Recovery of Polyphenolic Compounds and Vitamins from the Stinging Nettle Leaves: Thermal and Behavior and Biological Activity of Obtained Extracts.

Stinging nettle (SN) is an extraordinary plant from the botanical family. It is well-known and widely used in food and folk medicine to treat different disorders and diseases. This article aimed to study the chemical composition of SN leaves extracts, i.

Recovery of Biologically Active Compounds from Stinging Nettle Leaves Part II: Processing of Exhausted Plant Material after Supercritical Fluid Extraction.

Stinging nettle ( L.) is one fantastic plant widely used in folk medicine, pharmacy, cosmetics, and food. This plant's popularity may be explained by its chemical composition, containing a wide range of compounds significant for human health and diet.

The effect of various extraction techniques on the quality of sage ( L.) essential oil, expressed by chemical composition, thermal properties and biological activity.

In this study, influence of the extraction techniques on the quality of the sage essential oil was investigated. Obtained samples were analyzed for chemical composition by GC/MS, thermal properties by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and for biological activity: antioxidant (DPPH, CUPRAC, FRAP, ABTS, HRSA and TBARS), microbiological (, , , , and ), and cytotoxic (HeLa, LS-174, A549 and MRC-5) activities. Chemical composition showed that viridiflorol was principal compound in all samples followed by camphor, thujones, and verticiol.
