“…In the current study, the majority of the tested genotypes of C. maritimum had about 6.0-7.3 mg/g dw of TPC, a content slightly higher than that of other vegetables. Recently, Martins-Noguerol et al [35] found that the TPC content of rock samphire under optimum conditions was 6.1 mg/g dw, even though plants under field conditions exhibited a high phenolic content of 30.2-48.0 mg/g dw regardless of the variability of the contrasting habitats.…”

The traditionally edible aerial parts of rock samphire (Crithmum maritimum L.) could be a valuable functional food or feed ingredient due to their high antioxidant capacity, ascorbic acid content, and rich content in secondary metabolites such as phenolics and flavonoids. The first objective of this study was to evaluate eighteen genotypes derived from different regions of Greece regarding the phytochemical contents of their soluble extracts in total phenolics, total flavonoids, and individual polyphenols as determined by LC-MS analysis, as well as ascorbic acid content and their antioxidant capacity as determined by different assays, including ABTS (2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity), and FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) assays. The second objective of the study was the molecular characterization of native Greek C. maritimum genotypes. Great variation among genotypes was observed in terms of the antioxidant capacity, ascorbic acid content, and phenolic compounds (total phenolic content and total flavonoid content), as well as in caffeolquinic acids and flavonoids. The principal component analysis highlighted genotypes with a higher potential in antioxidants and polyphenolics. The most promising genotypes were G9 from Kefalonia, followed by G4 from Ikaria, where both clearly exhibited a similar response with high values of evaluated traits. The molecular characterization of genotypes revealed low variability and low to moderate genetic diversity between populations. Our data indicated that the rock samphire germplasm collection from the Balkan Botanic Garden of Kroussia could serve as an important source of documented genetic material and, thus, it is suggested for further investigation to provide insight regarding cultivation and agro-processing aspects, artificial selection, or plant breeding aimed at developing C. maritimum genotypes of high-bioactive value.

“…In another study, Labiad et al [101] determined the content of Mg, K, Na and Ca in sea fennel leaves and recorded the greatest values for K and Na. Moreover, in four wild populations of sea fennel collected from Spain, the greatest content recorded was of Fe (58.4-191.7 mg kg −1 dw), followed by Mn and Zn [99].…”

“…Othe compounds that were present in considerable amounts were kaempferol, hyperoside quercetrin and neochlorogenic acid [2]. In contrast, Martins-Noguerol et al [99] reported rutin and 5-caffeoyl quinic acid as the major compounds in the methanolic extracts of se fennel leaves. In a recent study by Chen et al [100], the partitioning of the methanoli extracts of sea fennel aerial parts allowed the identification of eight new flavonoid (various methoxyflavones).…”

“…The leaves of sea fennel are also a good source of amino acids. In a recent study, Martins-Noguerol et al [99] identified eleven amino acids in the leaves of the species, with leucine, lysine, valine, phenylalanine and threonine being detected in the highest amounts. The chemical structures of the major bioactive compounds are presented in Figure 4.…”

“…The chemical structures of the major bioactive compounds are presented in Figure 4. Sea fennel is also a valuable source of minerals [99,103], especially Na and Fe, which were the main minerals (14.7 and 8.5 g kg −1 WW (wet weight), respectively) in the wild plants collected from a coastal area in Spain, followed by Ca (5.9 g kg −1 WW) and K (4.2 g kg −1 WW) [102]. In another study, Labiad et al [101] determined the content of Mg, K, Na and Ca in sea fennel leaves and recorded the greatest values for K and Na.…”

Rock Samphire, a Candidate Crop for Saline Agriculture: Cropping Practices, Chemical Composition and Health Effects

et al. 2022

The recent market trends for functional healthy foods have rekindled the interest in wild edible species and created a market niche for high added value products. The current supply, mainly supported by plants collected from the wild, cannot meet increasing market needs; therefore, it is of major importance to establish cropping protocols and further valorize wild plants for culinary and industrial applications. Sea fennel is a wild edible halophyte that is an important ingredient in local cuisines and is also used in folk medicine for its beneficial health effects. Its valorization has not been commercially explored on a great scale and more efforts are needed to integrate the species in farming systems. The present review compiles the most recent reports regarding the farming practices that could allow for the establishment of cultivation protocols for farmers, while the main constraints that hinder the further exploitation of the species are also presented. Moreover, this review presents the most up-to-date information regarding the chemical composition (e.g., chemical composition of the aerial parts and volatile compounds in essential oils) and the health-related effects of various plant parts (e.g., antimicrobial, insecticidal and anticholinesterase activities) aiming to reveal possible alternative uses that will increase the added value of the species and will contribute to its commercial exploitation. Finally, the future remarks and the guidelines that have to be followed are also discussed.
