Unlike drugs, which often contain a single chemical in large quantities, herbs contain a mixture of many active ingredients that act synergistically to produce a therapeutic effect. Medicinal plants also contain a wide variety of minerals and vitamins. The articles on medicinal plants did not specify all the chemicals contained by the plants, only those in the largest quantities and with proven therapeutic effect. Each chemical has an effect due to its chemical structure and can act in several directions, which is why there are so many beneficial medical effects attributed to medicinal plants. The review paper presents a specialized theoretical study related to the chemical composition of medicinal plants in Romania. The research results are structured in the form of a theoretical-informative scientific guide, which includes, in addition to the literary and scientific name of medicinal plants, and a description of the main biochemical compounds detected in each species.","PeriodicalId":14019,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants","volume":"327 1","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82922540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Antimicrobial activities were analyzed by disc diffusion and microdilution against six foodborne microbial strains (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans). That's why, to predicate the optimal mix, we are using the Augmented Simplex Centroid Design. The chemical composition shows that the main compound of M. pulegium were pulegone (50.31%) and menthone (26.92%). For P. chloranthus EO, The major constituents were dillapiole (13.56%) and pregnane (8.47%) and the main products of T. algeriensis EO are Camphor (14.06%), β-Phellandrene (13.71%) and α-pinene (8.55%). The antimicrobial activity of the three studied EOs confirms the highest antibacterial activity of T. algeriensis and P. chloranthus EO against a lower antibacterial activity of M. pulegium EO. Moreover, the response surface analysis showed significant synergistic effects in some binary and ternary mixtures. The optimal mixture predicted against C. albicans corresponded to 12%, 35% and 53% of M. pulegium, P. chloranthus and T. algeriensis EOs, respectively. While the optimal mixture predicted against S. aureus was composed by P. chloranthus and T. algeriensis essential oils at 84% and 16%, respectively. Similarly, this binary mixture, between P. chloranthus and T. algeriensis, presented optimal antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa composed by essential oils at 20% and 80%, respectively. Generally, the combination between 19% M. pulegium, 41% P. chloranthus and 40% T. algeriensis consisting the optimal ternary mixture Eos. Our findings show that by the use of mixture design we can predict antibacterial interaction of essential oils. Therefore, it can be used as a natural antimicrobial agent and a food additives.","PeriodicalId":14019,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86021636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
