Opopanax gum/gelatin nanofibre was produced by the electrospinning method, and the efficiency of this new technique for encapsulation of garlic essential oil was investigated. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy results showed the physical and weak interactions between opopanax gum and gelatin, as well as the improvement of their thermal stability in the nanofibres structure. Incorporating 10% garlic essential oil based on biopolymer weight in nanofibres was considered the best percentage. The results confirmed the presence of garlic essential oil in the nanofibres and the improvement of its thermal stability by entrapment to the nanofibre structure. The data of analysis of the stability of garlic essential oil in the forms of free and encapsulated conditions showed that its stability increased at 25°C from 20 days to more than 60 days. It indicated the efficiency of opopanax gum/gelatin nanofibres as an applicable coating material for stability enhancement of essential oils.

“…Cistaceae plants have gained high biological interest, both at the level of rapid colonization of burnt and poor agricultural areas, as well as revegetation of metal-polluted sites, and at the level of phytotoxic and symbiotic interactions with the ecosystem, which consequently highlights its relevant aromatic and pharmacological potential applications (Dias et al 2005;Martín-Pinto et al 2006;Papaefthimiou et al 2014;Santos et al 2016). This shrub produces a resin, called labdanum, rich in valuable compounds, which have been extracted in countries such as France, Spain and Portugal, mainly to be used in the perfume industry due to its fixative and aromatic properties (Moyler and Clery 1997). In Spain, C. ladanifer labdanum has been exported to some Arabic countries, where it is used as incense (Papaefthimiou et al 2014).…”

Cistus ladanifer has a well-defined taxonomic identity. 2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone may be an authenticity and taxonomic marker. Its traits and applications make it a possible economic resource fitted for Mediterranean areas. Cistus ladanifer is a dominant shrub species endemic to the western Mediterranean region. Due to its dominant nature and its potential ecological, aromatic or pharmacological applications, C. ladanifer has been the object of numerous studies. In this review current knowledge on different aspects of this species is summarized, from its taxonomy to its chemical characterisation or its competitive traits. There are no doubts about the taxonomic entity of C. ladanifer, although the recognition of infraspecific taxa deserves more attention. Given that the fragrant exudate of C. ladanifer holds a very specific composition, one species specific carotenoid, 2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone, derivative is proposed as an authenticity marker for uses of C. ladanifer in pharmacological or aromatic industries. Evidence is also gathered on the extreme adaptation of C. ladanifer to stressful conditions in the Mediterranean region, such as the ability to survive in low hydric and high solar exposition conditions, presistence in poor and contaminated soils, and growth inhibition of several other plants through the release of allelochemicals. Thus, the finding of potential applications for this plant may contribute to enhance the economic dimension of derelict lands, such as mine tailings or poor agricultural Mediterranean areas.

“…to add characteristic vanilla notes (Burdock, 1995;Burdock, 1997;Leung & Foster, 1996;Moyler, 1998). In fact, the warm, soft and sweet notes of natural vanilla are among the world's favourite scents and vanillin is a compound of high interest for the flavour industry.…”
