Plants have a crucial role in sustaining all living organisms. Plants possess unique systems that they have evolved to counteract different biotic and abiotic stressors, ensuring the continuation of their essential functions. Specifically, the organisms generate secondary metabolites that bear significant bioactivity. Aromatic plants, rich in bioactive compounds, produce these phytochemicals as a defense mechanism and for preventive purposes, exerting substantial impacts on human health. The effects encompass antibacterial, anticancer, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antiinflammatory actions. Incorporating plants with these effects into the human diet enhances the significance of plants in terms of their defensive and beneficial characteristics. The characterization of bioactive compounds in aromatic plants can be determined utilizing a variety of equipment and methodologies. By analyzing the chemical composition of the plant, we can establish the specific type and quantity of bioactive compounds it contains. These characterization techniques play a crucial role in determining the direction of many activities involving bioactive compounds. This study aimed to investigate the secondary metabolites, bioactivities, and characteristics of aromatic plants. © 2025 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Aromatic plants are plants with a wide range of traditional uses. One of the areas of medical use is their consumption for nutritional purposes. Aromatic plants have been used for thousands of years for their preservative and medicinal properties and for enhancing the aroma and flavor of foods. Hibiscus species L. are among the aromatic plants widely used in Türkiye. Studies have shown that Hibiscus species L. have antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antifertility, antifungal, antioxidative, antihypertensive, and hypoglycaemic effects. The use of aromatic plants for therapeutic purposes for centuries has made their compounds the research subject. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) was combined with solid phase microextraction (SPME) to determine volatile organic compounds. Twenty-nine volatile organic compounds were determined from different parts of H. syriacus L. species. The compounds with the highest content are carvacrol, thymol, eucalyptol, and linalool. The compounds with the highest ratios determined in the flower, seeds, leaves, and buds of Hibiscus syriacus L. were carvacrol (57.93 %), carvacrol (31.50 %), thymol (44.53 %) and carvacrol (54.54 %), respectively.

In this study, interview technique (face to face) was used to collect data from 56 herbalists in three provinces of the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey (Mardin, Diyarbakir and Sanliurfa). The main purpose of the study was to determine the education level, learning methods of their job, professional experiences, the parts of the plants used and the problems of the herbalists. The average age of the herbalists were 41,7 and majority of them had a high school diploma. They learned this job mainly from older family members or working at the herbal shop. They mainly obtained their products from local people and wholesalers. Especially spices, food supplements, treatments, cosmetic and weight loss products were sold by herbalists.

Pollution of the environment is one of the most significant problems of our generation and the future as our living spaces shrink. Waste materials is the first of many sources of environmental pollution. Waste must be evaluated and reused in recycling facilities to ensure environmental order and balance. This study evaluated the pulp of the Nigella sativa L., seed plant, whose oil was removed by a cold pressing method and turned it into value-added products. Particularly, pulp and Nigella sativa L., seeds have healing and nutritionally rich qualities. Nigella sativa L., pulp was made into a skin mask and used as an added value product in the study. © 2024, Jomard Publishing. All rights reserved.

Production of Value-Added Cosmetic Products From Cold-Pressed Helianthus Annuus L. Oil and Pulp
(Jomard Publishing, 2024) Karadag, M.; Karadağ, Murat; Baran, A.; Baran, Ayşe; Güneş, Z.; Güneş, Zübeyir; 16.03. Department of Medical and Aromatic Plants / Tıbbi ve Aromatik Bitkiler Bölümü; 02.12.

Recycling, in its literal sense, is the recycling of obsolete recyclable waste materials into manufacturing processes as raw materials through various recycling methods. We can say that a lot of waste is generated in environmental and industrial terms. Sunflower (Helianthus annus L.) is one of the major oil crops grown in the world for the production of edible and biodiesel oil. A large number of plant and raw material wastes, especially those used in food products, are recycled into cleaning, health, cosmetic and industrial products. In this study, the cold-pressed oil and pulp obtained from the seeds of the sunflower plant were evaluated and transformed into an added-value cosmetic product. Especially the fact that it contains other valuable compounds such as phenolic compounds, fatty acids, fibers, vitamins, minerals and polyphenols increases the popularity of the value-added product. Within the scope of our work, we produced two value-added products. These products are creams containing sunflower oil, which has nourishing, moisturizing and protective properties and the other product is a skin mask containing sunflower pulp. As our university specializes in added-value agricultural products, our product production is increasing day by day. © 2024, Jomard Publishing. All rights reserved.
