“…A. millefolium L. growing wild in Turkey can improve colds, ulcer, and diarrhea. The other properties attributed to this species are diuretic, emmenagog, appetizer, carminative, and insecticidal features (Baytop, 1994;Honda et al, 1996;Tuzlacı and Erol, 1999;Sezik et al, 2001;Ezer and Arisan, 2006;Cakilcioglu et al, 2011). The traditional potential use of the herbal teas from these plant species have been mentioned in the treatment of flatulence and abdominal pain in Turkey (Saeidnia et al, 2011).…”

IntroductionTurkey has a rich floristic diversity and cultural heritage. Even though many scientific studies have explored the usage of wild plants for the purpose of treatment, foodstuff, or others, efforts carried out in this field are not adequate in documenting this kind of information because of the large surface area of the country and the richness of cultural heritage. In particular, factors such as increased migration from rural areas to urban areas, urbanization, increased coverage of health services, easier accessibility to transportation, and current improvements in technology have gradually reduced the need for ethnobotanical information. Consequently, due to insufficient documentation and the reluctance of new generations to convey such knowledge, this wealth of wisdom is vanishing day by day. Therefore, it would be useful to try various alternative ways and carry out similar studies so as to have access to these data.Folk medicine in the Black Sea region of Turkey has been investigated by several research groups

“…It is used as a folk medicine due to its polyphenol content and their antioxidant characteristics (Gulcin et al 2004;Yildiz et al 2008). According to many studies, nettle has been used as diuretic, hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory (Yarnell 1998), anti-rheumatic, and hypotensive (Ozyurt et al 2007;Riehemann et al 1999;Sezik et al 2001;Yildiz et al 2008). The anti-inflammatory characteristics, which come from mainly caffeic acid, malic acid, and chlorogenic acid (Yarnell 1998), are used for treatments of some allergic rhinitis (Pinelli et al 2008).…”

Comparison of microwave and ultrasound-assisted extraction techniques for leaching of phenolic compounds from nettle

In this study, extraction of phenolic compounds from nettle by microwave and ultrasound was studied. In both microwave and ultrasound-assisted extractions, effects of extraction time (5-20 min for microwave; 5-30 min for ultrasound) and solid to solvent ratio (1:10, 1:20, and 1:30 g/mL) on total phenolic content (TPC) were investigated. Effects of different powers (50 % and 80 %) were also studied for ultrasound-assisted extraction. In microwave-assisted extraction, the optimum TPC of the extracts (24.64±2.36 mg GAE/g dry material) was obtained in 10 min and at 1:30 solid to solvent ratio. For ultrasound-assisted extraction, the condition that gave the highest TPC (23.86±1.92 mg GAE/g dry material) was 30 min, 1:30 solid to solvent ratio, and 80 % power. Extracts obtained at the optimum conditions of microwave and ultrasound were compared in terms of TPC, antioxidant activity (AA) and concentration of phenolic acids with conventional extraction and maceration, respectively. Microwave reduced extraction time by 67 %. AA of extracts varied between 2.95±0.01 and 4.48±0.03 mg DPPH/g dry material among four methods. Major phenolic compounds were determined as naringenin and chlorogenic acid in nettle.
