Use of predictive tools for the analysis of bioactive compounds in Crocus sativus L. flowers

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Crocus sativus L. (saffron) flowers have high bioactive potential because of their content of crocins, safranal and phenolic compounds. The development of predictive models based on near‐infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and partial least squares regression to estimate the antioxidant capacity of saffron flower, evaluated using oxygen ...

Unveiling chemical composition of peppermint oil and its bioactivities compared with (R)‐(+)‐limonene: antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and insecticidal perspectives

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) essential oil (MPEO) is recognized for its broad‐spectrum antimicrobial properties and potential applications in food preservation. This study aimed to determine whether the bioactivity of MPEO is attributable to (R)‐(+)‐limonene or whether the complete essential oil provides higher efficacy due to ...

Advancing Therapies for Mycobacterial Diseases: From Small Molecules to Host‐Directed Strategies

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global burden of multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) and the rising incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections highlight the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Current treatments are prolonged, toxic, and increasingly compromised by resistance and limited diagnostic capacity.
