Plant extracts have been widely used as topical applications for wound-healing, anti-aging, and disease treatments. Examples of these include ginkgo biloba, echinacea, ginseng, grape seed, green tea, lemon, lavender, rosemary, thuja, sarsaparilla, soy, prickly pear, sagebrush, jojoba, aloe vera, allantoin, feverwort, bloodroot, apache plume, and papaya. These plants share a common character: th...

barrier properties are one of the most important factors in the edible film. in this study, edible mungbean films were prepared containing (0%, 15%, 30%, 45%) concentrations of rosemary aqueous extract. then the effect of rosemary was investigated on colorimetric and barrier properties (water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability). rosemary extract increased the absorption of color in the vis...

Rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis L.) is a well-known medicinal and essential oil plant, utilized by humankind since ancient times. The objective was to determine the effect of steam distillation time (DT) and material (dry or fresh biomass) on essential oil yield, composition, and bioactivity; and to develop regression models that can predict oil yield and composition at specific DT. The oil y...

Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) oil is widely used by the cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical industries as a fragrance component of soaps, creams, lotions, and perfumes. Although it is popular, potential harmful side-effects of the oil have been described. We investigated the genotoxic and mutagenic potential of essential oil of R. officinalis in rodents, using comet, micronucleus and chromos...

Minoxidil and Rosemary essential oil have been used for several years to stimulate hair growth. Therefore, coadministration of both Minoxidil and Rosemary essential oil could enhance hair growth. The chemical/biological characteristics of liposomes, which encapsulate both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs, can be utilized to encapsulate the herbal and chemical drug concoction concomitantly. A t...

Abstract Sea buckthorn ( Hippophae rhamnoides ) with high antioxidant capacity is distributed all over the world, but has never been used as a natural in oils to replace synthetic antioxidants. Therefore, this study was performed investigate effectiveness of sea extract comparison common rosemary and on retarding lipid oxidation. First extracts were characterised, it found that had higher polyp...

Rosemary extracts containing the phenolic diterpenes carnosic acid and its derivative carnosol are approved food additives used in an increasingly wide range of products to enhance shelf-life, thanks to their high anti-oxidant activity. We describe here the elucidation of the complete biosynthetic pathway of carnosic acid and its reconstitution in yeast cells. Cytochrome P450 oxygenases (CYP76A...
