“…These findings are similar to the majority of previous investigations conducted in different regions of Morocco (El Alami et al 2016;El-Assri et al 2021;Jeddi et al 2021). They suggest that middle-and low-income families try to minimize expenditure on expensive medical examinations and symptomatic treatments, as reported by Hafsé et al (2015); and Chraibi et al (2018).…”

Background: For centuries, Moroccan population uses medicinal plants as a primary source of medication to treat different human ailments. However, few investigations have been carried out to properly document and preserve this traditional knowledge. Indeed, this ethnobotanical exploration aims to establish an exhaustive inventory of medicinal plants used by the population of Taounate for the treatment of different diseases.Methods: Ethnobotanical surveys were carried out with 500 participants distributed equally between different stations. The study participants were selected randomly and subjected to semi-structured interviews, conducted individually over four months from January to April 2023. The socio-demographic features were evaluated using percentages and frequencies in a simple descriptive statistical analysis. However, the ethnobotanical data involved the use of different methods, such as relative frequency of citation (RFC), family importance value (FIV) and plant part value (PPV). In addition, the data analysis was completed using hierarchical cluster analysis to reveal the similarity between plants and rank these plants based on indexes or frequency in treating diseases.Results: This ethnobotanical survey reported that 112 species of medicinal plants, belonging to 100 genera and 54 botanical families were used for curing a variety of illnesses. Among the 54 families reported, the most predominant are Lamiaceae, with 11 species and a FIV of 22.1%; followed by Apiaceae, with 7 species and a FIV of 1.9% and Asteraceae, with 6 species and a FIV of 8%. Based on hierarchical cluster analysis, Origanum compactum, Rosmarinus officinalis, Salvia officinalis, Pistacia lentiscus and Chenopodium ambrosioides (RFC= 0.366) had the highest values in FC and RFC indexes. Moreover, the heatmap indicates that these plants are primarily used for treating diseases related to the digestive tract (highest ICF values of 0.98). Furthermore, leaves are the most commonly used plant's part (63%), followed by stem (8%), roots (7%), flowers (5%) and fruit (4%); otherwise, decoction is the most common method (42%), followed by the use of powder (27%) and infusion (13%). The herbal preparation was mainly administered orally (75%). Conclusion:The current study highlights the widespread use of aromatic and medicinal plants in therapy among the Taounate population, forming an integral part of the traditional healing system. This research aims to enhance Moroccan traditional natural heritage while providing researchers with a valuable ethnobotanical database. The latter can serve as an essential resource for more profound research into phytochemistry and pharmacology.

“…This form of preparation can only be administered orally. This explains the high percentage of users of medicinal plants with antiviral interest by oral administration (Helali et al, 2020;Hamdi and Houari, 2020 ;Brahmi et al, 2022 ;Boutabia et al, 2011;Kouame et al, 2021;Chraibi et al, 2018).…”

The taxonomic diversity and the richness of the region of Seraidi (North-East Algeria) in medicinal plants, as well as the appearance of diseases of viral origin, in particular, the current pandemic of SARS-CoV-2, led us to the realization of an ethnobotanical survey of plants with antiviral interests. The survey was conducted based on a pre-established quiz, with 120 people from different categories of the population of Seraidi, with the aim of listing the medicinal plants used in the treatment of viral diseases and collecting as much information as possible on this subject. After analyzing, the information provided by the people interviewed, we listed 32 species belonging to 20 families, of which the Lamiaceae family is the most represented. Older women are the most affected by the use of plants; people without a higher intellectual level have the most knowledge about the use of plants with antiviral interest. The leaf is the most widely used organ, in the form of a decoction or infusion, administered orally.

“…Essential oils (EOs) extracted from aromatic and medicinal plants are well known for their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties (Burt, 2004). The aromatic and medicinal plants Mentha pulegium and Lavandula angustifolia are widely grown in Morocco and used in traditional medicine (Chraibi et al, 2018; Messaouadi Mousi et al, 2017). The antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of their EOs has been well demonstrated (Aitboulahsen, Zantar, Amin, et al, 2018; Messaouadi Mousi et al, 2017).…”

Plastic packaging has been widely criticized due to the environmental pollution it entails. Biopolymer‐based films could provide an interesting eco‐friendly alternative. This study aimed to investigate the effect of plasticizer type on the physicochemical and mechanical properties of gelatin, pectin, starch, gelatin/pectin, gelatin/starch, and starch/pectin‐based films. Films were prepared using the casting method. Among the six types of films studied, gelatin/pectin‐based film plasticized with sorbitol displayed the best functional properties. Tensile strength and elongation at break were 52.46 MPa and 19.80%; moisture content, water vapor permeability, and water resistance were 19.96%, 3.24 × 107 g s–1 m–1 Pa–1, and 19.96%, respectively. Mentha pulegium and Lavandula angustifolia essential oils were incorporated into the selected film and their effects on the film's characteristics were evaluated. The incorporation of essential oils resulted in films with enhanced antibacterial properties, lower water vapor permeability, and reduced mechanical properties. Practical applications Biopolymer‐based films have attracted widespread attention as an alternative to plastic packaging. In this study, we have demonstrated that gelatin/pectin‐based film plasticized with sorbitol at 30% displayed good mechanical and physicochemical properties. The incorporation of Mentha pulegium and Lavandula angustifolia essential oils into this matrix resulted in films with important antimicrobial activity and adequate mechanical and physicochemical characteristics. The selected combination could be used as bioactive packaging to preserve and prolong the shelf life of food.
