Context: Satureja (Lamiaceae) species are used as flavoring compounds in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries because of its sweetness and simple cultivation characteristics. They have traditionally been used as muscle pain relievers, tonic, and carminative agents to treat stomach and intestinal disorders such as cramps, nausea, indigestion, and diarrhea, due to their considerable phytochemical characteristics. Objective: This review evaluates some information published since 1989 on Satureja genus from a systematic perspective in terms of its pharmacological and phytochemical characteristics. Materials and methods: Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases were searched up to March 2014. ''Satureja'' was used as a research term without narrowing or limiting research elements. After obtaining all reports from database (a total number is about 637), the papers were carefully analyzed in order to find data related to the topic of this review. Results: In this review, 453 reports were used which were published between 1989 and 2014. The study was compiled into two sections (Pharmacology and Phytochemistry). In the pharmacology section, more than 50 different activities were studied. In the second section, in addition to other compounds and inorganic substances, volatiles, phenolic acids, and flavonoids were discussed. Discussion and conclusion: According to our contemporary information, Satureja species have been evaluated for their wide range of biological activities. However, a small part of these studies have been carried out on the active principles. Therefore, in the future, more studies should be carried out to identify responsible phytochemicals for the various activities.

“…The treatment of obtained kinetic curves for the reaction of DPPH radical with EO and extract com ponents at different concentrations in model systems and the calculation of parameters that reflect the anti radical activity of essential oils and extracts, are given in detail in the paper [15].…”

“…The content of the most active antiradical components in an EO or extract was also calculated from the kinetic curves. This parameter is calculated based on the radical concentration corre sponding to completion of the first fast stage of the reaction of antioxidants in the sample with the radical [15]. The concentration of active components is cal culated in units equal to concentration of radical, because EO and extracts contain compounds with high antiradical activity that differ in structure and molecular characteristics, but their content, as a rule, is not completely established.…”

“…EOs of savory, oregano, clove, which contain phenols, and ginger extract manifested themselves in experiments in vivo as effective bioantioxidants; they improved the antiox idant and immune status of mice, increased their resis tance to radiation and carcinogens, and extended their lifespan [11][12][13][14]. Most EOs possess AO, antiviral, anticancer, anti inflammatory, and geroprotective activity and prevent the onset of cardiovascular dis eases [1,2,9,[14][15][16]. The findings point to the pros pects for further studies on herbal EOs and extracts as preventive and therapeutic agents for the treatment of various diseases.…”

The antiradical properties of essential oils and extracts from coriander seeds Coriandrum sativum L., cardamom fruits Elettaria cardamomum L., fruits of white and black pepper Piper nigrum L., and pods of red cayenne and green chili pepper Capsicum frutescens L. were studied in model reactions with the stable free 2,2 diphenyl 1 picrylhydrazyl radical. The essential oils consisted of mono and sesquiterpene hydrocar bons, alcohols, oxides and esters as the main components. Spice extracts contained flavonoids, di and tri terpenoids, phenolic acids, alkaloids and carotenoids.

“…The thymol and carvacrol types have sharp, warm and penetrating herbal (thyme type) odors, with woody, spicy and tobacco-like notes; thymol itself has a powerful, medicated and herbaceous odor while carvacrol itself has a tar-like odor [110]. The ratio of carvacrol to thymol in oregano, thyme and savory essential oils was 15:1, 1:19 and 1.8:1, respectively [111]. Oils containing predominantly thymol are generally considered of superior quality [112,113].…”

Essential oil (EO) is a mixture of low molecular weight constituents that are responsible for its characteristic aroma. These constituents include terpenoid and non-terpenoid hydrocarbons and their oxygenated derivatives. This chapter focuses on the heterogeneous composition of the essential oils. It discusses the usage of essential oil constituents as a key marker of the oil quality, freshness and unique characteristics. It describes the biological activity and synergistic effect of the essential oil constituents as antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer agents.
