Sustainable Use of Greek Herbs By-Products, as an Alternative Source of Biologically Active Ingredients for Innovative Products

Abstract: The processing of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) results in the production of a significant amount of plant by-products; herbal material of inferior quality and/or unusable plant parts that are not commercially exploitable. An extensive study of Greek native species was performed toward the production of innovative bioactive products using as raw materials the by-products obtained from the processing of cultivated MAPs. Origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum (oregano), Sideritis scardica (Greek mountain tea), Th… Show more

“…Compound 86 also gave characteristic fragments of m / z 145.02838 which correspond to a loss of apigenin and hexose unit [M−H−270−162] − and 413.0878 was produced by the loss of coumaroyl moiety [M−H−164] − , hence it was identified as apigenin-7-O-(6″-O-4-coumaroyl)-beta-glucoside (echinacin). Additionally, this compound was previously reported in S. scardica and S. raeseri [ 23 , 24 ].…”

“…Specifically, in mice, SS extracts have been shown to decrease soluble Aβ 1-42 and Aβ aggregation by enhancing the phagocytic microglia response of Aβ and inducing the expression of a-secretase ADAM10, which cleaves Aβ [36]. Here, we show that four SS extracts (SSDM, SSM, SSW1, and SSDE) can also reduce the cytotoxic activity of Aβ [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] , with SSW1 showing this potential in differentiated cells as well. In addition, for the first time, we present neuroprotectivity in SS extracts generated by using less-polar solvents, such as dichloromethane.…”

“…Sideritis scardica (SS), with the alias "mountain tea", is a medicinal, aromatic plant commonly used in Mediterranean countries to prepare medicinal herbal infusions. Mountain tea has a long tradition of usage in the Balkans ethnomedicine for treating the common cold and gastrointestinal disorders, while it is thought to maintain antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties [24][25][26]. Extracts derived from SS have high contents of flavonoids and phenolics, substances with many pharmacological effects, such as antioxidant, anticancer, and antiviral properties [27][28][29].…”

“…Compounds such as carvacrol in ORE and carvone in SPE were maintained in both the solid waste residues and the respective fortified breads at high levels, thus largely contributing in the total volatile compounds, >40% (Table 5) and providing to the fortified bread products the intense oregano and spearmint odor, respectively [57,58]. It is worth noting that thymoquinone was detected in high concentrations in fortified ORE breads, possibly due to the transformation of carvacrol to thymoquinone, as a result of the selective hydroxylation of the aromatic ring followed by its subsequent oxidation during baking [59].…”
