“…For this reason, essential oils (EOs) application in food preservation is of great interest. El Moussaoui et al (2016) observed a significant effect of Origanum elongatum essential oil, alone or in combination with heat treatment, on microbiological and chemical properties of pomegranate juice stored at 20 ℃ for 16 days. This activity depends on EOs composition and concentration.…”

“…Also, storage may cause sugars to break down and produce carboxylic intermediates that will react to form brown polymers (Robertson and Samaniego, 1986). Moreover, spoilage yeasts can produce ethanol and CO 2 from sugar (Bevilacqua et al, 2011). El Moussaoui et al (2016 reported a decrease in TSC during juice storage that may be explained by fermentation process.…”

This work studied the possible use of Thymbra capitata essential oil in the preservation of pomegranate juice qualities. We monitored the effect of the oil on the physicochemical and microbiological qualities of the juice during 245 days of storage at 5 and 20 ℃. Treated juices showed slight decrease of pH, total sugars and phenolic contents after 245 days of storage. Additionally, the essential oil had a significant effect on the juice microbiological quality and caused a decrease of bacterial count after the first day of storage. In conclusion, Thymbra capitata essential oil may be used as natural preservative in pomegranate juice to preserve its physicochemical and microbiological qualities in a long-term storage.

“…& Maire (Lamiaceae) is an interesting non-threatened MAP species which is used to treat several diseases, and exhibits various biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antiviral, antioxidant, vasodilator, corrosion inhibitor, and hepatoprotective effects [ 48 ]. In addition, the essential oil of this species could preserve nutritional and organoleptic qualities, and is therefore suitable for food and culinary preparations [ 49 ]. The toxicological investigations revealed the safety of use for O. elongatum as well as the hepatoprotection of its methanol extract against hepatotoxic products or drugs [ 50 ].…”

Medicinal-aromatic plants (MAPs) are important sources for the development of new valuable products of interest to human and animal health, and are also used as ornamentals for the horticulture industry. However, the increased global demand and the uncontrolled exploitation of these plants constitute a threat to their sustainability. To date, few scientific investigations have focused on MAPs valorization and their domestication. The purpose of this study was to evaluate for the first time the medicinal-cosmetic potential of 399 local endemic Mediterranean plants confined to Crete (223 taxa), the Mediterranean coast-Rif of Morocco (94), and Tunisia (82). The new methodological scheme was developed by experts through three multidisciplinary co-creative workshops and was adjusted by end-users to point-scoring of nine attributes evaluating the potential of the targeted neglected and underutilized plants (NUPs) in the medicinal-cosmetic sector. The results were demonstrated as percentage of the maximum possible score. These assessments were further linked and discussed with respect to feasibility and readiness timescale evaluations for sustainable exploitation of the focal NUPs. A great diversity of local endemic NUPs (30 taxa, 11 families) were associated with interesting medicinal-cosmetic properties (>35% up to 94.44%). Among them, 8 taxa showed the highest medicinal-cosmetic potential (>55% of maximum possible score), half of which are threatened with extinction. Although ex-situ conservation efforts and applied research work are needed to safeguard and unlock the full potential of the local endemic NUPs evaluated herein, the proposed multifaceted evaluation scheme revealed that some local endemic NUPs of the studied regions can be sustainably exploited in short- or medium-term, following successful examples of Cretan NUPs e.g., Origanum dictramnus. The sustainable exploitation of high scored taxa of the studied regions can be fastened through targeted species-specific research bridging extant research gaps and facilitating conservation and stakeholder attraction.
