“…Data from Ericaceae species is difficult to compare due to its environmental conditions. However, the results of phytochemical analysis obtained are in good agreement with data reported by some authors (Akkol et al, 2008;Harnafi et al, 2007), which have detected the presence of flavonoids, tannins, proanthocyanidins, coumarins on Ericaceae species.…”

The UV solar radiation accelerates skin aging, leading to loss of skin elasticity and decreasing the capacity of the skin to hold water, which are implicated in the formation of the most obvious sign of aging, skin wrinkling and related health problems in humans. Usually, synthetic sunscreens have been used to minimize these effects. However, some phenolic compounds present in plants play an important role as photoprotectors. The aim of this study was to explore the potential of three plants from Ericaceae family as UVA-UVB filters and its antioxidant capacity. Leaf extracts of B. aestuans, C. bracteata and C. pubescence showed an interesting broad-spectrum UVB/UVA absorption that was correlated with the antioxidant capacity (from 1.96E-04-3.75E-04 mg µmolG 1 DPPH), the TPC value (from 15.29-27.35 mg GAE gG 1 DS) and TAC value (0.36-3.31 mg C3GE gG 1 DS). According to these results, the three plants evaluated in this research could be considered as a potential source of natural compounds with UV absorption and antioxidant capacity.

“…The genus Erica L. is a member of the family Ericaceae and more than 800 species naturally grow in the world, mainly in the coastal areas of the Mediterranean Sea [1][2][3][4]. Erica species which are narrow-leaved and evergreen in winter have a wide variety of flower structures and colours.…”

This study reports the chemical composition of essential oils and in vitro antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities of essential oils, hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol, and butanol extracts of aerial, flower and leaves parts of Erica manipuliflora. GC and GC/MS analyses were used for identification of essential oils. Totals of 47 compounds were detected in the essential oils of aerial, flower and leaves parts accounting for 99.99%, 99.88% and 99.97%, respectively. The major components of the aerial, flower and leaves parts of essential oils were Germacren D (14.76%, 15.55% and 13.58%), tau-cadinol (7.53%, 4.11% and 8.96%), caryophyllene oxide (3.92%, 5.17% and 8.55%), βcaryophyllene (7.24%, 5.97% and 7.73%), and α-terpineol (6.85%, 6.14% and 4.18%), respectively. The essential oils of aerial (34.49%) and leaves (37.01%) parts consisted of mainly sesquiterpene hydrocarbons whereas essential oil of flower part (42.58%) included monoterpenoids. The essential oils and extracts were screened for their antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities. The results of activities showed that extracts possessed the highest antioxidant activity while essential oils had the highest anticholinesterase activity. This finding supposes that E. manipuliflora may be considered as valuable natural source with antioxidant and anticholinesterase properties for food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

“…The plants here studied belong to the Ericaceae family and are used in many countries to 65 treat several ailments, including digestive and urinary disorders, as well as wound healing 66 and disinfection (Akkol, et al, 2008;Harnafi, et al, 2007;Neves, et al, 2009). Aqueous 67 extracts from two species of this plant, Erica australis L. and Erica arborea L., were 68 previously studied by our group and were found to possess relatively high activities, 69 especially concerning the 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical (IC 50 of 60 70 µg/mL) (Nunes, et al, 2012 The extraction was carried in a Soxhlet device with Electrothermal heating mantles 125 (Electrothermal, Essex, UK), using 0.4 g of plant material and 60 mL of water or methanol.…”
