Mineral elements of some wild plants of traditional uses in the Moroccan Rif Mountains.

Background: Wild edible plants (WEPs) that are part of the Mediterranean diet and used in Moroccan traditional food and therapy are now less or not used. This requires their valorization to avoid the threat of their disappearance. The objective of this work was therefore to determine the mineral content in the parts of some WEPs species used for their health benefits in the Rif in Morocco.

Antibacterial and antifungal activities of Moroccan wild edible plants selected based on ethnobotanical evidence.

Background: Despite the extensive literature focusing on identifying novel antimicrobials of plant origin, little work has been undertaken to examine the antimicrobial activity of wild edible plants.

Objective: The current research aimed to determine the in vitro antimicrobial activity of methanolic extract of some common wild edible plants.

Material And Methods: Disc diffusion and broth micro dilution methods were used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of extracts of , , , , , , and against known human microorganisms' pathogens.

Assessment of phenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Moroccan propolis.

Background: Despite the extensive literature focused on propolis extract, few data exists on the bioactive compounds and biological activities in the Moroccan propolis and its economic value is low.

Objective: In this research, the aim was to evaluate the total content of phenols and flavonoids as well as the antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal activities of Moroccan propolis.

Material And Methods: The polyphenol and flavonoid content of the Moroccan propolis from three geographic regions, was quantified in the ethanolic extract by colorimetric methods using folin-ciocalteu and aluminum chloride.

Adherence to the Mediterranean diet in two Moroccan populations living at different distances from the Mediterranean Sea.

Background: There is growing strong scientific evidence over the past few decades that the Mediterranean diet (MD) has protective effects on cardiometabolic health.

Objective: This study aimed to assess MD adherence and its association with sociodemographic and lifestyle factors among women living in two Moroccan provinces, El Jadida and Tetouan, located at different distances from the Mediterranean Sea.

Material And Methods: It is a cross-sectional study involved 355 subjects of which 55.

Nutritional composition and bioactive compounds of a local variety of Vitis vinifera L. cultivated in Morocco.

Background: The vine is considered one of the most important and popular fruits in the world thanks to its high nutritional value and high fiber content.

Objective: This study aim was to evaluate the nutritional composition in a local variety 'Doukkali' grape (Vitis vinifera L.) in the perspective of their suitability for pharmaceutical and agri-food use.

Chemical composition and antioxidant activity of extracts from Moroccan fresh fava beans pods (Vicia Faba L.).

Background: In Morocco, fava beans are widely used as a main meal or as an ingredient in various traditional recipes, in the form of fresh ripe seeds or dry seeds. In the past, the tender skin of bean pods was also used in certain specific dishes, thus diversifying the diet. However, the peels of the tender bean pods are currently less or not used and considered waste.
