“…In fact, it has been determined that the fruit oil extracted from P. lentiscus growing in different regions of Tunisia is rich in antioxidants agents namely tocopherol (α-tocopherol and δ-tocopherol) and carotenoid species (lutein, zeaxanthin and β-carotene) (Mezni et al. 2014 ). The quantification of total tocopherol in PLFO has shown that α-tocopherol is the major tocopherol fraction (Mezni et al.…”

“…The quantification of total tocopherol in PLFO has shown that α-tocopherol is the major tocopherol fraction (Mezni et al. 2014 ). Several previous studies demonstrated that α-tocopherol oral supplementation promotes the healing of chronic wounds (Gray 2003 ).…”

“…Further chemical investigations manifested the presence of the carotenoid in PLFO (varied from 5.8 to 10.57 mg/kg oil) especially β-carotene (Mezni et al. 2014 ). These components have been used as effective remedies for burn, frostbites, ulcers, skin cancers and various gynecological illnesses (Akulinin 1958 ).…”

Context: Since antiquity, Pistacia lentiscus L. (Anacardiaceae) fruit oil (PLFO) has been used as a remedy for primary health care such as burn treatment.Objective: This study assesses the healing effect of PLFO on CO2 laser fractional burn in a rat model.Materials and methods: The study was carried out on 18 adult male Wistar rats. A second-degree laser burn (wound area = 2.2 cm2) was inflicted in the dorsal region by the application of CO2 fractional laser within the following parameters; Energy level: 25 MJ and Depth level: 4. After applying laser, the rats were divided into three groups: the first was treated with saline solution, the second with a reference cream ‘CYTOL BASIC®’ (0.13 μg/mm2) and the third with PLFO (0.52 μL/mm2). All treatments were topically administered for eight days. The healing effect was assessed using macroscopic, histological and biochemical parameters.Results: After eight days, the higher percentage of wound healing contraction was observed among the PLFO-treated group (100%) followed by the ‘CYTOL BASIC®’ treated group (61.36%) and untreated group (32.27%). During the treatment, the PLFO-treated group showed less erythema, less crusting/scabbing, higher general wound appearance scores and a high content of collagen (220.67 ± 7.48 mg/g of tissue) than the other groups.Discussion and conclusion: The current study has shown, for the first time, the healing effect of PLFO on CO2 laser fractional burn. Their wound healing effect could be attributed to their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

“…The antioxidants described in the present study can explain the lower values of the autooxidation parameters. In fact, several researches reported that many vegetable oils were an important natural source of carotenoids such as Pistacia lentiscus that presented a value ranging between 5.8 and 10.57 mg/kg oil [27], but our studied oils have substantially higher amounts especially in fenugreek and sesame oils 56.78 mg/kg and 15.24 mg/kg, respectively. Carotenoids are the most important source of vitamin A.…”

Background. Medicinal plants have proved at all times to be a powerful remedy for health care. Accordingly, grape seed, sesame, and fenugreek extracted oils with pharmacological properties are investigated as wound treatments. This study assesses the potential of our oils for healing wounds induced on rats. Methods. Phytochemical analyses of oils have involved: quality value, polyphenol, chlorophylls, carotene, and fatty acids. Antibacterial activity was carried out. Antioxidant activity was evaluated: the scavenging effect on DPPH radicals, the reducing power, and β-carotene discoloration. Uniform wound excision was induced on rats dorsum randomly divided into five groups: groups treated with “CICAFLORA®” and tested oils and untreated one. The posthealing biopsies were histologically assessed. Results. Wound biopsies treated with oils showed the best tissue regeneration compared to control groups. Groups treated with our oils and “CICAFLORA” had higher wound contraction percentage. Polyunsaturated fatty acids in oils act as inflammatory mediators increasing neovascularization, extracellular remodeling, migration, and cell differentiation. Wound healing effect was attributed to antibacterial and antioxidant synergy. Conclusion. According to findings, oils showed better activity in wound healing compared to “CICAFLORA” due to a phytoconstituents synergy. However, clinical trials on humans are necessary to confirm efficacy on human pathology.

This study focused on the use of lentisk oil and honey as natural sources to formulate margarine with ameliorated quality and oxidative stability. For this, five margarines were formulated with honey and different concentrations of lentisk oil. Analyses were performed on oil and honey used, and then physicochemical characterization and several oxidative stability tests were applied to assess margarine quality. The results showed a significant richness of lentisk oil and honey in total phenolics and total flavonoids and expressed good antioxidant activities. As well as the evaluation of oxidative stability of enriched margarines during 3 months of storage demonstrated that margarine added with 2% lentisk oil (M1) had the best resistance properties and longer Rancimat induction time (22.26 h), better than the control and margarines added with 5% (M2), 10% (M3), and 15% (M4) lentisk oil. Globally, margarines prepared with high concentrations of lentisk oil (M2–M4) were not different from the control, whereas only M1 was permitted to ameliorate the stability of margarine with a slight influence on physicochemical parameters. The elaboration of margarine supplemented with 2% lentisk oil improves the properties of the product, which could then be applied to margarine manufacturing.
