In this study, the anti-cancer, anti-tyrosinase, and antioxidant activities of essential oils (EOs) of berries and leaves of grown wild in North of Tunisia were investigated. The EO yields from leaves and berries were 1.69% and 0.

- The essential oil (EO) from myrtle, rich in compounds like myrtenyl acetate and linalool, was microencapsulated using maltodextrin through emulsification and spray-drying, achieving specific yield and efficiency rates.
- The microencapsulated form, named MMEO, demonstrated significant gastroprotective effects in Wistar rats by reducing gastric lesions and acidity in an ethanol/HCl-induced ulcer model.
- MMEO also showed strong anti-inflammatory properties, helping maintain antioxidant enzyme activity and suggesting that its protective effects stem from a combination of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions.
The fractionation of the methanolic extract (MeOH-E) of (Forssk.) Webb & Berthel and further analysis by thin layer chromatography resulted in four fractions (F1, F2, F3 and F4) that, in parallel with the MeOH-E, were screened for antioxidant, cytotoxic, antidiabetic and antibacterial properties. In addition, chemical characterization of their bioactive molecules was performed using LC-DAD-ESI/MS.
