenol structures under high temperatures. During the combined treatment (CPD-VMFD), most of the moisture was efficiently removed from the raw material by CPD, whereas the time of drying was significantly reduced by the application of VMFD. Combined drying CPD-VMFD is most suitable for industrial applications as it produces dried leaves with a bioactive potential that is only slightly lower than that achieved with VMD while providing a high-throughput capacity relative to operating costs.

“…The genus Cistus includes species of medicinal plants with various biological properties 9,[33][34][35][36] . The therapeutic properties of the species Cistus monspeliensis have been demonstrated in vitro; they are due to the presence of active compounds such as polyphenols 33,37,38 . These phenolic compounds are essential for human nutrition and are of considerable interest because of their antioxidant properties 39,40 .…”

The aim of this study is the valorization of the Cistus monspeliensis plant, native to North of Morocco, as antioxidant and corrosion inhibitor. Firstly, the plant is extracted by maceration in a mixture of water/acetone solvents. Phytochemical tests are carried out on the extract obtained. The antioxidant power of Cistus monspeliensis extract is evaluated by two methods: the test of reduction of the free radical DPPH∙ (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) and that of Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization are used to study the anticorrosion effect of Cistus monspeliensis extract. The results showed that the extract, 27.6% yield, contains phenolic compounds in the form of flavonoids, hydrolysable and condensed tannins, saponins, reducing sugars and glycosides. This extract has an antioxidant capacity similar to that of ascorbic acid with an inhibition concentration of 0.077 mg/mL 0.102 mg/mL for DPPH and FRAP test, respectively. Tafel plots show that the extract is an excellent cathodic inhibitor. The maximum inhibition efficiency of 92 % was obtained with 0.25 g/L of the inhibitor at 298 k. The impedance plot is characterized by a single capacitive loop attributed to the charge transfer process. The results also showed that the inhibitor acts on the surface of the metal principally by adsorption, leading to the formation of a protective film limiting the corrosion of ordinary steel.
