Abstract
ABSTRACT The biological activities of Inula graveolens in Chebba (Tunisia) salt marsh were screened. Total polyphenol (TPP), flavonoid (TF), and proanthocyanidin (TPC) contents were determined and the correlation between the phytochemistry and the antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-enzymatic activities was assessed. The polyphenols in the solvent extracts suggested that salinity stress may enhance the production of bioactive compounds. Antiradical activities and a potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitory power were observed. I. graveolens extracts were antimicrobial against Salmonella typhimurium, Micrococcus luteus, and Staphylococcus aureus. Total flavonoids correlated with the activity against M. luteus, while the total polyphenols content was not correlated with the antimicrobial activity.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is an essential reference filled with recent research and other valuable information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. The Journal serves as a focus point through which investigators and others may publish material of importance to the production, marketing, and utilization of these plants and associated extracts. The journal covers the following topics: growth, development, horticulture, ecology, physiology, genetics, chemistry, and economics. Original articles, review articles, and book reviews provide information of interest to an international audience of researchers, teachers, technicians, and managers involved with production and/or marketing of herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. Managers of food companies, food processing facilities, medical research laboratories, government agencies, and others interested in new chemicals, food additives, international trade, patents, and other items can easily review new findings. The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is a forum in which recent research and other information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants is shared. The Journal represents a centralized database accessible by investigators within the international community that work with or have an interest in herbs, spices, and medicinal plants.
