“…B. anthelmintica , on the examination of macroscopy and microscopy, reveals the cells with abundantly thick walls, abundant coverage, sessile glandular trichomes, unicellular trichomes, aleurone granules, brown tannin content, and the presence of round to polygonal tracheids with stony cells showing pits [20] . Examination of the powder embedded in glycerol, stained with phloroglucinol, and concentrated HCl and subsequently observed under the microscope has revealed the presence of unicellular pointed trichomes, yellow collenchyma, sessile glandular trichomes, lignified fibers, brown testa, abundant oil globules, compact polygonal transparent endosperm cells, xylem vessels, etc [8,21,22] …”

Baccharoides anthelmintica (L.) Moench is a popular medicinal plant with a long history of use in several traditional remedies to cure a variety of diseases including; its effect on the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, metabolism, kidneys, gynecology, skin diseases, and general health. The present review aims to provide the latest, organized information on toxicological, pharmacological, phytochemical, and ethnomedicinal applications of Baccharoides anthelmintica. Several well‐known searchable websites like; Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus‐Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, Springer, and DOAJ, were used to empirically investigate the knowledge of this useful medicinal plant. Based on the previous studies, the pharmacological action of B. anthelmintica is due to various secondary metabolites including alkaloids, terpenoids, lignans, steroids, and other phytoconstituents. The focus of the present review is on the pharmacological importance, including antimicrobial, antiparasitic, antidiabetic, anticancer, anti‐HIV, antiosteoporotic action, antitoxic action, skin disorder, immunomodulatory activity, systemic infection, and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The review concluded that B. anthelmintica has several pharmacological activities, and hence, may be a good source for developing a lead molecule for the development of a new drug. More study is required to determine the pharmacokinetics, mechanism of action, long‐term toxicology testing, safe dosage, and possible interactions with other herbs.

“…Quality assurance for medicinal and aromatic plants, especially those not immediately harvested, poses significant challenges in maintaining consistent product quality. Without adequate control measures, there are often variations in the quality of herbal products [12]. These plants undergo physical, biological, and chemical changes during handling, processing, and storage, affecting their quality and nutritional content.…”

Medicinal and aromatic plants, such as wild garlic (Allium ursinum), are valuable sources of bioactive compounds in traditional and modern medicine. However, the challenges in cultivating wild garlic and its seasonality limit its availability primarily to early spring. To maintain the quality of wild garlic, effective postharvest practices are essential, considering the delicate nature of its leaves and their susceptibility to rapid decay. This study focuses on implementing eco-friendly postharvest practices to address the seasonality and perishability of wild garlic. Optimizing storage conditions and drying processes is essential for extending its shelf life and preserving bioactive components. Two postharvest approaches were evaluated, with vacuum packaging at 4 °C demonstrating the most effective preservation of sensory attributes and bioactive composition over a 9-day period. Additionally, different drying methods, including convective and vacuum drying at various temperatures, were investigated. When the best drying temperature was selected, the results revealed that convective drying is more efficient at preserving phenolic compounds in wild garlic leaves at 60 °C. Conversely, vacuum drying shows superior preservation of alliinase activity and total thiosulfinate content at 70 °C. Furthermore, this study explores the utilization of unused wild garlic, which is typically discarded as waste during storage. By employing suitable drying methods, this material can be preserved and provide a valuable source of phenolic compounds (7.17–10.12 g GAE/100 g) and thiosulfinate (9.35–12.72 mg AC/110 g) compounds for various extraction processes. Accordingly, this research presents significant implications for the integration of wild garlic into diverse industries, particularly in the fields of food and pharmaceutical sectors. The findings offer opportunities for sustainable utilization, economic benefits, and a more environmentally friendly and economically viable approach to wild garlic production and processing.
