“…Let uss recall that Crocus sativus L. possesses various phytochemical properties that have been linked to its antibacterial activity; this activity has been attributed to the presence of compounds such as safranal and crocin [ 55 – 57 ], as well as flavonoids such as kaempferol, quercetin, and an isorhamnetin derivative [ 58 ]. These compounds are volatile or water-soluble, enabling them to easily reach contaminating microorganisms and contribute to their destruction [ 59 ].…”

The dried stigmas of Crocus sativus L. produce saffron, a precious spice used for its culinary and medicinal properties since ancient times, while its petals are considered the main by-product of saffron production. The present study aimed to comparatively evaluate the phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, and antibacterial activity of methanolic extracts of stigmas and petals of Crocus sativus L. from Taliouine. The polyphenol content was measured using the Folin–Ciocalteu method, the antioxidant activity was determined using the DPPH free radical scavenging method, and the well-diffusion method was used to assess antibacterial activity against seven pathogenic bacterial strains (Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, and Staphylococcus aureus). Furthermore, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the extracts was determined using the microdilution broth test. Our findings revealed that stigmas and petals contained phenolic compounds at the rate of 56.11 ± 4.70 and 64.73 ± 3.42 mg GAE/g, as well as DPPH radical scavenging capacity with IC50 of 1700 µg/ml and 430 µg/ml, respectively. Petal extract showed more effective antibacterial activity, with inhibition diameters ranging from 10.66 ± 0.57 to 22.00 ± 1.00 mm and MIC values ranging from 2.81 to 5.62 mg/ml, compared to the stigma extract, which displayed inhibition diameters from 10.00 ± 0.00 to 18.67 ± 0.76 mm and MIC from 2.81 to 11.25 mg/ml, against five of the seven bacterial strains tested, including S. aureus, E. coli, P. vulgaris, P. aeruginosa, and S. enterica. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the significance of these results. Thus, stigmas and petals of Crocus sativus L. might serve as a suitable source of natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agents for application in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

“…No inhibitory effect was detected with this method [33]. In another study, 9, 10, 12, 17, and 18 mm inhibition was determined against S. enteritidis, E. coli, S. aureus, B. anthracis, and Proteus, respectively, at G. elegans 750 μg/disc concentration [34].…”

Glaucium cappadocicum is an endemic plant in Turkey, but there have been no research on it. In this work, the total phenolic and flavonoid content of extracts made from this plant were measured. Additionally, their antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticholinesterase activities were assessed. The extracts' antioxidant properties were assessed using the DPPH and FRAP methods, their antibacterial effects were assessed using the disk diffusion method on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and their ability to inhibit cholinesterase activity was assessed using the Ellman method. In all biological activity assays, the alkaloid extract had the maximum activity. Alkaloid extract shown higher inhibition than the common inhibitor Tacrine in investigations on enzyme inhibition, in particular. All of these investigations demonstrate the potent anticholinesterase and antibacterial properties of Glaucium cappadocicum as well as its value as a good source of antioxidant system defense.

“…This may be ascribed to its significance and potential applications in other fields. Many studies have reported that every part of the saffron plant has important benefits [13][14][15][16]. This growing consciousness is resulting in expanded uses of saffron in pharmacology, pharmacy, food science and technology, agronomy, microbiology, and horticulture, among other uses.…”

Saffron, botanically known as Crocus sativus L ., is renowned as the world’s most expensive spice and has been utilized in various fields since ancient times. Extensive scientific research has been conducted on Crocus sativus (C. sativus) , focusing on its phytochemical composition, diverse applications, and biological activities. C. sativus phytochemicals consist mainly of three compounds, namely crocin, picrocrocin, and safranal, which are responsible for most of its properties. Saffron is rich in bioactive compounds, more than 150 of which have been isolated. Owing to its unique composition and properties, saffron is used in various fields, such as the food industry, perfumery, cosmetics, pharmaceutics, and medicine. However, the high economic value of saffron makes it susceptible to adulteration and various fraudulent practices. To deal with this issue, a number of methods and techniques have been developed to authenticate and determine adulterants in saffron. This paper presents a bibliometric study of saffron based on the Web of Science database, analyzing 3,735 studies published between 2000 and 2021. The study also examined author participation and collaboration networks among countries. Production, transformation, chemical composition, methods of adulteration detection, uses, and health properties of saffron are also discussed.
