“…Carnosic acid, together with carnosol (43) and rosmanol (44), are diterpenoids belonging to the metabolic pool of rosemary, responsible for most of its biological activities. In a recent survey of Sicilian R. officinalis, the ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts showed the presence of several polyphenols subdivided in organic (14), genkwanin (25), salvigenin (33), and diterpenes: carnosol (43), carnosic acid (49) and methyl carnosoate (50). Rosmarinic and carnosic acids were largely the main components contributing to the antioxidant properties of the extracts.…”

“…[56] O. vulgare is one of the main species of this genus and then the most studied, however, other minor species show interesting chemical composition associated with biological activities, for example a study of the chemical characterization and the evaluation of antimicrobial, enzyme inhibitory, and antioxidant activities of methanol and water extracts of Turkish O. onites has been recently reported. [424] In total 28 components belonging to polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, organic acids and esters have been identified: 3-O-(4-coumaroyl)quinic acid (16), acacetin (17), cirsimaritin (14), naringenin (9), tuberonic acid glucoside (18), ferulic acid (3), apigenin-7,4'-dimethyl ether (19), azelaic acid (20), baicalin (21), casticin (22), cirsiliol (11), dihydrorobinetin (23), gardenin B (24), genkwanin (25), isoferulic acid (26), kaempferol (27), nevadensin (28), oroxylin A 7-O-glucuronide (29), quercetin (30), rosmarinic acid methyl ester (31), sakuranetin (32) and salvigenin (33).…”

Lamiaceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants comprising about 250 genera and over 7,000 species. Most of the plants of this family are aromatic and therefore important source of essential oils. Lamiaceae are widely used as culinary herbs and reported as medicinal plants in several folk traditions. In the Mediterranean area oregano, sage, rosemary, thyme and lavender stand out for geographical diffusion and variety of uses. The aim of this review is to provide recent data dealing with the phytochemical and pharmacological studies, and the more recent applications of the essential oils and the non‐volatile phytocomplexes. This literature survey suggests how the deeper understanding of biomolecular processes in the health and food sectors as per as pest control bioremediation of cultural heritage, or interaction with human microbiome, fields, leads to the rediscovery and new potential applications of well‐known plants.

“…Lavandula species are native to the Mediterranean region but largely distributed and cultivated worldwide as aromatic and medicinal plants [101,102]. The essential oils extracted from Lavandula angustifolia and Lavandula latifolia are the most appreciated in pharmaceutical, perfume, and cosmetics industries, aromatherapy and phytotherapy, for their anxiolytic, sedative, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity [103].…”

The extensive and sometimes unregulated use of synthetic chemicals, such as drugs, preservatives, and pesticides, is posing big threats to global health, the environment, and food security. This has stimulated the research of new strategies to deal with bacterial infections in animals and humans and to eradicate pests. Plant extracts, particularly essential oils, have recently emerged as valid alternatives to synthetic drugs, due to their properties which include antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and insecticidal activity. This review discusses the current research on the use of electrospinning to encapsulate essential oils into polymeric nanofibres and achieve controlled release of these bioactive compounds, while protecting them from degradation. The works here analysed demonstrate that the electrospinning process is an effective strategy to preserve the properties of essential oils and create bioactive membranes for biomedical, pharmaceutical, and food packaging applications.

“…These compounds were selected based on their chemical diversity and because they are representative constituents of VOCs emitted from plants. [2] To separate the chemical profiles between species and cultivars, a Partial Least Square -Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) was performed with the plsda function of mixOmics R package (6-fold inner loop cross validation, 7-fold outer loop cross validation, and a 10-time permutation test), [43] after normalization by the clr function (Hotelling package). The compounds with a VIP (Variable Importance in Projection) score higher than 1 were considered.…”

A headspace solid‐phase microextraction (HS‐SPME) method combined with gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was developed and optimized for the extraction and the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from lavandin and fine lavender roots. Optimal parameters to extract volatile molecules from ground and intact roots were determined using a divinylbenzene‐carboxen‐polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS) coating fiber at 70 °C for 60 min. A total of 99 VOCs, including 40 monoterpenoids, 15 sesquiterpenoids, 1 diterpenoid and 2 coumarins were detected. The main compounds detected in lavandin roots were fenchol, borneol, and coumarin. Performances of the optimized SPME GC/MS method were evaluated via the comparison of VOC emissions between roots from different cultivars of fine lavender (7713 and maillette) and lavandin (abrial and grosso). Chemometric analysis, using partial least squares‐discriminant analysis (PLS‐DA), suggests fifteen significant features as potential discriminatory compounds. Among them, β‐phellandrene allows discrimination between lavender and lavandin varieties.
