The pine (Pinus L.) is the largest and most heteromorphic plant genus of the pine family (Pinaceae Lindl.), which grows almost exclusively in the northern hemisphere. The demand for plant-based remedies, supplements and functional food is growing worldwide. Although pine-based products are widely available in many parts of the world, they are almost absent as food ingredients. The literature shows the beneficial effects of pine preparations on human health. Despite the wide geographical distribution of pine trees in the natural environment, there are very few data in the literature on the widespread use of pine in food technology. This study aims to present, characterise and evaluate the content of phytochemicals in pine trees, including shoots, bark and conifer needles, as well as to summarise the available data on their health-promoting and functional properties, and the potential of their use in food and the pharmaceutical industry to support health. Various species of pine tree contain different compositions of bioactive compounds. Regardless of the solvent, method, pine species and plant part used, all pine extracts contain a high number of polyphenols. Pine tree extracts exhibit several described biological activities that may be beneficial to human health. The available examples of the application of pine elements in food are promising. The reuse of residual pine elements is still limited compared to its potential. In this case, it is necessary to conduct more research to find and develop new products and applications of pine residues and by-products.

“…In addition, many efforts have been made to explore the use of EOs in the treatment of many infectious diseases that surpass pharmaceutical drugs (Irshad et al, 2019). Also called ethereal or volatile oils, they are used in applications in the pharmaceutical, medical and perfume industries (Silori et al, 2019).…”

“…Another important aspect is the fact that EOs have antiseptic properties, giving them an extensive range of bactericidal, fungicidal, and medicinal applications. Due to this, agriculture and the medical sector are, among others, greatly favored by the uses of the EO (Silori et al, 2019).…”

The herbal medicine market has grown considerably as an alternative currently used for the application of plants in the treatment of various diseases. In this environment, studies on the bioactivity of essential oils and the search for those that have antimicrobial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antioxidant properties and also oils that can inhibit key enzymes are highlighted. However, research on the use of plants in the pharmaceutical industry, chemical composition of native species and possible biological activities are still scarce. Therefore, studies for the knowledge of native species with therapeutic potential gain great relevance. This study carried out a review of the research already done on essential oils from species with potentially promising biological activities for the contribution of the sustainable use of biodiversity and the relevance of their medicinal potential.

“…It is produced for commercial purposes by catalytic isomerization of α-pinene. It is used as a food and fragrance supplement (Silori et al 2019). Caryophyllene is a natural sesquiterpene found in medicinal plants and is used as an antirheumatic and analgesic (Mesquita et al 2019).…”

“…In general, usually two to three components are dominant with 20-70% representation (Bakkali, Averbeck, Averbeck, & Idaomar 2008). The scientific community has so far tested about 3000 essential oils, about 300 of which have commercial use (Silori, Kushwaha, & Kumar 2019). Owing to their antiseptic properties, essential oils have found wide bactericidal, fungicidal and medicinal applications, and are also used in the process of food preservation (Bakkali et al 2008).…”

The quality of the essential oil obtained from white pine wood greenery from the territory of the Republic of Srpska was analyzed by examining the chemical composi- tion and antimicrobial activity of samples produced by the hydro-distillation process in industrial production conditions. The chemical composition of the essential oil was analyzed by GC/MS and GC/FID analysis. The antimicrobial activity of the ob- tained white pine oil was investigated for its possible use as an antimicrobial agent. The obtained results prove the presence of 37 components in the analyzed sam- ple, which represents 98.5% of the total components present. The most common are monoterpene hydrocarbons, followed by sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, much less represented are monoterpenes containing oxygen and aromatic compounds, while aliphatic esters are found only in traces. Antimicrobial activity was examined using the disk diffusion method. The results showed large zones of inhibition, both for the tested oil sample and for all eight analyzed bacterial strains (from 12.00 ± 0.00 to 17.33 ± 1.15mm), as well as for the fungal strain. The chemical composition and antimicrobial action of essential white pine oiled from plant material originating from the territory of the Republic of Srpska indicates its significant phytomedical potential.
