“…Since these products had been on the marked for at least 1.5 years before they were discontinued, we must ask what consequences this may have had for consumers? Several species of carnation are mentioned in an ethno-medicinal context (Chandra & Rawat, 2015). Particularly in traditional Chinese medicine two species— D. chinensis and D. superbus —are widely used as Dianthi herba for the treatment of diuresis and strangury (Chinese Pharmacopoeia Commission, 2010).…”

BackgroundNames used in ingredient lists of food products are trivial and in their nature rarely precise. The most recent scientific interpretation of the term bamboo (Bambusoideae, Poaceae) comprises over 1,600 distinct species. In the European Union only few of these exotic species are well known sources for food ingredients (i.e., bamboo sprouts) and are thus not considered novel foods, which would require safety assessments before marketing of corresponding products. In contrast, the use of bamboo leaves and their taxonomic origin is mostly unclear. However, products containing bamboo leaves are currently marketed.MethodsWe analysed bamboo species and tea products containing bamboo leaves using anatomical leaf characters and DNA sequence data. To reduce taxonomic complexity associated with the term bamboo, we used a phylogenetic framework to trace the origin of DNA from commercially available bamboo leaves within the bambusoid subfamily. For authentication purposes, we introduced a simple PCR based test distinguishing genuine bamboo from other leaf components and assessed the diagnostic potential of rbcL and matK to resolve taxonomic entities within the bamboo subfamily and tribes.ResultsBased on anatomical and DNA data we were able to trace the taxonomic origin of bamboo leaves used in products to the genera Phyllostachys and Pseudosasa from the temperate “woody” bamboo tribe (Arundinarieae). Currently available rbcL and matK sequence data allow the character based diagnosis of 80% of represented bamboo genera. We detected adulteration by carnation in four of eight tea products and, after adapting our objectives, could trace the taxonomic origin of the adulterant to Dianthus chinensis (Caryophyllaceae), a well known traditional Chinese medicine with counter indications for pregnant women.

“…Dianthus barbatus essential oil (DbE) is a pharmaceutical‐decoration plant of the Carnation series and Caryophyllaceae family which is traditionally used in China, Japan, and Korea as traditional medicine. This plant has some effects such as anti‐inflammatory, anticancer, and antioxidant properties, improving physical, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti‐insecticide activities (Chandra & Rawat, ; Chandra, Rawat, Chandra, & Rastogi, ).…”

Edible films, as novel degradable materials in food packaging, play an important role in removing consumers' concerns about environmental pollution and food contaminations. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)–gelatin (G) edible films with the ratio 4 to 1 was selected as the optimal film based on physical, mechanical, and physicochemical findings. Then, the effects of 0, 300, 450, and 600 ppm Dianthus barbatus essential oil (DbE) on water vapor permeability, tensile strength, elongation at break, water solubility, glass transition temperature, color, oxygen permeability, and antimicrobial activities on the optimal film were investigated. CMC: G (4:1) containing 600 ppm DbE as the antibacterial–antioxidant film was the best formulae (p < .05) for preventing three types of aflatoxin‐producing mold including A. flavus (PTCC‐5004), A. parasiticus (PTCC‐5286), and A. parasiticus (PTCC‐5018) on pistachios for 6 months.

“…Such products are interesting due to the fact that they are from the source of natural origin [1]. Bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects of plant extracts are widely investigated and known [2]. Antiviral effects are also reported in the literature [3].…”

The application of natural products for treatment and prevention of various diseases is becoming more important. Not only antibacterial natural preparations are being developed, but also antiviral natural products are investigated. There are two main problems in such investigations: (i) special chemical analysis and data analysis methods have to be used, (ii) not only antiviral effect has to be taken into account, but also cytotoxic and other unwanted effects. In this work, a combination of separation methods (capillary electrophoresis and gas chromatography), spectrophotometric methods, data mining/data analysis methods (hierarchical clusterization, multidimensional scaling and classification and regression tree induction) for clarifying chemical attributes in cytotoxic plant extracts was applied. The selected plants belonged to families: (i) Lamiaceae, (ii) Asteraceae and (iii) Fabaceae. Most cytotoxic were Agastache foeniculum Pursh. Kuntze. and Salvia officinalis L. extracts. Least cytotoxic were Perilla frutescens L. and Satureja Montana L. extracts. The tendency of cytotoxic extracts having abundant concentrations of medium and low electrophoretic mobility cations was clarified.
