“…Traditionally, these plants are used fresh, dried, whole, chopped or ground, and are prepared from several plant parts such as bark (cinnamon), flowers (lavender), roots (ginger), fruits (pimento), fully ripe berries (white pepper) or leaves (rosemary) [1], being added to improve the flavor and taste of meals and substitute the excessive use of salt or fatty condiments [2] or used as herbal infusions, known for their attractive aroma and specific taste [3]. Beyond the culinary purposes, aromatic plants are also used in folk medicine as carminative agents against bronchitis and ulcers, as diuretics, depuratives and vermifuges, as also for their antiscorbutic, antispasmodic, tonic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic and anti-carcinogenic properties [4][5][6][7][8].…”
