“…Interestingly, the DPPH test justified a significant difference (p = 0.045) only in the root samples. Nevertheless, our data did not support the findings of Fialova et al [2012] mentioning that in peppermint DPPH scavenging activity was two times higher in rhizomes than in leaves. Németh-Zámbori, É., Szabó, K., Rajhárt, P., Inotai, K., Seidler-Lozykowska, K., Radácsi, P. (2017) Although common thyme is considered as a drought tolerant species, biomass production of the C plants surpassed the S ones by more than 200%.…”

The reactions of lemon balm, marjoram, peppermint, thyme were investigated and compared in a pot experiment, adjusting 70% and 40% of soil water capacity (SWC). Biomass, total phenolic content (TPC), rosmarinic acid content (RA) and antioxidant capacity (FRAP, DPPH) of both the shoots and roots were measured. As an universal phenomenon the water stress (40% SWC) decreased the total biomass production of all species drastically. The highest increase was observed in the shoot mass of peppermint and lemon balm (decreased from 52.6 g•plant-1 to 11.3 g•plant-1 and from 236.8 g•plant-1 to 58 g•plant-1 , respectively). The reaction of marjoram was much more moderate. The accumulation level of TPC was accelerated in the aboveground parts of the studied species, universally. The reactions in the roots were less characteristic. The largest increase of TPC was measured in the shoots of lemon balm (from 359.015 mg GAE• g-1 d.w. up to 412.44 GAE•g-1 d.w.). The reaction of marjoram was the less characteristic in this respect, as well. The parallel changes of biomass and TPC level might allow the total phenolic content to function as an adequate marker in predicting the lack of appropriate water supply. RA content showed species characteristics. Thyme, marjoram and peppermint reacted by a significant elevation (by 23-127%) of the RA content to the lack of water. The highest proportions were accumulated in shoots of the stressed thyme plants (3.45% d.w.).

“…Moreover, they lack proper application in the food and pharmaceutical industry. Fialová et al researched the percentage content of total flavonoids and total hydroxycinnamic derivatives in methanol extracts of rhizomes of seven mint taxa [20]. They also compared the antioxidant activity of methanol extracts of rhizomes.…”

“…MVS had the lowest activity in DPPH (IC 50 39.48 µg/mL) as well as in ABTS (IC 50 40.87 µg/mL). The antioxidant activity of rosmarinic acid is known [20,27]; therefore, it was used as a positive control and showed strong scavenging activity in DPPH (IC 50 2.28 µg/mL) and in ABTS (IC 50 1.05 µg/mL). When we calculated total mass from quantitative analysis of polar phenolic compounds in Mentha rhizomes infusions, we found out that MVS (122.8 ± 1.25 µg/mL) has significantly lower mass content (p < 0.05, ANOVA/Bonferroni) compared to MPP (185.5 ± 9.91 µg/mL) or ML (171.8 ± 1.17 µg/mL).…”

Unlike its aerial parts, the underground parts of Mentha have so far been studied only marginally. By examining the polyphenolic fingerprint, the antioxidant efficacy and the mutual antioxidant behaviour of mixtures of mint rhizomes, our study presents a modest contribution to addressing this gap. Firstly, we examined the composition of the mint rhizomes: Mentha × piperita cv. ‘Perpeta’ (MPP), M. longifolia (ML), and M. × villosa cv. ‘Snežna’ (MVS). Our LC-MS-DAD analysis revealed the presence of ten compounds belonging to groups of phenolic acids and flavonoids, of which the rosmarinic acid (RA) and lithospermic were most strongly represented. Secondly, we evaluated the antioxidant activity of rhizome infusions by DPPH and ABTS and on NIH/3T3 cell lines by DCFH-DA. Thirdly, we determined, examined, and explained the mutual interactions of rhizome infusions mixtures. While most of the combinations acted additive, synergy was observed in ternary infusion mixtures. The synergic action was also detected in the combination of MPP rhizome infusion and RA in the DCFH-DA test. The combinations of mint rhizomes and rosmarinic acid displayed a high dose-reduction index. This leads to beneficial dose reduction at a given antioxidant effect level in mixtures, compared to the dose of the parts used alone. So far, the pharmaceutical and food industry has not used mint rhizomes in commercial products. Hence, our study draws attention to further applications of the Mentha rhizomes as a valuable alternative source of natural antioxidants.

“…The use of mints is mostly due to the presence of two groups of secondary metabolites: essential oil components (monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes) and phenolic compounds (flavonoids and phenolic acids) (Mimica-Dukic & Bozin, 2008). Less is known about peppermint rhizomes, which are produced in high quantity every year (Fialova et al, 2012). The aim of this study was to compare the leaves and rhizomes of peppermint from the side of phenolic compounds using Sykam HPLC-DAD connected with the Microsaic 4500 MiD ® mass spectrometer.…”

Peppermint belongs to one of most popular medicinal plants in pharmacy as well as in the food industry. Aim: For the conventional usage, the aerial part, especially leaves, is used. This investigation was aimed at the determination of phenolic compound in peppermint rhizomes infusion and the comparison with the phenolics in leaves infusions. Methods: For the separation and identification of the phenolic compounds, the Sykam HPLC-DAD connected with Microsaic 4500MiD®, a single quadrupole mass spectrometer, was used. Results: Three compounds in rhizomes and eight compounds in leaves were identified and quantified. In rhizomes, rosmarinic acid was determined as the main secondary metabolite, but its content was three times lower than that in leaves. Infusion of peppermint leaves was richer in flavonoids content with eriocitrin as a major phenolic compound. Conclusion: Rhizomes of peppermint may also be used as a potential source of rosmarinic acid and caffeic acid derivatives.
