“…Apiaceae plants are known for their production of aromatic compounds, particularly volatile oils, which contribute to their distinctive flavours and medicinal properties. These volatile oils are often rich in compounds such as terpenes, phenylpropanoids, and flavonoids, which have been extensively studied for their pharmacological activities ( Amiri and Joharchi, 2016 ; Bahmankar et al., 2019 ; Mohammadhosseini et al., 2019 ; Akaberi et al., 2020 ). Furthermore, Apiaceae plants have significant ethnobotanical importance, being traditionally used by various ethnic groups for culinary, medicinal, and ritualistic purposes, and several species are consumed as wild vegetables or spices due to their high nutritional and medicinal value ( Li et al., 2018 ).…”

IntroductionFerula is a traditional, edible, and important medicinal plant with high economic value. The distinction between edible and non-edible Ferula remains unclear.MethodsIn this study, headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) non-targeted metabolomics techniques were used to systematically and comprehensively analyse secondary metabolites in the leaves and roots of four species of Ferula, considering their edibility.ResultsA total of 166 leaf volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and 1,079 root metabolites were identified. Additionally, 42 potential VOCs and 62 differential root metabolites were screened to distinguish between edible and non-edible Ferula. Twelve volatile metabolites were specific to F. feurlaeoides, and eight compounds were specific to the three edible Ferula species. The results showed that compounds containing sulphur, aldehydes, and ketones, which produce pungent odours, were the primary sources of the strong odour of Ferula. The root differential metabolites include 13 categories, among which the high concentration group is organic acids, amino acids, terpenoids and fatty acids. The bioactive metabolites and VOCs in the roots exhibited species-specific characteristics. VOCs with various odors were linked to the distribution of root metabolites in both edible and non-edible Ferula plants. The screened root markers may contribute to the formation of characteristic VOCs.DiscussionThis study identified the difference in flavour between edible and non-edible Ferula plants and, for the first time, demonstrated the contribution of the efficacy of Ferula root to the unique flavour of the above-ground parts of Ferula. These results provide a theoretical basis for selecting Ferula for consumption and help evaluate the quality of different species of Ferula. Our findings may facilitate food processing and the further development of Ferula.

“…Several s tudies have inve s tigated the essential oil composition of D. anethifolia revealing that the long chain oxygenated hydrocarbons such as decanal, dodecanal, and decanol con s titute the major compounds in the essential oil. In addition, monoterpenes including α-pinene, α-thujene, linalool, cis-citronellyl acetate, and oxygenated sesquiterpenes such as chrysanthenyl acetate have been reported as the main con s tituents of the essential oil [7]. In Iranian traditional medicine, the aerial parts of D. anethifolia have been used to relieve various pains such as headaches, back pain, and colic pain.…”

Ducrosia anethifolia (Apiaceae) is a medicinal aromatic plant distributed in Iran and Afghanistan. This research aims to investigate the composition of the plant essential oil, determine the total flavonoid and phenolic contents, and evaluate its antioxidant activities after ethanol foliar feeding. For this purpose, 0, 10, 20, 40, and 80% v/v of aqueous ethanol solutions were sprayed on different batches of the plants. Then, the essential oils were obtained using water distillation. Compounds were analyzed by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technique(GC-MS) using a validated method. The method was validated as per the ICH guidelines for linearity, precision, accuracy, robustness, LOD, and LOQ. The total contents of phenols and flavonoids were measured using spectrophotometric methods. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH and FRAP assays. The results showed that n-decanal, cis-verbenyl acetate and dodecanal were the major compounds in all treatments. However, alcohol could cause significant differences in the essential oils qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed that 40% ethanol could increase the number of phenolics and flavonoids and consequently the antioxidant activity. Thus, ethanol foliar feeding can be used as an appropriate approach to increase the essential oil of D. anethifolia as well as its phenolic and flavonoid contents.
