“…The very fragrant, yellowish-white flowers are arranged in drooping, cymose clusters and appear in late spring to early summer. A detailed phytochemical profile of T. platyphyllos inflorescences revealed the presence of flavonoids, mainly quercetin glycosides (rutin, hyperosid, quercitrin, quercetin-3,7-di-O-rhamnoside, quercetin-rhamno-xyloside, and quercetin-3-O-gluco-7-O-rhamnoside) and kaempferol glycosides (astragalin, tilirosid, kaempferol- 3-O-gluco-7-O-rhamnoside, and kaempferol-3,7-di-O-rhamnoside) [ 171 ]. A high content of oligomeric and polymeric procyanidins, mainly composed of catechin and epicatechin building blocks such as prodelphinidin C and procyanidin B4, has been identified [ 172 ].…”

Edible flowers are becoming an essential component of people’s nutrition in the Mediterranean basin. In the last decades, many researchers also have focused their attention on the nutritional composition of the edible flowers, as well as their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, including studies on their safety issues. Despite the growing interest in the use of flowers in human nutrition, the ethnobotanical literature is lacking coverage of some important issues, particularly those which concern the use of flowers in the folk tradition. Only recently, a review regarding the contribution of 32 edible flowers to the Mediterranean diet was published. The aim of the present review is to document the plant lore regarding the wild and cultivated edible flowers consumed in the Mediterranean basin. Based on the 112 studies reviewed, we documented 251 taxa as being used in the Mediterranean basin as edible flowers. The plant species belong to 45 families and 141 genera. Asteraceae (54 taxa) is the most frequently cited family. Sambucus nigra L. is the most cited species. This study can be the basis for future research on the supposed bioactivity and toxicity of wild and cultivated flowers.

“…VOCs and essential oils in Tilia species were subject of several previous research (Buchbauer et al 1992;Toker et al 1999;Ahmadi et al 1999;Fitsiou et al 2007;Kelmendi et al 2020) mostly focused on the compounds found in the inflorescence. In presented research, the focus was put on the leaves, due to the fact that they last more than flowers which is notable for the use of this species in forest therapy.…”

It is considered that different plant organic compounds, known as phytoncides are creditable for positive effects of Forest therapy on human health. Ongoing pandemic has also put these compounds in research focus considering potential use for novel corona virus treatment. This research was conducted in order to examine the potential of Tilia cordata Mill. considering volatile organic compounds (VOCs) content for the use in Forest therapy. In order to determine qualitative and quantitative content of phytoncides, as well the variability among genotypes growing in the same environmental conditions, leaf samples from genotypes of T. cordata were collected from the Fruška gora (Serbia) during 2019. VOCs determined in fresh herbal material were analyzed by HeadspaceGC/MS and VOCs determined in essential oil were obtained by GC/MS. The results showed the presence of 17 different phytoncides (monoterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated monoterpenes, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated sesquiterpenes, aliphatic compounds and diterpenes) in all tested genotypes. According to the mean values of the obtained results, the most abundant classes of phytoncides among the examined genotypes were monoterpene hydrocarbons (87.05), followed by aliphatic compounds (36.59) and oxygenated sesquiterpenes (34.60). The highest coefficient of variation (CV) among phytoncide content in tested T. cordata genotypes has been observed within oxygenated monoterpenes (43.12%), sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (28.18%), and diterpenes (27.04%). Some individual monoterpene hydrocarbons, such as o-cymene (19.92%) and a-pinene (17.40%) had the highest CV in terms of its presence in analyzed genotypes. In addition, the principal component analysis (PCA) showed more notable clustering within the VOCs determined in essential oil in comparison to VOCs determined in fresh herbal material. Considering the phytoncide content detected in T. cordata leaves, this species has high potential for the use in human health improvement within Forest therapy.

“…In previous research, the essential oils of the inflorescences and leaves of T. platyphyllos were obtained from five different provinces in Kosovo. n-Heneicosane (3.59-13.50%), n-pentacosane (13.90-19.61%), n-nanocosane (1.49-13.98%), and n-nonanal (3.30-8.97%) were identified as the main components [10]. In the other research, tricosan (18,12%), heneicosan (10,06%), and pentacosan (6,08%) were found to be the main components of essential oil of T. platyphyllos linden blossoms [11].…”

Volatile compositions of Tilia platyphyllos Scop. infusions by headspace-solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME), antioxidant activity

2023

The genus Tilia (Tiliaceae) represents 45 species, of which six species are European. Tilia sp. are simple, cordate or deciduous trees with long, silicate shaped, 5-valve fruits and fragrant flowers. It is used as a medicinal tea in traditional medicine for colds, coughs, and hypertension and as an antioxidant. Within the scope of this research, Tilia platyphyllos Scop. in the culture form from Eskişehir was obtained, and infusions were prepared at different times (including 5 min., 10 min., 15 min., and 30 min., respectively). Headspace-solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to examine the volatile components in the infusion extracts. Major volatile compounds of infusion extracts determined as E)-β-ocimene (15.7-45.9%) and limonene (11.7-33.4%), respectively. Also, terpinolene (26.0%) were identified as the main compounds for 30 min infusion. After then, the infusion extracts were lyophilized, and the antioxidant activity of the infusion extracts were performed by DPPH· radical scavenging effect. It was determined that inhibition percentages were relatively high in the concentration range of 10-0.02 mg/mL (5.60-72.45%). Our first research was the chemical composition and biological activity of the time-dependent T. platyphyllos infusions.
