Raimondo & Domina is a rare Sicilian paleoendemic species. The aim of study was to investigate the micro-morphological features of leaves by light and scanning electron microscopy, to elucidate the phytochemical profile of essential oil (EO), -hexane (HE) and hydroalcoholic extract (HAE) by gas and liquid chromatographic methods, and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties by in vitro assays. Leaves had a large lanceolate blade, dark green on the upper side and greyish on the lower one with a dense tomentum.

Weeds cause a decrease in the quantity and quality of agricultural production and economic damage to producers. The prolonged use of synthetic pesticides causes problems of environmental pollution, the possible alteration of agricultural products and problems for human health. For this reason, the scientific community's search for products of natural origin, which are biodegradable, safe for human health and can act as valid alternatives to traditional herbicides, is growing.

Article Synopsis
  • The research investigates the potential of using fennel by-products from Southern Italy by analyzing their chemical properties and health benefits.
  • The study identifies useful compounds in the extracts, like flavonoids and essential amino acids, and highlights trans-anethole and limonene as key components in essential oils.
  • Results show that while the hydroalcoholic extracts have moderate antioxidant activity, the essential oils exhibit antimicrobial properties against several common bacteria, suggesting that fennel waste can be a valuable resource.
