Abstract
Cubebenes and related sesquiterpenes, a diverse subclass of terpenes, exhibit remarkable structural complexity and significant pharmacological potential. These naturally occurring compounds, found across various plant species and biological kingdoms, play crucial ecological and medicinal roles. This review presents a compilation of their natural terrestrial and marine sources, biosynthesis, extraction methods, and pharmacological properties, emphasizing their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer activities. Additionally, a bibliometric assessment, combined with computational tools, uncovers research trends, identifies gaps, and predicts potential therapeutic applications, offering valuable insights for future studies on these versatile natural products.
期刊介绍：
eFood is the official journal of the International Association of Dietetic Nutrition and Safety (IADNS) which eFood aims to cover all aspects of food science and technology. The journal’s mission is to advance and disseminate knowledge of food science, and to promote and foster research into the chemistry, nutrition and safety of food worldwide, by supporting open dissemination and lively discourse about a wide range of the most important topics in global food and health.
The Editors welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, mini review, highlights, news, short reports, perspectives and correspondences on both experimental work and policy management in relation to food chemistry, nutrition, food health and safety, etc. Research areas covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, the following:
● Food chemistry
● Nutrition
● Food safety
● Food and health
● Food technology and sustainability
● Food processing
● Sensory and consumer science
