“…It is composed of mainly volatile terpenes, with established distinct biological roles. Its unique composition accounts for the multiple uses of mastic oil and its constituents in food industry and healthcare [13,14]. Analysis of mastic oil preparation by GC/MS (Figure S1) identified several components with the most abundant ones being α-pinene (67.7%), myrcene (18.8%), and β-pinene (3.0%) (Table 1).…”

Effects of the Essential Oil from Pistacia lentiscus Var. chia on the Lateral Line System and the Gene Expression Profile of Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Mastic essential oil exhibits anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant properties. With the growing interest of the use of mastic oil in the food and pharmaceutical industry, systematic in vivo studies are needed to address controlled usage and safety issues. In the present work we evaluated the safety of mastic oil using as a model the zebrafish lateral line system. In addition, we studied the gene expression profile of zebrafish fed with mastic oil-supplemented diet using microarray analysis. Our results showed that the hair cells of lateral line neuromasts are functional upon exposure of zebrafish larvae up to 20 ppm of mastic essential oil, while treatment with higher concentrations, 100 and 200 ppm, resulted in increased larvae mortality. Dietary supplementation of zebrafish with mastic essential oil led to differential expression of interferon response-related genes as well as the immune responsive gene 1 (irg1) that links cellular metabolism with immune defense. Notably, mucin 5.2, a constituent of the mucus hydrogel that protects the host against invading pathogens, was up-regulated. Our in vivo work provides information concerning the safety of mastic essential oil use and suggests dietary effects on gene expression related with the physical and immunochemical properties of the gastrointestinal system.

“…The mastic gum essential oil is the product of the resin’s hydrodistillation and α -pinene is its major compound [13,14,15]. Several studies have reported on the anti-bacterial properties of the mastic essential oil against distinct bacterial strains, including E. coli , S. aureus, and B. subtilis [13,16].…”

“…Our consortium has extensively applied MS-based metabolic profiling to categorise foods such as wine, olive oil, olives, milk, apples grapes, Chios mastic and other foods. Authenticity studies regarding adulteration and geographical and varietal origin have been efficiently addressed by applying different MS-based screening strategies (target, suspect and non-target) [9,[27][28][29][30]95,96]. Hence, efficient classification and discrimination methodologies were developed regarding food samples of different variety, geographical/animal origin or agronomic background, by combining analytical information with advanced chemometrics [28,29].…”

The national infrastructure FoodOmicsGR_RI coordinates research efforts from eight Greek Universities and Research Centers in a network aiming to support research and development (R&D) in the agri-food sector. The goals of FoodOmicsGR_RI are the comprehensive in-depth characterization of foods using cutting-edge omics technologies and the support of dietary/nutrition studies. The network combines strong omics expertise with expert field/application scientists (food/nutrition sciences, plant protection/plant growth, animal husbandry, apiculture and 10 other fields). Human resources involve more than 60 staff scientists and more than 30 recruits. State-of-the-art technologies and instrumentation is available for the comprehensive mapping of the food composition and available genetic resources, the assessment of the distinct value of foods, and the effect of nutritional intervention on the metabolic profile of biological samples of consumers and animal models. The consortium has the know-how and expertise that covers the breadth of the Greek agri-food sector. Metabolomics teams have developed and implemented a variety of methods for profiling and quantitative analysis. The implementation plan includes the following research axes: development of a detailed database of Greek food constituents; exploitation of “omics” technologies to assess domestic agricultural biodiversity aiding authenticity-traceability control/certification of geographical/genetic origin; highlighting unique characteristics of Greek products with an emphasis on quality, sustainability and food safety; assessment of diet’s effect on health and well-being; creating added value from agri-food waste. FoodOmicsGR_RI develops new tools to evaluate the nutritional value of Greek foods, study the role of traditional foods and Greek functional foods in the prevention of chronic diseases and support health claims of Greek traditional products. FoodOmicsGR_RI provides access to state-of-the-art facilities, unique, well-characterised sample sets, obtained from precision/experimental farming/breeding (milk, honey, meat, olive oil and so forth) along with more than 20 complementary scientific disciplines. FoodOmicsGR_RI is open for collaboration with national and international stakeholders.

“…It has been widely used for its anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties . Previous studies demonstrated that dictamine, obacunone, β‐sitosterol, and lignin were the bioactive constituents of the aqueous and alcohol extracts of Cortex Dictamni. Furthermore, the essential oil of Cortex Dictamni (EOCD) proved to possess potential anticancer activity in modern studies.…”

“…Furthermore, the essential oil of Cortex Dictamni (EOCD) proved to possess potential anticancer activity in modern studies. Moreover, a large number of volatile components have been found in EOCD, including fraxinellone, linoleic acid, dodecanoic, elemol, α‐eudesmol, β‐eudesmol, calarene, and β‐maaliene . Nevertheless, there is no substantial evidence demonstrating the main effective ingredients of EOCD in vivo.…”

The root of Dictamnus dasycarpus Turcz., also known as Cortex Dictamni, is a Chinese herbal medicine that has been commonly used in the treatment of inflammation, microbial infection, cancer, and other diseases in China for thousands of years. Recently, the essential oil of Cortex Dictamni has been widely studied, and a large number of volatile constituents have been discovered. However, the research of the essential oil of Cortex Dictamni in vivo remains unknown, especially the constituents absorbed into blood after oral administration. Hence, a sensitive and rapid method using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry combined with MassHunter software and the National Institute of Standards and Technology 2014 database was used to investigate the absorbed components in rat serum after oral administration of the essential oil of Cortex Dictamni. With the established method, a total of 36 compounds were screened and identified in the essential oil of Cortex Dictamni based on the mass spectrometry data and compound database. Among them, eight compounds, elemol, thymol methyl ether, β-eudesmol, β-cyclocostunolid, guaiazulene, trans-4-hydroxystilbene, ethyl oleate, and monoelaidin, were tentatively characterized in rat serum. This work demonstrated that the established method proved to be a powerful technique for rapid, simple, reliable, and automated identification of bioactive components of herbal medicine.
