Abstract

This study was carried out to safeguard ancestral knowledge about most Lamiaceae plants used by the population of the Bejaia region (north-eastern Algeria) for medicinal and food purposes. Using 200 questionnaire sheets, ethnobotanical surveys were performed between February and July 2020. The data were analyzed by calculating quantitative indices such as Relative Citation Frequency (RFC), Plant Part Value (PPV) use index, and Fidelity Level (FL). It was shown that women hold ethnobotanical information (52%) more than men (48%), older persons are expected to provide more reliable information and the majority of users have a university level. Otherwise, herbal medicine is used more in rural areas than in urban and 55% of the studied plants are cultivated while 45% are wild. The leaves are the most used part (PPV = 0.592) and the infusion method was the most commonly used (69.7%). Ethnobotanical analysis revealed that Mentha spicata L. (RFC=0.44), Lavendula stoechas L. (RFC=0.215), and Salvia officinalis L. (RFC=0.205) are frequently used. Digestive pathologies are the major therapeutic indications and 41.44% of species were used for seasoning meat and fish. This survey could constitute an important source of information and a database for further research in the fields of phytochemistry and pharmacology

阿尔及利亚贝加亚省人口用作药用和烹饪植物的大多数Lamiaceae的民族植物学研究

开展这项研究是为了保护贝加亚地区(阿尔及利亚东北部)人口用于医药和食品目的的大多数Lamiaceae植物的祖先知识。在2020年2月至7月期间，使用200份问卷进行了民族植物学调查。通过计算相对被引频次(RFC)、植物成分价值(PPV)利用指数和保真度(FL)等定量指标对数据进行分析。研究表明，女性拥有的民族植物学信息(52%)比男性(48%)多，老年人有望提供更可靠的信息，大多数用户具有大学学历。此外，草药在农村地区的使用比在城市更多，研究的植物中55%是栽培的，45%是野生的。使用最多的部位是叶片(PPV = 0.592)，使用最多的部位是冲泡法(69.7%)。民族植物学分析结果显示，薄荷(Mentha spicata L.) (RFC=0.44)、薰衣草(Lavendula stoechas L.) (RFC=0.215)和鼠尾草(Salvia officinalis L.) (RFC=0.205)被广泛使用。消化疾病是主要的治疗适应症，41.44%的品种用于调味肉类和鱼类。该调查可为植物化学和药理学领域的进一步研究提供重要的信息来源和数据库

期刊介绍： The Jordan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (JJPS) is a scientific, bi-annual, peer-reviewed publication that will focus on current topics of interest to the pharmaceutical community at large. Although the JJPS is intended to be of interest to pharmaceutical scientists, other healthy workers, and manufacturing processors will also find it most interesting and informative. Papers will cover basic pharmaceutical and applied research, scientific commentaries, as well as views, reviews. Topics on products will include manufacturing process, quality control, pharmaceutical engineering, pharmaceutical technology, and philosophies on all aspects of pharmaceutical sciences. The editorial advisory board would like to place an emphasis on new and innovative methods, technologies, and techniques for the pharmaceutical industry. The reader will find a broad range of important topics in this first issue.
