“…Medicinal plants represent a significant source of therapeutic remedies, being also the basis of traditional or indigenous healing systems, still widely used by the majority of populations in many countries [ 1 , 2 ]. Recently, the ethnopharmacological potentials of these plant matrices have received important consideration by both scientists and the pharmaceutical industry towards complementing or even replacing conventional pharmacotherapies [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ].…”

Genus Mentha, a member of Lamiaceae family, encompasses a series of species used on an industrial scale and with a well-described and developed culture process. Extracts of this genus are traditionally used as foods and are highly valued due to the presence of significant amounts of antioxidant phenolic compounds. Many essential oil chemotypes show distinct aromatic flavor conferred by different terpene proportions. Mint extracts and their derived essential oils exert notable effects against a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi or yeasts, tested both in vitro or in various food matrices. Their chemical compositions are well-known, which suggest and even prompt their safe use. In this review, genus Mentha plant cultivation, phytochemical analysis and even antimicrobial activity are carefully described. Also, in consideration of its natural origin, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, a special emphasis was given to mint-derived products as an interesting alternative to artificial preservatives towards establishing a wide range of applications for shelf-life extension of food ingredients and even foodstuffs. Mentha cultivation techniques markedly influence its phytochemical composition. Both extracts and essential oils display a broad spectrum of activity, closely related to its phytochemical composition. Therefore, industrial implementation of genus Mentha depends on its efficacy, safety and neutral taste.

Phoenix dactylifera. L. )date palm ( is one of the main fruits in North of Africa and Middle East. The date seeds are considered as wastes despite of their medicinal properties. Different seed preparations are used as expectorant, anti-diarrheic, hypoglycemic, tonic, and aphrodisiac agents. We established the anti-diabetic and anti-lipidemic activities of methanolic extracts of date seed in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Animals were divided in to 6 groups (each group contained six animals), comprising of control group and diabetic rats. Animals were treated with different amounts of extract. To assess the hypolipidemic, and anti-hyperglycemic activity, cholesterol serum levels, low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), creatinine, urea and alkaline phosphatase were measured in serum of the treated animals. The anti-diabetic potential was investigated through the levels of glucose and body weight. Moreover, to assess the extract's safety, acute toxicity test was performed. In comparison with control group, significant reductions were observed in LDL, cholesterol, as well as blood glucose levels in diabetic rats that received date seed extract. Extract supplemented diabetic rats also showed a better tolerance to glucose, as well as reduced amounts of creatinine, urea, and alkaline phosphatase in their serum samples. In addition, no toxicity (acute toxicity), was detected even after high dosage of extract administration. Our results confirmed the anti-lipidemic and anti-diabetic potentials of date seed methanolic extract in diabetic rats. AT and Sharifi-Rad J, 2019.

Plants are naturally God gifted for the synthesis of medicinal compound and provide a great help in a new discovery in the area of chemical diversity because of the unknown availability either as a standardized extract or as a pure compound. The medicinal plant Veronica biloba extracts obtained through Soxhlet and maceration methods were subjected to preliminary antimicrobial screening against pathogenic microorganisms. Fractionation was performed using liquid-liquid extracts such as ethyl acetate, water, dichloromethane, and hexane extract of plant, and the fractions were tested for antifungal activity and antibacterial activity using well-diffusion method at sample concentration of 10–30 μL. The result indicated that all extracts exhibited antimicrobial activity against all test pathogens. The ethyl acetate extract showed greater activity than other corresponding extracts. Among various extracts, only the ethyl acetate extract show potential against bacterial (gram negative and gram positive) and fungus test strain greater than standard Nystatin test control. Thus, the extract of Veronica biloba could be used to treat microbial (fungus and bacterial strain) infection.
