Peppermint (Mentha × piperita L) is a perennial, glabrous and strongly scented herb belongs to the family Lamiaceae. It is cultivated in a temperate region of Europe, Asia, United States, India and Mediterranean countries due to their commercial value and distinct aroma. In addition to traditional food flavouring uses, M. × piperita is well recognized for their traditional use to treat fever, cold, digestive, anti‐viral, anti‐fungal and oral mucosa and throat inflammation. The scientific studies provide awareness on the use of M. × piperita for biological effects such as anti‐oxidant, anti‐microbial, anti‐viral, anti‐inflammatory, biopesticidal, larvicidal, anticancer, radioprotective effect, genotoxicity and anti‐diabetic activity have been ascribed. A wide spectrum of bioactive phytochemicals such as flavonoids, phenolics lignans and stilbenes and essential oils are expected to be responsible for the aroma effects. In this sense, this present review provides an extensive overview of the traditional medicinal, phytochemical and multiple biological activities of this “Peppermint.”

“…Mentha × piperita L. is a cultivated natural hybrid of Mentha aquatica L. (water mint) and Mentha spicata L. (spearmint), both native species of the Mediterranean region. M. Piperita is cultivated worldwide because its EO has antioxidant and antimicrobial activities and is used as eco-friendly pesticide [ 24 , 25 ]. Likewise, the phytotoxic activity of M. piperita EO has been demonstrated in several studies [ 26 , 27 ].…”

Essential oils (EOs), extracted from aromatic plants, have been proposed as candidates to develop natural herbicides. This study aimed to evaluate the herbicidal potential of Thymbra capitata (L.) Cav., Mentha × piperita L. and Santolina chamaecyparissus L. essential oils (EOs) on Avena fatua L., Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv, Portulaca oleracea L. and Amaranthus retroflexus L. and their effects on soil microorganisms. A pot experiment was set up and three EOs at three doses were applied by irrigation. Efficacy and effects of EOs on weed growth were determined. Soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen, microbial respiration, and the main microbial groups were determined at days 7, 28 and 56. EOs demonstrated herbicidal activity, increasing their toxicity with the dose. T. capitata was the most effective against all weeds at the maximum dose. P. oleracea was the most resistant weed. Soil microorganisms, after a transient upheaval period induced by the addition of EOs, recovered their initial function and biomass. T. capitata EO at the highest dose did not allow soil microorganisms to recover their initial functionality. EOs exhibited great potential as natural herbicides but the optimum dose of application must be identified to control weeds and not negatively affect soil microorganisms.

“…In addition, spearmint essential oil has economic relevance due to its use in perfumery, confectionary, cosmetics and pharmaceutical preparations. The fresh and dried spearmint leaves have been used as a flavoring agent in various food products, including cheese and dough (Iranian yoghurt drink), chocolate, beverages, jellies, syrups, candies, ice creams, and chewing gum [32].…”

Introduction. Representatives of the Lamiaceae family are widely used in the food industry as they are characterized by a high content of aromatic compounds. Materials and methods. It was evaluated the chemical composition and antibacterial activity of essential oils of garden thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), spearmint (Mentha spicata L.), and sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.). Results and discussion. The percentage ratio of volatile components obtained by GC-MS analysis of essential oil from garden thyme contains: thymol (37.90%) and γ-terpinene (19.44%). It has been determined eucalyptol (19.89%) and camphor (16.86%) in the essential oil of rosemary and carvone (50.23%) and limonene (13.90%) in spearmint oil, respectively. The differences in the quantitative and qualitative composition of essential oils and their aromatic components in relation to the previous researches may be probably due to different environmental and genetic factors, different chemotypes and the nutritional status of the plants as well as other factors that can influence the oil composition. Escherichia coli was the most susceptible bacterium strain. The essential oils of spearmint and rosemary possessed the most pronounced antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli (with inhibition zone: 32.00 mm and 30.00 mm). Conclusions. The results obtained provide a basis for a thorough examination of the chemical composition and antimicrobial properties of various representatives of Lamiaceae family with a view to a wide usage in food technology.
