Biosynthesis of the skeleton of pulegone in Mentha pulegium
Zeitschrift für Pflanzenphysiologie, 1980Summary 14 C-Labelled geraniol and nerol were specifically incorporated into pulegone in Mentha pulegium such that C 1 of these precursors became the carbonyl carbon in product. Tracer at C 10 of geraniol, however, became equtlly distributed between the gem-methyls of pulegone. [2- 14 C]-Acetate was incorporated much less efficiently (by some 50-

Composition of the essential oil of Austrian Mentha pulegium
Phytochemistry, 1971Abstract The qualitative and quantitative composition of the essential oil of Mentha pulegium L., collected in Austria, was investigated. The main components found were limonene (11%), octyl-3-acetate (0·8%), octanol-3 (1%), menthone (8%), isomenthone (7%) and piperitone (70%).

Mentha pulegium and M. cervina are traditionally used in Alentejo to flavour fish and “açordas” recipes, as well as for medicinal purposes. The essential oil has also industrial applications in foods conservation. M. pulegium is still common in nature, but M. cervina has been disappearing due to excessive collection, overgrazing and habitat destruction.

Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, 2012
Phytopharmaceuticals are gaining popularity worldwide; however, cases of adverse effects and drug interactions have also increased. One reason is in the high metal content both as ingredients but also as contaminants. Metal monitoring in food, like herbal teas, provides basic information on safety aspects in regulatory processes as well as nutritional ...

Free flavonoid aglycones from leaves of mentha pulegium and mentha suaveolens (labiatae)
Phytochemistry, 1998Abstract Methoxyflavone aglycones were isolated from the leaf surface of Mentha suaveolens and M. pulegium. 5,7-Dihydroxy-6-methoxy- and 5,6-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavones with a substituted B-ring and 5,6-dihydroxy-7,8-dimethoxyflavones, characteristic flavonoid constituents of the subfamily Nepetoideae and of the tribe Saturejeae, respectively, were ...

Biological activities of pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium L.) in broilers
Livestock Science, 2012Abstract This study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium L.) levels (0, 0.25 or 0.50%) on the growth performance and Escherichia coli and lactic acid bacteria count in the jejunum of broilers. A total of 150 broiler chicks (Ross 308), obtained from a commercial hatchery at 1 day of age, were allocated to 3 ...

Endophytic biocatalysts with enoate reductase activity isolated from Mentha pulegium
World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2018The biotransformation of (4R)-(-)-carvone by Mentha pulegium (pennyroyal) leaves and its endophytic bacteria was performed in order to search for novel biocatalysts with enoate reductase activity. The obtained results clearly indicated that endophytes play an important role in the biotransformation of (4R)-(-)-carvone with pennyroyal plant tissues. The

Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of Mentha pulegium L. essential oil
Talanta, 2004The dependence of Mentha pulegium L. (pennyroyal) essential oil composition, obtained by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO(2)), with the following parameters: pressure, temperature, extraction time (dynamic), and modifier (methanol) was studied. The results were also compared with those obtained by conventional hydrodistillation method in laboratory ...
