“…For instance, in the EU, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) requires the analysis of insecticides such as dimethoate, deltamethrin, and imidacloprid in olive oil [52]. Reviews by Tascone et al [13] and Nikolic et al [53] discussed pesticide residues in natural cosmetic ingredients (extracts, absolutes, and essential oils) and attributed the sources of contamination to raw materials and environmental conditions (soil, rainfall, and processing equipment). A synthesis of over 225,000 datasets of pesticides in essential oils revealed that cold-pressed oils have a higher probability of pesticide contamination than distilled oils [54].…”

Consumer preferences, safety, and sustainability aspects of conventional cosmetic ingredients have contributed to an increase in the demand for natural cosmetic ingredients and products. Naturally derived active cosmetic agents and excipients may come into contact with various naturally occurring and synthetic contaminants throughout the supply chain, and substantiating their safety is essential. This review examines the safety and legislative requirements applicable to natural cosmetic ingredients in the European Union (EU). Cosmetic safety requirements include technical data based on the ingredient profile, presence of hazards and the risks associated with the intended conditions of use. The hazard analysis includes screening for microbial contaminants such as aerobic mesophilic bacteria, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans; chemical contaminants such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury; and naturally occurring toxins, such as allergens. The toxicological assessment considers both local effects (such as skin sensitisation, eye/skin irritation, and photo-induced effects) and systemic effects (including acute dermal toxicity, sub-acute and sub-chronic toxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, and toxicokinetics). The EU legislative requirements prohibit the use of animal-based tests for the toxicological evaluation of cosmetic ingredients, paving the way for alternatives termed as New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). The validation of NAMs is critical for their wider usage, and despite advancements, few have been validated, particularly for systemic toxicity testing. The use of NAMs in evaluating the safety of complex natural cosmetic ingredients is further examined.

“…Organophosphorus and organochlorine pesticide residues were found in citrus EOs, especially those produced by cold-pressing and conventional agriculture practice, albeit with a concentration lower than 1 mg L −1 . Tebuconazole and propiconazole co-distillated in peppermint EO with a different degree depending on the vapour pressure [ 289 ]. Cymoxanyl, dimethoate, and tebuconazole residues exceeded the maximum residue level set by the European Union in thyme samples from Poland [ 288 ].…”

The increasing demand for natural, safe, and sustainable food preservation methods drove research towards the use of plant antimicrobials as an alternative to synthetic preservatives. This review article comprehensively discussed the potential applications of plant extracts, essential oils, and their compounds as antimicrobial agents in the food industry. The antimicrobial properties of several plant-derived substances against foodborne pathogens and spoilage microorganisms, along with their modes of action, factors affecting their efficacy, and potential negative sensory impacts, were presented. The review highlighted the synergistic or additive effects displayed by combinations of plant antimicrobials, as well as the successful integration of plant extracts with food technologies ensuring an improved hurdle effect, which can enhance food safety and shelf life. The review likewise emphasized the need for further research in fields such as mode of action, optimized formulations, sensory properties, safety assessment, regulatory aspects, eco-friendly production methods, and consumer education. By addressing these gaps, plant antimicrobials can pave the way for more effective, safe, and sustainable food preservation strategies in the future.

“…These volatiles are the mixtures of several compounds, which are divided mainly in two groups of terpenes (by the coupling of isoprene units) and aromatics (derived from phenylpropane) constituents (Bakkali et al, 2008, Bajpai & Baek, 2016. Along with widely applications of essential oils in the pharmaceutical and perfume industries (Che & Zhang, 2019), their potential in the management of major agricultural pests has also been demonstrated in the recent years (Nikolic et al, 2018, Singh & Pandey, 2018, Gaire et al, 2019.…”

The lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.), and the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), are among broad-based damaging insect pests of agricultural stored products. Because of several side-effects of conventional chemical insecticides to the human health, non-target organisms, and environment, searching for and introducing healthy, inexpensive, accessible and efficient agents is necessary. In the present study, chemical profiles and fumigant toxicity of the essential oils isolated from L. citriodora against R. dominica and T. castaneum were evaluated. Chemical compositions of L. citriodora essential oils from two different Iranian regions including Germi and Parsabad was evaluated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and it was found that the terpenic compounds such as caryophyllene oxide, citral, limonene, and neral has the high amount in both oil. Some components such as sabinene, sulcatone, and β-ocimene were only identified in the essential oil from Germi region while some others such as verbenone, camphor, borneol with considerable amount in Parsabad region had not any trace in Germi' origin essential oil. The results of bioassays showed that the essential oils of L. citriodora from both regions had significant fumigant toxicity against the adults of R. dominica and T. castaneum. In general, essential oils' concentrations and exposure times had direct positive effects on the observed mortality. According to the results of present study, the terpene rich L. citriodora essential oils from two Iranian regions (Germi and Parsabad) have a high potential for the management of R. dominica and T. castaneum.
