“…Compounds such as salbige A and salbige B which have been isolated from the aerial plant parts of the species exhibited antiproliferative activities, while pheophorbide possessed inhibitory activity against A549 and HepG2 cancer cells (Zhao et al, 2014). Dicaffeoylquinic acid derivatives and flavonoid glucosides have been attributed with several health promoting bioactivities due to their high antioxidant potency, including neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antiadipogenic, hepatoprotective, skin whitening, antihypelipidemic and antibacterial effects (Choi, Kang, & Hong, 2016;Essaidi et al, 2013;Kim, Jun, & Kim, 2014;Tuan et al, 2015). Moreover, Ksouri et al (2012) has reported biological effects such as hepatoprotective properties and inhibitory effects against oxidation-induced cellular damage, as well traditional medicinal uses against constipation, diabetes, obesity and cancer.…”

Background: Recent trends in the food science industry and consumers' preferences for diversified diets suggest the consumption of wild greens not only as diet complements but also as healthy and functional foods for targeted conditions, rendering its commercial cultivation of major importance in order to avoid irrational gathering and genetic erosion threats. The Mediterranean basin abounds in wild edible species which have been used for food and medicinal purposes by human throughout the centuries. Many of these species can be found near coastal areas and usually grow under saline conditions, while others can adapt in various harsh conditions including high salinity. Scope and approach: The aim of this review focuses on listing and describing the most important halophyte species that traditionally have been gathered by rural communities of the Mediterranean basin, while special interest will be given on their chemical composition and health promoting components. Cases of commercially cultivated halophytes will be also presented to highlight their potential as alternative cash crops, while results from in vitro and in vivo health effects will be presented. Key findings and conclusions: The recent literature has provided useful information regarding the potential of wild halophytes as promising ingredients in functional food products and/or as sources of bioactive compounds. However, further research is needed regarding the chemical characterization of these species under commercial cultivation practices, while further clinical and model trials have to be conducted to assess their long term bioactivity and elucidate potential toxic effects and regulations of safe consumption.

Glasswort (Salicornia herbacea L.) is an edible halophyte that grows in salt marshes. In the present study, antiand pro-oxidant activities and cytotoxic properties of glasswort were investigated. Solvent fractions, including fractions of hexane, ethylether (Fr.E), ethylacetate (Fr.EA), butanol and water, were prepared from a 70% methanol extract of glasswort aerial parts. Fr.EA contained the highest levels of total polyphenols and flavonoids, showing the strongest scavenging activities against DPPH and ABTS radicals, and nitrite. In addition Fr.EA showed the most potent cytotoxic effects on HCT-116 colon cancer cells and INT-407 normal intestinal cells, followed by Fr.E. Most fractions also decreased the level of reactive oxygen species in the treated cells, but generated H 2 O 2 in the medium. The cytotoxic activity of Fr.EA was more pronounced in the presence of ascorbic acid or N-acetylcysteine. These results indicate that the fractions from aerial parts of glasswort exhibit both anti-and pro-oxidant activities, and these activities modulate cytotoxic properties.
