“…Edible flowers are an emerging food class, in which producers are trying to satisfy frequent market demands (de Favari Tardivo & Meru, 2018;Fernandes et al, 2020). However, many factors such as seasonality and perishability affect the production of this segment (Fernandes et al, 2020).…”

“…Countries like Italy and France have projects for the development of flowers for human consumption (ANTEA, 2019). While in Florida, small producers are seeing good results with flower production, through distribution in local markets, gourmet restaurants and bars (de Favari Tardivo & Meru, 2018).…”

“…Among the contaminating agents present, the following were reported: the presence of Salmonella, insect infestations, rat droppings and the presence of unauthorized sulfites. Therefore, precautions must be taken to mitigate certain episodes in order to guarantee the production of safe food (de Favari Tardivo & Meru, 2018). Fornefeld et al (2017), mentioned that the conditions of different crops and processing, can enable the attack of microorganisms in flowers.…”

Background:The market for edible flowers has grown exponentially due to consumers demand. This has been motivated by the concern to include healthier foods in the daily diet, leading to a great interest in these natural matrices. However, and although the consumption of this type of matrices are popularly associated with health benefits, scientific studies are still scarce. The industry seeks to satisfy the consumers demands and, at the same time, seeks to launch new challenges in the sector, in order to outline new conservation and production strategies. Although there are several flowers with edible potential in nature, many are still little explored or unnoticed, so this type of study is increasingly sought after. Scope and approach: The present review intendeds to explore the context of edible flowers as well as their conditions of production and consumption. Then, focusing on the characterization of the genus Impatiens, which, although is still little explored, gathers data on its chemical and nutritional characterization, bioactivities, and the possible exploration of natural pigments and industrial application. Key findings and conclusions: Several studies have been focused on the chemical characterization of flowers, evaluation their edibility, as well as validating their bioactive potential. In particular, the genus Impatiens is characterized by presenting perennial and succulent herbs with attractive colors, normally found in tropical forests. There are countless studies on the bioactive activities present in these edible flowers. In addition, its pigmentation has a direct relationship with the presence of several compounds, especially anthocyanins and their derivatives. These bioactive compounds have a great interest to the food industry and consumers, due to their diverse health benefits that are provided by their regular consumption.

“…Cooking with leaves gained more popularity not only for gastronomic intake but also for merging health benefits with the flavors of a variety of leaves. According to Motti [ 1 ], leaves are the plant organs most frequently used as vegetables in Italy and contain high concentrations of bioactive metabolites [ 2 ].…”

Valorization of a Waste Product of Edible Flowers: Volatile Characterization of Leaves

et al. 2022

(1) Background: The leaves of some plants are reported for their culinary uses, while in edible flowers, they are one of the discarded products in the supply chain. We investigated the volatile profile (VP) and the essential oil (EO) compositions of leaves from 12 Lamiaceae species, of which nine belong to the Mentheae tribe and three to the Ocimeae tribe. (2) Methods: Phytochemical analyses were performed using a GC-MS instrument. (3) Results: More than 53% of the Ocimeae tribe VP was represented by sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (SH), followed by phenylpropanoids, except for O. × citriodorum, where oxygenated monoterpenes (OM) were the second main class. OM prevailed in six species of the Mentheae tribe except for Agastache ‘Arcado Pink’, Salvia discolor, and S. microphylla, where SH dominated. The EO composition of Ocimeae tribe showed a similar behavior to that of VP concerning the predominant classes. O. basilicum ‘Blue Spice’ (Ob-BS) was an exception, since it showed oxygenated sesquiterpenes (OS: 29.6%) as a second principal class. Sesquiterpene compounds were also present in a high amount in two species of the Salviinae subtribe (S. microphylla and S. discolor) and two of the Nepetinae subtribe (Nepeta × faasenii and A. ‘Arcado Pink’). The remaining species of the Mentheae tribe were characterized by OM. (4) Conclusions: Many of the main compounds found were reported for their importance in human health and thus are important as ingredients in several new industrial products.

“…(ARYA; KUMAR; GAUTAN, 2014) Ou seja, as flores comestíveis se tornaram importantes para a alimentação por causa de seus aspectos visuais, palatáveis e nutritivos, mas também por conta de suas propriedades medicinais, tornando-se "alimentos funcionais". (TARDIVO; MERU, 2018) Evidencia-se nessas pesquisas um esforço que deriva de um modo de pensar e agir no qual predomina a visão hegemônica da Biomedicina, que privilegia os aspectos biológicos do ato de comer (BOSI; PRADO, 2011), e chama a atenção para a predominância da concepção relativa à alimentação saudável orientada por uma ideia de saúde reduzida à busca de cura ou prevenção de doenças. (KRAEMER et al, 2014) No entanto, vimos surgir alguns estudos sob a perspectiva do consumo explorados do ponto de vista do mercado (CHEN;WEI, 2017;KELLEY et al, 2001;RODRIGUES et al, 2017) ou sob perspectivas culturais.…”

Quando falamos em flores, usualmente remetemos a suas características ornamentais e, mais recentemente, no campo da Nutrição, aos seus aspectos nutricionais. Elas são consideradas um alimento com baixo valor energético e boa fonte de vitaminas, minerais e compostos bioativos.1 O presente trabalho é oriundo do projeto de tese ora intitulado "Flores na cozinha: sentidos e significados no consumo de flores comestíveis", desenvolvido no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Alimentação, Nutrição e Saúde, no Núcleo de Estudos sobre Cultura e Alimentação (Nectar) da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), e foi financiado pela Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Faperj), na modalidade bolsa auxílio para doutoramento.
