Most traditional medicine systems utilize herbs (plants) as the main source of their therapeutic substances, although minerals and animal products are also utilized. traditional knowledge has often played a role in the development of modern science. Greater eff...

Secondary metabolites of aromatic plants are used in many health applications as drugs, pheromones, insecticides, fragrances, and antioxidants. Due to the huge commercial demand for these secondary metabolites, need overcome insufficient productivity has become a significant challenge. Plant breeding is traditional, labor-intensive, limited method improve ability produce metabolites. Modern met...

Azo dyes in textiles may release aromatic amines after enzymatic cleavage by skin bacteria or after dermal absorption and metabolism in the human body. From the 896 azo dyes with known chemical structure in the available textile dyes database, 426 azo dyes (48%) can generate one or more of the 22 regulated aromatic amines in the European Union in Annex XVII of REACH. Another 470 azo dyes (52%) ...

Botany, the science of plants, is linked with medicinal and aromatic plants in many different ways. The ca. 40,000 plant species used for ethnomedicinal purposes, since the beginning of recorded history, have traditionally been collected and gathered from the wild. Botanical sciences (like plant systematics, morphology and physiology) have been assisting the study and utilization of MAPs in a m...

essential oils are volatile, natural, complex compounds formed by aromatic plants as secondary metabolites. in nature, essential oils play an important role in protecting plants in form of antibacterials, antivirals, antifungals, insecticides properties and also against herbivores. they also may attract some insects to use them in dispersion of pollens and seeds, or repel undesirable others. pr...

A research association was established between Rutgers University, USA and Argentinian Universities, National University of La Rioja and National University of Córdoba, to identify aromatic and medicinal plants of potential commercial interest for future cultivation and conservation programs. This study was part of a larger project to study the uses of native aromatic plants in commercial produ...

Background: The genus Thymus is a perennial and aromatic plant and belongs to Lamiaceae family. The essential oils of these plants are used for the treatment of mouth and throat mucosal inflammation, catarrh and respiratory disorders and as antioxidant and antiseptic. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare chemical composition of the essential oils derived from aromatic waters of ...
