“…Sage may also inhibit pro-oxidant-induced lipid peroxidation in rat brain and liver homogenates (Oboh and Henle, 2009). Further in vitro models showed Salvia as possibly being antiangiogenic, antimutagenic, antidiabetic, and gastroprotective (Lima et al, 2006; Mayer et al, 2009; Patenkovic et al, 2009; Keshavarz et al, 2010). Although the underlying mechanisms of action are unknown, polyphenols such as carnosol, carnosic acid, rosmanol, apigenin, hispidulin, caffeic acid, and ursolic acid have been discussed as active compounds for these pharmacological effects (Imanshahidi and Hosseinzadeh, 2006).…”

Sage (Salvia officinalis L.) is used as an herbal medicinal product, with the most typical form of application as infusion with boiling water (sage tea). The well-established traditional uses include symptomatic treatment of mild dyspeptic complaints, the treatment of inflammations in the mouth and the throat, and relief of excessive sweating and relief of minor skin inflammations. In this study, sage teas prepared from commercially available products were chemically analyzed for polyphenolic content using liquid chromatography, for antioxidant potential using the oxygen radical absorbance capacity method, and for the Folin–Ciocalteu (FC) index. The sage teas showed a high variation for all parameters studied (up to 20-fold differences for rosmarinic acid). Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the antioxidant potential, which varied between 0.4 and 1.8 mmol trolox equivalents/100 mL, was highly dependent on rosmarinic acid and its derivatives. The FC index also showed a high correlation to these polyphenols, and could therefore be used as a screening parameter for sage tea quality. The considerable differences in polyphenolic composition and antioxidant capacity between the brands lead to a demand for quality standardization, especially if these sage teas are to be used for therapeutic purposes. Further research also appears to be necessary to characterize the dose–benefit relationship, as sage may also contain a constituent (thujone) with potentially adverse effects.

“…Numerous biological activities of different extracts of Salvia and Ocimum species have been described, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, antidiarrheal, blood-sugar lowering, immunomodulatory, a nervous system stimulatory, spasmolytic, and cholinergic binding [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. Several reports also indicate antigenotoxic and chemopreventive activities of different extracts from Salvia and Ocimum species [41][42][43][44][45].…”

“…Sage essential oils have been studied for their toxicity and antimutagenic , antimicrobial , antiviral , preservative , immunomodulatory , antioxidant , larvicidal , and anticancer properties. However, a significant amount of terpenoids is also present in sage teas, contributing to their antioxidant , hepatotoxic , antimutagenic , and antidiabetic effects.…”

Comparison of different extraction methods for the determination of α- and β-thujone in sage (Salvia officinalis L.) herbal tea

et al. 2013

Salvia officinalis L. (sage) is an important industrial plant used both for food and pharmaceutical purposes. The terpene fraction of this plant is responsible for many of its therapeutic and culinary properties. We used different extraction methods Tenax TA® purge and trap, headspace (HS) solid-phase microextraction, HS sorptive extraction, and stir bar sorptive extraction to analyze the terpene fraction extracted from sage tea by GC-MS. Twenty compounds were identified, including α-, β-thujone, and several other oxygenated monoterpenes (1,8-cineole, linalool, camphor, boneol, and bornyl acetate) and oxygenated sesquiterpenes (caryophyllene oxide, viridiflorol, humulene epoxide I, II, and III). Tenax TA® and HS sorptive extraction extracted a lower number of identified compounds, whereas HS solid-phase microextraction allowed the complete extraction of volatiles with particular reference to α- and β-thujone. The importance of the determination of thujones content in sage herbal tea is also discussed.
