{"title":"Chemical Composition of the Essential Oils of Five Salvia Species Growing Wild or Cultivated From Lebanon","authors":"A. N., N. H, Baydoun S","doi":"10.33425/2641-4295.1001","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33425/2641-4295.1001","url":null,"abstract":"Salvia (sage) species have been used for centuries worldwide used as culinary herbs as well as traditional remedies. In Lebanon, Salvia species: S. fruticosa Mill.; S. judaica Boiss.; S. officinalis L.; S. palaestina Benth.; and S. sclarea L. stand among the most important medicinal and aromatic plants that have high potential to contribute to healthcare and livelihoods. The aim of this study was to assess the chemical composition of the essential oils of these 5 Salvia species by GS-MS analysis. The results displayed significant qualitative and quantitative chemical profiles characterized mainly by 1,8-Cineol, Germacrene-D, α-Thujone, Caryophyllene, Sclareol. The main compounds of tested oils were 1,8-Cineole (21.55%) and β-Pinene (10.1%) in S. fruticosa; Germacrene-D (16.1%) and α-Cadinene (8.3%) in S. judaica; α-Thujone (21.04%) and Caryophyllene (12.48%) in S. officinalis; Sclareol (20.2%) and Caryophyllene (15.6%) in S. palaestina and Terpineol (8.9%) and Germacrene-D (8.81%) in S. sclarea. In spite of the dominance of α-Thujone, the profile of the cultivated S. officinalis was found not to be in accordance with the profile defined by standard ISO 9909 official which necessitates the need for more comprehensive investigation through the various developmental stages of the plant and influence of growing and climatic conditions. Nevertheless, the high contents of the 1,8-Cineol, Germacrene-D, α-Thujone, Caryophyllene and Sclareol in the essential oils confirm their potential as natural remedies, cosmetic and food industries. However, with the growing emphasis on quality control, it is necessary to examine the safety of these oils being a key factor in their suitability for consumption and use.

We set out to assess the risk factors associated with the persistently high prevalence of childhood dysentery in Kumi district. Methods: We conducted an analytical matched case-control study, with the under five child as the study unit. We collected quantitative data from the mothers or caretakers of the under five children using semi-structured questionnaires and checklists and qualitative data using Key informer interview guides. Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS while qualitative data was analysed manually. Results: Under fives living in a household of more than 5 people had a 19.2 times higher risk of developing dysentery (OR 19.2, CI 4.4–90.1), and children from households with boiled their drinking water were less than 1% less likely to develop dysentery (OR <0.001, CI 0.1–0.5). There was neither difference between households that used piped water and the development of dysentery (OR 1.1, CI 0.1–8.2), nor households which had another child that had ever had dysentery in the household and having dysentery (OR 3.2, CI 0.3–40.4). Major dysentery risk factors were over-crowding and big family sizes but these were still un-known to the majority of the people, yet people tended to avoid safe water sources like piped water and protected wells or springs due to long distances, high piped water connecting costs and high water bills. Conclusion: Whereas most mothers were knowledgeable of the causes and prevention of dysentery, they did not actually practice what they knew. Sustained campaigns on dysentery prevention and control by the government and other stakeholders are needed. Research Article Citation: Peter Kirabira, David Omondi Okeyo, John C Ssempebwa.

As it is evident most of the time in societythat the junk and restaurant food have become habit of kids, youngsters, teenagers, adults, andadolescents today. They like non nutritious food items in their daily lives. Despite availabilityof nutritious food supplements in the market, there is need of nutritious products in the marketsince there is lack of nutritious food items in supply chain and retail marketing of manybusiness entities. The entrepreneur and marketer need to focus on making widespread publicawareness and implementation of strategic planning related to nutritious items at micro andmacro level in society. The strategic initiative of all shareholders and stakeholders willtransform and change the nutritious business in the market. The organizations can deliver corporate social responsibility and ethical business practices once they start to serve nutritious items to the entire population. The paper will explore and understand the trends, challenges,and opportunities for nutritious products in fast food sector. The collection and findingsof data will give incredible insights to entrepreneurs, scientists, innovators, domesticcompanies, and MNCs around the world about nutritious food items. The paper will show stakeholders and shareholders about how the nutritious products can overcome the problem ofhealth and obesity among diverse people in society. The researcher used and mentionedsecondary data, personal experience, and observation of fast food restaurants in U.S.A. Thepurpose of the study lies in SWOT analysis of fast food sector in U.S.A. The findings andresults came in terms of suggestions and recommendations to new and existing business entities. Review Article Citation: Mohd Suleman.
