AromaDb: A Database of Medicinal and Aromatic Plant’s Aroma Molecules With Phytochemistry and Therapeutic Potentials

Abstract: In traditional, herbal medicine, and aromatherapy, use of essential oils and their aroma compounds have been known since long, for the management of various human diseases. The essential oil is a mixture of highly complex, naturally occurring volatile aroma compounds synthesized by medicinal and aromatic plants as secondary metabolites. Essential oils widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, sanitary, food industry and agriculture for their antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, insecticidal, ant… Show more

“…EOs are mixtures of volatile aroma compounds synthesized by aromatic plants as secondary metabolites that are responsible for the attraction of pollinators, seed dispersers, and defense against pests or pathogens (Kumar et al, ). Numerous EOs possess antimicrobial activity, and they can enhance the effect of antibiotics in vitro (Bouhdid et al, ).…”

“…In recent years, there has been increasing interest worldwide in the use of alternative/herbal medicines for the prevention and treatment of various illnesses (3). Essential oils are widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, sanitary, food industry, and agriculture for their antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, insecticidal, anticancer, neuroprotective, psychophysiological, and anti-aging activities (1). However, much of the research into essential oils is still in its early state, and a systematic and rigorous approach to the study of biological activities of potential phytotherapeutics has only been initiated in recent decades.…”
