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.

Micropropagation of Medicinal Plants

Eryngium foetidum L. is an important medicinal and aromatic plant of the family Apiaceae. The plant is extensively used in traditional medicine and for culinary purposes. The essential oil of the plant has very high economic value in both national and international markets due to its application in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and perfumery industries. The plant is generally propagated through seeds. However, due to low seed viability, the plant is restricted to certain regions, which in turn hinders the commercial application of the medicinal plant. Therefore, quick and mass multiplication of the plant is needed, which may be accomplished by micropropagation. This is necessary in order to satisfy the ever-increasing demand of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In this chapter, a variety of methods for micropropagation have been explained, each of which utilises a different component of the plant as an explant.
