“…The Coriandrum sativum fruits and vegetative aerial parts’ accessions under study were cultivated in the experimental fields of Escola Superior Agrária de Elvas/Instituto Politécnico de Portalegre (ESAE/IPP), included in the plant breeding program developed with landraces collected in southern mainland Portugal [ 65 ], Table 1 . The Foeniculum vulgare fruit accessions analyzed in this work were maintained at Banco Português de Germoplasma Vegetal (BPGV)/Instituto Nacional de Investigação Agrária e Veterinária (INIAV).…”

Coriandrum sativum L. and Foeniculum vulgare Mill. are two aromatic and medicinal Apiaceae species commonly grown in Portugal, whose essential oils (EOs) are used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. The present study evaluated EOs isolated from the fruits and vegetative aerial parts (VAPs) of 11 samples of Coriandrum sativum L. and from the fruits of 19 samples of Foeniculum vulgare Mill. The plant material was grown in experimental fields, after collection from several regions of mainland Portugal. The EOs were isolated by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The coriander EOs analysis evidenced two main clusters, with the first containing the fruits’ EOs dominated by linalool (60–73%), γ-terpinene, and α-pinene and the second with the VAPs’ EOs, which showed 2-trans-decenal (37–63%) and n-decanal (13–30%) as the main compounds. The fennel EOs analysis revealed two well correlated clusters, the first dominated by estragole (34–76%) and fenchone (16–30%) and the other dominated by trans-anethole (37–56%) and fenchone (14–34%). The present data suggest coriander EOs’ chemical descriptors as linalool for the fruits’ EOs and 2-trans-decenal with n-decanal for the VAPs’ EOs. For the fennel fruit EOs, the putative descriptors were trans-anethole and estragole, with variable fenchone content. The gathered data reinforce the relevance of clarifying variability of these species’ EOs, particularly when considering aromatic and medicinal plants with such a wide range of applications.

“…The most interesting coriander features for the development of a new variety were fresh biomass yields, flavor, and late flowering. These findings were taken into account for the coriander breeding program, leading to the submission of four coriander varieties to the Portuguese National Varieties Catalogue in 2022 [ 30 ].…”

“…During 2002 and 2003, 28 semi-structured interviews were carried out throughout the Alentejo region ( Figure 1 ), with the goal of collecting coriander regional landraces and data on its ethnobotanical uses [ 29 , 30 , 31 ]. The survey questionnaire, included in Supplementary Materials Table S1 , was carried out within project Agro 34 [ 32 ].…”

“…Spices were consumed in small amounts, of which the most representative were Coriandrum sativum L. (coriander), Allium sativum L. (garlic), Vitis vinifera L. (vine, vinegar) and Mentha pulegium L. (pennyroyal) (Figure3). These surveys were also valuable for assessing the genetic erosion of the species[29] and the collection of germplasm to continue the ESAE/IPP coriander plant breeding program[30].The survey's results obtained in 2013 were like those from 2002-2003 regarding the main families and species used in traditional coriander recipes, supporting the key findings from Póvoa et al[27,31]. Açorda (with Triticum aestivum bread) appears as the most cited recipe, both in 2002/2003 surveys and 2013 surveys.…”

Coriander is a medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP) traditionally cultivated and used in Alentejo, Portugal. However, few publications are available about its ethnobotanical applications. Four independent ethnobotanical surveys were carried out: throughout the region (2002–2003), in three villages (2013), and in city markets (2007 and 2022). Coriander was the most common fresh cultivated MAP (75% of the total area) and also the most representative MAP fresh herb in city markets. The leaves, mostly, were used fresh or frozen or transformed in piso. Some of the recipes have agro-industrial potential, such as piso and aromatized olive oil. Coriander essential oils (EOs) were isolated by hydrodistillation from aerial parts with inflorescence emergence (APIs) and from fruits, and fatty acids (FA) by solvent extraction from the fruits. Gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis showed EOs dominated by n-decanal (21–24%), 2-trans-decenal (12–18%) and n-nonane (10–17%) in APIs, and linalool dominance (73–78%) in the fruits. Petroselinic acid (32–55%) was the dominant fatty acid. A literature survey on conventional and nonconventional extraction techniques showed a constancy in the dominant compounds isolated, highlighted piso as a home-made green-extraction procedure, but also reflected the relevance of coriander as a MAP with diverse industrial potential uses.
