Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of India. Vol. 2.

Eds.: Máthé, Á. and Khan, A.I.

https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-44914-7

The 9th volume of the series Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the World has been published.

This book is the 2nd volume of the series dealing with Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of India.

India being one of the countries with the longest and richest past/present/future of Medicinal and Aromatic Plant (MAP) production and utilization has accumulated more than sufficient knowledge to fill two volumes.  This is shown by the vivid interest of Indian colleagues to contribute.  Similarly to the previous volumes, this book deals with the various important aspects (from botanical through phytochemical to pharmacological) of MAPs', famous or simply known of India.  Scientific and technological achievements will be equally presented.

In addition to the first volume, India Vol. 1, this volume is aimed to look carefully at our present knowledge of the vast interdisciplinary domain of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, with an Indian focus.

https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-43312-2

The 10th volume of the series Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the World has been published.

Similarly, to the previous volumes of the series, this work deals -in a monographic form- with MAPs characteristic/famous or simply known of Turkey, a large country that is connecting Europe with Asia.

Turkey has extremely rich and varied topographic/ecological conditions. As a result, the flora of Turkey abounds in an astonishingly great number of endemic MAP species. Traditional, present and possible prospective uses will be discussed. Scientific and technological achievements will be equally presented. Briefly, the volume is aimed to look carefully at our present knowledge of this vast interdisciplinary domain of medicinal and aromatic plants with a focus on Turkey.

In the era of global climate change and Covid-pandemics, building on the huge Turkish traditions, the volume is expected to contribute to the better knowledge and understanding of the MAP wealth of the World.

Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of India

This book is the 8th volume of the popular series ‘Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the World’. Like the previous volumes, this volume is being introduced in a monographic format containing an extremely rich and diverse medicinal flora of India. Both well-known and somewhat still ignored species have been described in view of their traditional, present day and prospective uses. The scientific and technological achievements are also included aptly in this volume, together with a careful and critical consideration to our contemporary knowledge of this vast interdisciplinary domain with an Indian focus. In the era of global climate change and pandemics, building on the huge Indian traditions, this volume will make an important contribution to the better knowledge and understanding of MAPs. The Indian flora has always been recognized for its medicinal and aromatic plant values and this volume is explicitly focusing in that direction. With the rapidly expanding scope of natural nutraceuticals and herbal formulations, this book will be a fruitful acquisition for the interested readers globally.

This volume, as the seventh of the series Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the World, deals with the medicinal and aromatic plant (MAPs) treasures of the so-called Southern Cone, the three southernmost countries (Argentina, Chile and Uruguay) of South America. Similarly to the previous volumes of the series, the main focus is to collect and provide information on major aspects of botany, traditional usage, chemistry, production / collection practices, trade and utilization of this specific group of plants. The contributors, who are recognized professionals and specialist of the domain, have collected and present state of the art information on 41 species. Most of these are not only of interest from the scientific point of view, but hold also a potential for the prospective utilization of the decreasing, occasionally overexploited / endangered medicinal plant resources of this huge continent. The book is expected to serve as a source of information also on some less known or less studied species. As such the volume is expected to support future research and public health professionals.

Kutaisi, Georgia, was home to over 1 000 producers of culinary herbs, and for one day last month it was home to more than 60 industry players who met for an international conference to discuss investment opportunities in the culinary herbs value chain.

 

Georgia has the ideal climate to produce a great variety of herbs – including dill, mint and parsley – as well as a long-standing growing tradition. Until now, the country’s exports of fresh herbs have been focused on the Russian market, but Georgia has a great opportunity to expand into the global market.

Examining bilbery's potential for treating diabetes and coronary diseases

This is an interesting brochure authored by Professor Alban Ibraliu,

Anni Koci Kallfa and Frédéric Perron-Welch.

 

In a Biodiscovery Case they write the followings:

"Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), a species native to Europe and North America, is a perennial subshrub from the family ericaceae, subfamily vacciniaeae. According to germplasm documentation and to scientific studies, the bilberry is widely used to improve night vision and to decrease vascular permeability and capillary fragility; moreover, the berry has various other reputed health benefits, although most interest has been focused on anthocyanin-related antioxidant effects.

Antibacterial compounds from Vaccinium myrtillus may have important applications as natural antibacterial agents. furthermore, bilberry has antioxidant and anticancer properties and protects against coronary diseases. Bilberry has also been reported to have anti-obesity and hypoglycaemic effects, which would bring cardioprotective benefits. in Albania, bilberry has been used in traditional remedies as treatment for diabetes and coronary diseases. the Agricultural university of Tirana (Alb), among others, is currently undertaking research to assess and further develop the biodiscovery and product development potentials of these leads"
