“…The compounds from EO described with antioxidant activity represent a relevant fraction of their chemical composition [ 46 ]. These components have been indicated as an interesting source for the development and discovery of new bioactive compounds with pharmaceutical and cosmetic application due to their anti-inflammatory [ 47 ], antibacterial [ 48 ], antifungal [ 49 , 50 ], repellent [ 51 , 52 ], antioxidant [ 53 , 54 , 55 ], and neuroprotective [ 56 ] properties, as well as cytotoxic activities against cancer cell lines [ 57 , 58 ]. In addition, EOs and their constituents have been investigated as an alternative additive in the food industry [ 44 , 59 ] in contrast to synthetic antioxidants, such as butylated hydroxytoluene, butylated hydroxyanisole, and propyl gallate, that have exhibited undesired effects to human health [ 60 , 61 ].…”

Spice plants have a great influence on world history. For centuries, different civilizations have used them to condiment the foods of kings and nobles and applied them as embalming preservatives, perfumes, cosmetics, and medicines in different regions of the world. In general, these plants have formed the basis of traditional medicine and some of their derived substances have been utilized to treat different human diseases. Essential oils (EOs) obtained from these plants have been also used as therapeutic agents and have shown supportive uses in remedial practices. The discovery and development of bioactive compounds from these natural products, based on their traditional uses, play an important role in developing the scientific evidence of their potential pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food applications. In the present review, using recent studies, we exhibit a general overview of the main aspects related to the importance of spice plants widely used in traditional medicine: Cinnamomum zeylanicum (true cinnamon), Mentha piperita (peppermint), Ocimum basilicum (basil), Origanum vulgare (oregano), Piper nigrum (black pepper), Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary), and Thymus vulgaris (thyme); and we discuss new findings of the bioactive compounds obtained from their EOs, their potential applications, as well as their molecular mechanisms of action, focusing on their antioxidant activity. We also exhibit the main in vitro methods applied to determine the antioxidant activities of these natural products.

“…Due to its wide occurrence all around the world, many different countries are also involved in the production of peppermint raw material and essential oil, including Germany, Russia, Italy, Bulgaria, Norway, Slovakia and Poland. Mentha piperita L. is known for its characteristic strong mint odor provided by menthol [ 37 , 38 ]. Previous studies of peppermint essential oils revealed their composition and therapeutic properties [ 39 , 40 , 41 ].…”

In this study, peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) and yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) were applied as natural fibrous fillers to create biocomposites containing substances of plant origin. The purpose of the work was to investigate the activity and effectiveness of selected plants as a material for the modification of natural rubber composites. This research was the first approach to examine the usefulness of peppermint, German chamomile and yarrow in the field of polymer technology. Dried and ground plant particles were subjected to Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV–Vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), goniometric measurements (contact angle) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The characterization of natural rubber composites filled with bio-additives was performed including rheometric measurements, FTIR, TGA, cross-linking density, mechanical properties and colour change after simulated aging processes. Composites filled with natural fillers showed improved barrier properties and mechanical strength. Moreover, an increase in the cross-linking density of the materials before and after the simulated aging processes, compared to the reference sample, was observed.

“…Moreover, its use as an antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-motion sickness, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic agent has also been reported . [9][10][11] Mentha viridis, commonly known as spearmint, has well known industrial importance. The leaves of the M. viridis are used as flavouring agent in culinary purposes including iced drinks and jellies 12 .…”

Many medicinal plants have been used to treat and prevent illnesses in Saudi Arabia. The present study aimed to investigate the chemical composition of Mentha viridis obtainedfrom Albaha region of Saudi Arabiaand evaluate its antimicrobial and antiproliferative potential. The extract was obtained from plant fresh material and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The antimicrobial and antiproliferative potential of the plant extract was analysed by performing four subsequent extracts: ethanol, petroleum ether, chloroform, and methanol. The GC-MS analysis showed carvone as a main component, as it comprised 64.82 % of the plant extract. In antimicrobial activity, methanol extract showed significant activityagainst Pseudomonas aeruginosa with zone of inhibition of 15 mm. The MTT assay showed thatpetroleum ether and chloroform extracts have moderate cytotoxic effect against MCF-7 breast cancer cell line with IC50 values of 193.23 μg/mL and 131.86 μg/mL, respectively. Chloroform extract also showed mild activity against HCT-116 colorectal cancer cell line with IC50value of 189.2 μg/mL. This study highlights the potential of M. viridis extracts as powerful bioactive phytochemicals with possible role in diseases and cancer therapy.
