Medicinal and edible plants play a crucial role in the prevention and/or mitigation of different human diseases from ancient times to today. In folk medicine, there are different plants used for infectious disease treatment. During the past two decades, much attention has been paid to plants as novel alternative therapeutic agents for the treatment of infectious diseases due to their bioactive natural compounds such as phenol, flavonoids, tannins, etc. The genus Eryngium (Apiaceae) contains more than 250 flowering plant species, which are commonly used as edible and medicinal plants in different countries. In fact, some genus Eryngium species are used as spices and are cultivated throughout the world and others species are used for the treatment of hypertension, gastrointestinal problems, asthma, burns, fevers, diarrhea, malaria, etc. Phytochemical analysis has shown that genus Eryngium species are a rich source of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and triterpenoids. Moreover, eryngial, one the most important and major compounds of genus Eryngium plant essential oil, possesses a significant antibacterial effect. Thus, the objective of this review is to critically review the scientific literature on the phytochemical composition and antibacterial effects of the genus Eryngium plants. In addition, we provide some information about traditional uses, cultivation, as well as phytochemistry.

“…The Eryngium genus contains more than 250 flowering species worldwide (Pal a-Pa ul et al, 2005). Like the other members of Apiaceae family, the Eryngium genus plants have various culinary and/or medicinal uses (Singh, Ramakrishna, & Ngachan, 2014). E. caucasicum has been widely cultivated in some Asian countries such as Iran and Turkey.…”

The present study examined the effects of Allium paradoxum (M.B.) G. Don. and Eryngium caucasicum Trauve. extracts on the lipid oxidation and quality deterioration indices, microbiological as well as sensory characteristics in silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) fillets during storage at 4 °C ± 1. Treatments applied in the study including the following: control (without plant extracts), 2% and 4% (w/v) plant extracts. The addition of plant extracts significantly delayed oxidative deterioration in silver carp fillets during refrigerated storage as shown by the PV, TBARS, Acid Value and TVB‐N data (P < 0.05). The results also showed that natural compounds from A. paradoxum and E. caucasicum extracts resulted in lower bacterial growth in fish fillets during the refrigerated storage period. Comparing to the control samples, the psychrophilic bacterial counts (PTC) and total viable count (TVC) values for the E. caucasicum (2.0%) and E. caucasicum (4.0%), A. paradoxum (2.0%), A. paradoxum (4.0%) treatments were above the acceptability limit (7 log10 colony‐forming unit/g) at the end of 6, 9, 12, 9 and 15th day of storage, respectively. It was observed that addition of A. paradoxum at 4% to fish fillets increased its shelf‐life while the addition of E. caucasicum at 4.0% made a positive effect on sensory quality. These results suggested that A. paradoxum and E. caucasicum extracts have the potential to be used as natural preservatives for shelf‐life extension of fish products. Practical Applications The exploration of naturally occurring antimicrobials in food preservation receives increasing attention because of consumer awareness of natural food products. Biopreservatives are useful in extending the foods shelf‐life, reducing or eliminating pathogenic bacteria and increasing the overall quality of food products. In this work, we evaluated the effects of two natural extracts, from Allium paradoxum and Eryngium caucasicum, on the fish product quality, such as rancidity indices, microbiological and sensory qualities during refrigerated storage. To our knowledge, the application of A. paradoxum and E. caucasicum extracts in shelf‐life extension of fish product has not been studied previously. The present study showed that both E. caucasicum, A. paradoxum extracts, regarding to their antioxidant and antibacterial properties, could efficiently retard microbial growth, delay chemical deterioration, maintain or improve sensory attributes and extend the shelf‐life of the silver carp fillets during refrigerated storage.

“…From both the GC-MS chromatogram, it was revealed that methanolic leaves extract of E. communis was found to contain phytochemical namely stigmasterol (C29H48O), β-sitosterol (C29H50O), phytol (C20H40O) and N-hexadeconic acid (C16H32O2) while β-carotene (C40H56), β-sitosterol (C29H50O), phytol (C20H40O) and N-hexadeconic acid (C16H32O2) were detected in the inflorescence extract of E. communis. 16 Plant's phytochemical is known to elicit pharmacological effects in humans including reducing risk of and treatment for certain diseases. In the present study, methanolic leave extract of C. asiatica was found to contain some of the known and common phytochemical namely stigmasterol (C29H48O), βsitosterol (C29H50O), phytol (C20H40O) and N-hexadeconic acid (C16H32O2), while β-carotene (C40H56), β-sitosterol (C29H50O), phytol (C20H40O) and N-hexadeconic acid (C16H32O2), were detected in the inflorescence extract of E. communis.…”

“…Mizoram is a remote State in North-Eastern region of India bordering Myanmar and Bangladesh and lies in the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspots. The state has a rich diversity of ethnomedicinal plants and fruits and most of them are endemic to this region [15,16]. The tribal native of this region have a rich heritage about using plants in their folklore medicine in the treatment of various diseases like skin diseases, cancer, jaudince, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases etc.…”

Proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) were used to detect elements as well as phytochemicals in the Centella asiatica and Elsholtzia communis having possible roles for cardio-protections. Elements namely K, Cl, Ca, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu were present in varying concentration with notable concentration of K, Cl and Fe. Phytochemicals such as stigmasterol, β-sitosterol, phytol and N-hexadeconic acid were detected in the C. asiatica while E. communis was found to contain β-carotene, β-sitosterol, phytol and N-hexadeconic acid. The study reveals that these two ethnomedicinal herbs are found to contain elements and phytochemical known for their cardio-protective roles.
