“…With regard to the application of the different essential oils studied in this work, rosemary essential oil is the most widely used on the market due to its applications in the food and cosmetics industry [ 15 ], followed by rockrose in the cosmetics industry [ 16 ], and juniper in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries [ 17 ]. However, all the essential oils analyzed have proven properties, such as the high antibacterial activity of eucalyptus [ 18 ], the high antioxidant power of juniper (both berries and leaves) [ 19 , 20 ], the antimicrobial activity of pine oil [ 21 ], and the herbicidal activity of rockrose [ 22 ], and therefore, an effort should be made to make this source of natural products available on the market.…”

Increasing applications and markets for essential oils could bring new opportunities for cost-effective and sustainable management of unused forestry biomass; however, better knowledge of the production and application of such essential oils is necessary. The objective of this work is to contribute to greater knowledge of the essential oil production on a pilot scale from foliage biomass of wild shrubs and tree residues produced in some forestry enhancement operations and to study their antioxidant capacity (ORAC—oxygen radical absorbance capacity). Fresh biomass (twigs) of seven species (E. globulus, E. nitens, P. pinaster, P. sylvestris, R. officinalis, C. ladanifer, and J. communis) was manually collected in Spain in two different periods and was ground at 30 mm and distilled in a 30 L stainless steel still with saturated steam. The essential oil components were identified by GC–MS and quantified by GC–FID, and their antioxidant activity was determined with the ORAC method. Promising results on essential oil yield were obtained with E. globulus, E. nitens, R. officinalis, and J. communis. All essential oils studied exhibited antioxidant capacity by the ORAC assay, particularly that from C. ladanifer. Moreover, oxygenated sesquiterpenes contents, one of the minor components of oils, were significantly correlated with ORAC values.

Cistus ladanifer is a Mediterranean native plant from which valuable products, such as essential oil, are obtained. Manual harvesting of the plants in wild shrublands is usual during short periods of time. Their mechanised harvesting could increase the volume of harvested plants and prevent fires, further storage of the plants collected being necessary. The objective of this work is to study the influence of the storage period of mechanically harvested bales on the essential oil yield and qualitative composition. The harvesting trials were carried out with an adapted commercial harvester baler and the storage of the bales was performed indoors during 1–7 days, 15–30 days and 100–120 days. Afterwards, the bales were crushed (30 mm) and distilled in a 30 litre stainless steel still with saturated steam (0.5 bar). The essential oil components were identified by GC-MS and quantified by GC-FID. The storage of mechanically harvested Cistus ladanifer does not decrease the oil yield of steam distillation on a pilot scale. However, it leads to differences in the quantitative composition of the essential oils, decreasing the total monoterpene compounds content and increasing that of oxygenated sesquiterpenes, especially when the biomass is stored for 100–120 days, without affecting its qualitative composition.

“…In fact, they possess several pharmacological activities, such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitumor, analgesic, gastroprotective activities, as they contain many phytochemical ingredients such as cinnamic acid, cinnamaldehyde, cinnamate and several polyphenols for C verum and 1,8‐cineole and α‐terpinyl acetate for L nobilis 13‐15 . Cistus ladaniferus (Cistaceae) is a medicinal plant originated from the Mediterranean region and commonly known as rockrose 16,17 . This plant is an evergreen shrub that produces a resin, called labdanum, rich in valuable compounds used in cosmetic and fragrance industry due to aromatic and fixative properties 18 .…”

This study determined the chemical composition of Cinnamomum verum J.Presl, Cistus ladaniferus L., Laurus nobilis L., Senecio anteuphorbuim, Boswellia serrata Roxb. ex Colebr. and Schinus molle L. essential oils (EOs) by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry. Moreover, the six EOs were screened in order to reveal their antibacterial and antioxidant activities. They were initially tested against six pathogenic bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA: methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus), Escherichia coli (ESBL: extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases), Enterococcus faecalis (VRE: vancomycin‐resistant enterococcus), Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRK: carbapenem‐resistant klebsiella), clinical isolate Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. Then, the antioxidant effect was assessed by β‐carotene‐linoleic acid. Cinnamomum verum J.Presl, Cistus ladaniferus L. and Laurus nobilis L. exhibited the greatest antibacterial activity except Boswellia serrata Roxb. ex Colebr. oil. But this last one showed the highest antioxidant activity (85.75%) comparable to that of BHT (98.25%). The principal component analysis between the antibacterial activity and the twenty major components of six EOs revealed that α‐pinene, β‐pinene, 4‐carene, α‐phellandrene, 1,8‐cineole, linalool, 1,3,8‐p‐menthatriene, α‐terpineol, cinnamyl alcohol and cinnamaldehyde are responsible for their antibacterial activity against multi‐resistant strains. From this study, the results obtained show that the EOs may constitute an alternative to the emergence of multidrug‐resistant bacteria.
