“…The contradictions between harvesting years and contents of active ingredients have long been the primary issue for the industrial production of medicinal crops ( Saha and Basak, 2020 ; Wang et al, 2017 ). At present, the medicinal materials of S. baicalensis used in pharmaceutical industry are mostly collected from cultivation resources.…”

“…Each year India alone produces almost 6.0 million tons of aromatic spent residues (Rout, Nannaware, & Rajasekharan, 2015), which are converted into valueadded products such as compost, biochar, biofuel, biogas, biopesticides, etc. aiding in reducing CO 2 emission and proved remunerative to farmers (Saha & Basak, 2019). Distillation waste of Cymbopogon flexuosus L., Ocimum basilicum L. and Mentha arvensis L. has the potential for sorption of some heavy metals and dyes.…”

“…Non-conventional aromatic plants are in great demand worldwide. India has several aromatic plantbased traditional cottage industries and about 50 aromatic plants are sought after in trade and industries (Saha & Basak, 2019). Indian trade in the aromatic and medicinal products is estimated to be approximately 120 million US$ per annum.…”

“…Major constituents of the aromatic distillation biomass waste are cellulose (35%–40%), hemicellulose (25%–30%) and lignin (15%–20%) (Rout et al., 2015), therefore, can be recycled as an alternative source of commercial cellulose. Aromatic hydrosol contains appreciable amount of valuable oils and compounds, having fungitoxic, antibacterial, insecticidal, antioxidant, antiradical and anti‐acetylcholinesterase activities (Saha & Basak, 2019).…”

Essential oil bearing aromatic plants: Their potential for sequestering carbon in marginal soils of India

The current atmospheric CO 2 level is > 400 ppm, which needs to be reduced and C sequestration (CS) becomes imperative to achieve this. Growing aromatic biomass for CS in erosion vulnerable C deficit marginal soils could fetch environmental benefits. The unsuitable conventional cropping patterns on the marginal lands had accelerated wind and water erosion (Bhattacharyya et al., 2015). Marginal lands do not contribute to food production (Skevas, Swinton, & Hayden, 2014) and therefore, production of aromatic plants on them is unlikely to affect food and feed supplies. Utilization of aromatic plantbased residue for CS in the marginal soils and for the biofuel production provides economical profits to the farmers via adaptable cash crops.

“…In every year, a vast amount of plant is being produced and their wastes have been disposed of to nature rather than using them [1]. Utilization of these waste biomass has great potential due to not only their abundancy, and zero carbon emission [2] but also for their valuable ingredients.…”

Hazelnut shell is the primary byproduct of hazelnut industry which has the potential source of antioxidants, and phenolics with interest of pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. The main goal of this study is to determine effects of extraction method, extraction time, solvent type, solid to liquid ratio, and particle size on extraction yield, antioxidant capacity, and total phenolic content of waste hazelnut shell. The highest extraction yield was found as 15.4% by using methanol as solvent, in combined extraction for 16 h total extraction time. As for the best antioxidant capacity, 0.0508 mg TE mL-1 was observed by using methanol as a solvent in ultrasonic extraction, whereas the highest phenolic content was found as 0.188 mg GAE mL-1 by Soxhlet extraction with acetone for 8 h. After extraction of hazelnut shell waste, major components were found as oleic and palmitic acids for all solvent types according to GC-MS results.
