“…Concerning with the production technologies, technology transfer and innovation, the following topics have become increasingly interesting and attract quite considerable attention of researchers working in the MAPs industry: distillation of MAPs for extraction of essential oils (Munir et al, 2014), production of MAPs on the farm with solar distillation system (Munir and Hensel, 2010), the impact of technological processing and vaccination on the antioxidant capacity of MAPs from harvest to packaging (Giao, Pereira, Pintado & Malcata, 2013), the effect of heavy metals on secondary metabolite biosynthesis, oxidative status and phytoextraction in MAPs in polluted environment (Lajayer, Ghorbanpour and Nikabadi, 2017), Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) as a nondestructive technique in MAPs industry (Kiani, van Ruth and Minaei, 2018), establishing the global volatile profile of commercial virgin olive oil and virgin olive oils flavoured with MAPs (garlic, rosemary, oregano and thyme), using two various analytical methods, liquid-liquid microextraction (LLME) and headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) mixed with gas chromatography-quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-qMS) (Perestrelo, Silva, Silva & Câmara, 2017), the effect of intercropping of MAPs with organic approach on resource use efficiency in arecanut based intercropping system (Sujatha, Bhat, Kannan & Balasimha, 2011), epigenetic and epigenomic regulations in MAPs (Hao and Xiao, 2018), the growth of cultivated crops, irrigation, fertilization and plant protection; washing, cooling, cutting, distillation, steam, irradiation, drying, fumigation, sorting, packaging and storage after harvesting (Maikhuri et al, 2017;Novak, 2014;Sharma and Kala, 2018), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy, signal processing with sensors and advanced data processing algorithms (Kiani, Minaei & Ghasemi-Varnamkhasti, 2016), use of synthetic insecticides such as organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids and neonicotinoids in the protection of MAPs (Gahukar, 2018), the seasonal effect of MAPs on the polyphenolic composite of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties (Piccolella, Crescente, Pacifico & Pacifico, 2018) (Overwalle, 2006). Therefore, some arrangements have been made in this framework in the development of commercial relations in MAPs industry (European Commission and TRAFFIC, 2013).…”
