“…Recently, many studies have been carried out to re‐evaluate the chemical composition of endemic species of oregano in different countries such as O. compactum , endemic of Maghreb, O. ehrenbergii and O. libanoticum endemic of Lebanon, O. acutidens endemic of Turkey, and O. floribundum endemic of Algeria …”

Lamiaceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants comprising about 250 genera and over 7,000 species. Most of the plants of this family are aromatic and therefore important source of essential oils. Lamiaceae are widely used as culinary herbs and reported as medicinal plants in several folk traditions. In the Mediterranean area oregano, sage, rosemary, thyme and lavender stand out for geographical diffusion and variety of uses. The aim of this review is to provide recent data dealing with the phytochemical and pharmacological studies, and the more recent applications of the essential oils and the non‐volatile phytocomplexes. This literature survey suggests how the deeper understanding of biomolecular processes in the health and food sectors as per as pest control bioremediation of cultural heritage, or interaction with human microbiome, fields, leads to the rediscovery and new potential applications of well‐known plants.

“…In 2017 the market of personal-care products reached $12.19-billion, and further growth is foreseen (Grand view research, 2018). Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) are a natural source of chemical substances that provide diverse biological properties (Bouyahya, Guaouguaou, Dakka, & Bakri, 2017). That is why countries several countries (i.e.…”

Introduction: Lippia alba is an aromatic species belonging to the Verbenaceae family. Its essential oils have been used in different industries, because of its biological properties. Objective: Identify the perspectives of the biotechnological applications of Lippia alba essential oils. Methodology: A scoping review was conducted on the biological activity of Lippia alba essential oils registered until October, 2018 in EBSCO, Embase, Scopus, and Lilacs databases. Results: Chemotypes I and III have been reported for different biological activities from the evaluations performed on microorganisms, fish, arthropods, small mammals, and cell lines; fundamentally associated with antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic, antioxidant, and sedative effects, among others. Records focused mainly on the health, fishing industry, and agrifood sectors. Conclusion: Studies on the effect of essential oil are promising, but do not reflect a continuity of the research toward prototypes or finished commercial products. Research groups must unify evaluation methodologies and include in all studies the relationship between phytochemical and biological activity for the meta-analyses to be possible. Likewise, they must join efforts through the National System for Agricultural Innovation (SNIA, for the term in Spanish) to generate finished products that impact upon society and facilitate progress in the country’s bio-economy.

“…As a result of these initiatives, it has been recognized that medicinal plants and their by-products can contribute to the maintenance of human health, with a growing interest in recent years on the identification of biological activity, like the antimicrobial effect [6][7][8][9]. Some of these natural substances alter the regular functioning of microbial cells, whether at the level of membranes, molecular interactions such as proton motive force, electron flow and efflux pumps, or the enzymatic activity of some proteins like the dehydrogenases, affecting the synthesis of ATP [6,10] among other processes.…”

Dental plaque is a complex environment that maintains a balance with certain microbial communities; however, this microhabitat can be disturbed by some endogenous species causing disease. An exploratory systematic review was carried out using the PubMed, Scopus, Lilacs, and Science Direct databases, identifying that the thymol, menthol, and eucalyptol compounds present varying antimicrobial activity, intra- and interspecies discordance, and a strong antimicrobial intensity on Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Candida albicans, Candida dubliniensis, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Streptococcus mutans, indicating that these phytochemicals can be considered broad-spectrum antimicrobial substances, with an effect on microorganisms linked to oral diseases.
