“…Chandrika et al [ 17 ] reported a higher DPPH radical activity (96.674% inhibition at 50 µg/mL, IC 50 value of 22.14) for the Indian E. foetidum leaf oil compared with the Nigerian leaf oil ( Table 1 ); however, the authors did not present the chemical profile of the leaf oil. Previous investigation on E. foetidum leaf oils from India revealed the occurrence of muurola-4,10(14)-diene-1-ol (10.2%), hexahydrofarnesylacetone (5.5%), palmitic acid (4.6%) and phytol (4.9%) which were not identified in the Nigerian samples [ 25 ].…”

Background: Eryngium foetidum essential oils from Nigeria were investigated for the first time in order to ascertain their potency as natural antioxidants. E. foetidum is an aromatic and medicinal herb used in ethno-medicine and as a traditional spice for foods. Methods: The hydro-distilled oils of E. foetidum were subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Free radical scavenging capacity of the volatile oils was determined using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. Results: Leaf volatile oil contained a high proportion of (E)-2-Dodecenal (28.43%), 13-tetradecenal (27.45%), dodecanal (14.59%) and 2,4,5-trimethylbenzaldehyde (10.77%); the stem oil comprised of dodecanal (20.21%), 2,4,5-trimethylbenzaldehyde (18.43%) and (E)-2-dodecenal (8.27%), while 2,4,5-trimethylbenzaldehyde (56.08%), 13-tetradecenal (9.26%) and (E)-2-dodecenal (7.65%) were the most dominant in the root oil. The IC50 values for the leaf, stem and root oils were 56 µg/mL, 46µg/mL and 54.5 µg/mL respectively in the DPPH assay while the leaf oil exhibited the highest reducing potential among the test oils in the FRAP assay. Conclusions: The Nigerian E. foetidum volatile oils contain high amount of acyclic aldehydes and aromatic compounds. The oils are a potential source of natural antioxidant as demonstrated by their strong antioxidant activity.

“…The essential oils of 36 Eryngium species have already been studied and the sample oils can be divided into two main chemical compositions according to their main components. The first group is characterized by oxygenated compounds including sesquiterpenes such as γ ‐cadinen‐15‐al, spathulenol, sesquicineole, α ‐bisabolol, and cis ‐chrysanthenyl acetate, as well as nonterpenic compounds such as trimethylbenzaldehyde, ( E )‐2‐dodecenal, linear acids, and polyacetylenes . The second group includes sample oils with terpenic hydrocarbon compounds such as germacrene D, bicyclogermacrene, γ ‐muurolene, and trans ‐caryophyllene …”

The chemical composition, antibacterial and antioxidant activities of the essential oil obtained from Eryngium triquetrum from Algeria were studied. The chemical composition of sample oils from 25 locations was investigated using GC-FID and GC/MS. Twenty-four components representing always more than 87% were identified in essential oils from total aerial parts of plants, stems, flowers and roots. Falcarinol is highly dominant in the essential oil from the roots (95.5%). The relative abundance of falcarinol in the aerial parts correlates with the phenological stages of the plant. Aerial parts of E. triquetrum produce an essential oil dominated by falcarinol during the early flowering stage, and then there is a decrease in falcarinol and rebalancing of octanal during the flowering stage. To our knowledge, the present study is the first report of the chemical composition of E. triquetrum essential oil. Evaluation of the antibacterial activity by means of the paper disc diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration assays, showed a moderate efficiency of E. triquetrum essential oil. Using the DPPH method, the interesting antioxidant activity of E. triquetrum essential oil was established. These activities could be attributed to the dominance of falcarinol. The outcome of our literature search on the occurrence of falcarinol in essential oils suggests that E. triquetrum from Algeria could be considered as a possible source of natural falcarinol.

“…Note that the chemical composition of the chicory leaf and root is similar, because Chandrika et al [ 58 ], Thomas et al [ 1 ], and Rodrigues et al [ 5 ] identified (2E)-2-dodecenal in the leaves and roots of E . foetidum , in addition to 13-tetradecenal, trans -2-tetradecenal, 2,3,4-trimethylbenzaldehyde [ 5 ], 2,4,5-trimethylbenzaldehyde, dodecanal [ 1 ], 1, trimethylbenzaldehyde, τ -cadinol, and α -cadinol [ 58 ].…”

Eryngiumfoetidum L. is popularly known as chicória-do-Pará, is native to the Amazon region, and is widely distributed in Northern Brazil. It is considered a versatile species due to its diversified uses in ethnomedicine, gastronomy, and pharmaceutical industry. The objective of this study was to review the literature on the traditional uses, chemical composition, and pharmacological activities of E. foetidum based on information published in national and international scientific articles between the years 2011 and 2021. Literature searches were performed with the combination of the expressions “Eryngium foetidum L.,” “chicória-do-Pará,” “traditional uses,” “ethnobotany,” “volatile compounds,” and “essential oil.” The species is widely used as a flavoring condiment in beans, meat, duck, and fish, and in the preparation of tucupi (cassava sap), showing to have great importance for the Amazonian food culture. In traditional medicine, it has analgesic, antibacterial, antiflu, and antipyretic applications. The chemical profile is characterized by the presence of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, mainly (2E)-2-dodecenal in leaves and 2,3,4-trimethylbenzaldehyde in roots, in addition to fixed compounds such as carotenoids, flavonoids, and phenols. These compounds have shown diverse biological activities and potential antibacterial, anthelmintic, and antioxidant applications, confirming their potential for use in folk medicine. Therefore, it is inferred that this aromatic plant has vast potential uses and is an important alternative as a natural resource for the food and pharmaceutical industries in view of its antioxidant capacity and bioactive compounds.
