a flavonol, kaempferol, isolated from the fresh flower petals of c. sativus l. (iridaceae) as the sole component. the structure of the compound was determined by chemical and spectroscopic methods.

growing interest to use natural preservatives and spices with antimicrobial effects and large amounts of floral bio-residues (92.6 g per 100 g) generated and wasted in the production of saffron spice guided this study  to evaluate  the opportunity to expand the uses of c. sativus flowers (petals and stamens), beyond the spice (dried stigmas). the antibacterial potential of total extracts and di...

BACKGROUND Crocus sativus L. (saffron) is used in folk medicine, for example as an antiedematogenic agent. We aimed to evaluate the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity of saffron extracts in mice. RESULTS We used aqueous and ethanolic maceration extracts of Crocus sativus L. stigma and petals. Antinociceptive activity was examined using the hot plate and writhing tests. The effect ...

The introduction of new crops to agrophytocenoses, which Crocus sativus belongs, should be preceded by research into their ecological safety and place in crop rotation. When harvesting raw materials for obtaining saffron, up 90% by-products remain, during decomposition can have a negative effect on the soil indirectly plants that are grown after saffron. Therefore, aim was study allelopathic ac...
