Similar to the results, it was reported that the lavender EO has strong antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria such as B. subtilis, S. aureus and gram-negative bacteria including E. coli (Saeed et al 2023). Regarding Lactobacillus strains, it was observed that EO from cv.…”

Microbial spoilage is a common source of food spoilage, which occurs due to the action of microorganisms, which include moulds, yeasts, and bacteria (Amit et al. 2017). Preservation of food materials from degradation during production, storage and marketing is an important issue in the food industry (Tenore et al. 2011). Chemical food additives and preservatives are mostly considered safe, but several of them have negative and potentially life-threatening side effects (Gyawali and

“…compared to control, respectively, p < 0.001) (Figures 3 and 4). Previous studies reported that dihydroxyphenylalanine acts as an allelochemical involved in several stress response pathways, and constitutes a precursor of many secondary metabolites, e.g., alkaloids, catecholamines, and melanin (Soares et al 2014;Etemadi et al 2018;Yumoto et al 2022;Saeed et al 2023). The significantly impacted secondary metabolism of lavender plants in response to WD was also confirmed by pathway analysis showing secondary metabolite biosynthesis with the highest pathway impact score of 1 (Figure S1).…”

“…In this study, we found that the precursor of shikimic acid was significantly ( p < 0.05) decreased upon prolonged WD (86% and 91% less at 7DAW and 10DAR compared to control, respectively), whereas the aromatic amino acid dihydroxyphenylalanine dramatically accumulated (2.3 and 6.6 folds higher at 7DAW and 10DAR compared to control, respectively, p < 0.001) (Figures 3 and 4). Previous studies reported that dihydroxyphenylalanine acts as an allelochemical involved in several stress response pathways, and constitutes a precursor of many secondary metabolites, e.g., alkaloids, catecholamines, and melanin (Soares et al 2014; Etemadi et al 2018; Yumoto et al 2022; Saeed et al 2023).

Lavender plantation is globally expanded due to the increasing demand of its essential oil and its popularity as an ornamental species. However, lavender plantations, and consequently essential oil industries, are threatened by more frequent and severe drought episodes in a globally changing climate. Still little is known about the changes in the general metabolome, which provides the precursors of essential oil production, by extended drought events. Prolonged drought fundamentally results in yield losses and changing essential oil composition. In the present study, the general metabolome of a main cultivated lavender species (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) in response to water deprivation (WD) and re‐watering was analyzed to identify the metabolomics responses. We found prolonged WD resulted in significant accumulations of glucose, 1,6‐anhydro‐β‐D‐glucose, sucrose, melezitose and raffinose, but declines of allulose, β‐D‐allose, altrose, fructose and D‐cellobiose accompanied by decreased organic acids abundances. Amino acids and aromatic compounds of p‐coumaric acid, hydrocaffeic acid and caffeic acid significantly accumulated at prolonged WD, whereas aromatics of cis‐ferulic acid, taxifolin and two fatty acids (i.e., palmitic acid and stearic acid) significantly decreased. Prolonged WD also resulted in decreased abundances of polyols, particularly myo‐inositol, galactinol and arabitol. The altered metabolite profiles by prolonged WD were mostly not recovered after re‐watering, except for branched‐chain amino acids, proline, serine and threonine. Our study illustrates the complex changes of leaf primary and secondary metabolic processes of L. angustifolia by drought events and highlights the potential impact of these precursors of essential oil production on the lavender industry.

“…More over 200 tons of lavender oil are produced annually throughout the world. France, UK, and Bulgaria produce the majority of the world's lavender essential oil [14]. The use of lavender essential oil is issued safe designation by the Food and Drug Administration Regulatory Administration (21CFR182.20 2015).…”

Every year about 3/4th of the world’s population is suffering from insomnia and is the major reason for many health illness leading to mortality. Insomnia is also an economic burden to the people in both the direct and indirect ways. The general treatment of insomnia includes the powerful drugs and sleeping pills, which cause some side implications in human health and these treatments are also very costly. This review aims to highlight the effects of insomnia and treatment of insomnia by alternate ways i.e) non-medical ways, with additional effects to the human health and economically acceptable by all the classes of people.
