Abstract:

Plant essential oils of six aromatic herb species and interspecies hybrids of the family Lamiaceae – chocolate mint (Mentha piperita × ‘Chocolate’), pineapple mint (Mentha suaveolens ‘Variegata’), apple mint (Mentha × rotundifolia), spearmint (Mentha spicata), orange mint (Mentha × piperita ‘Granada’) and strawberry mint (Mentha × villosa ‘Strawberry’) – were investigated for antimicrobial effects against plant pathogenic bacteria: Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae and Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina. The screening was carried out in vitro on agar plates filled with the target organism. All essential oils screened exhibited a higher level of antibacterial activity against A. tumefaciens and X. arboricola pv. corylina than streptomycin used as a standard in all tests. The antimicrobial effect of streptomycin and five mint oils was at the same level for P. syringae pv. syringae. There were no significant differences in the influence of the chocolate mint oil on the growth inhibition of all bacteria tested. Plant essential oils from pineapple mint, apple mint, spearmint and strawberry mint showed the weakest antimicrobial activity against P. syringae pv. syringae and the strongest towards A. tumefaciens and X. arboricola pv. corylina. The essential oils from strawberry mint, pineapple mint, spearmint and apple mint had the strongest effect on A. tumefaciens, and the lowest inhibitory activity was exhibited by the chocolate mint and orange mint essential oils. X. arboricola pv. corylina was the most sensitive to the strawberry mint, pineapple mint and spearmint oils. The chocolate mint oil showed the greatest activity against P. syringae pv. syringae.

Abstract:

Keywords: Mentha L., Mentha arvensis L., Mentha longifolia L., morphological, macroscopic and microscopic features. Background. The medicine in Ukraine widely uses peppermint leaves and their hybrids as vegetable raw materials. The fieldmint, Mentha arvensis L., and horsemint, Mentha longifolia L., are ofscientific interest. They are wide spread in Ukraine, resistant to disease, have a significant raw material base. The aim of the study. Identification of the main interspecific differences between field and long-leaf mint or horsemint and peppermint. Materials and methods of research. The morphological examination was performed on live and dried plant samples. The anatomical structure was established on the preparations from the surface. The Micromed XS 2610 biological microscope with magnification from (x10) to (x100) was used to study the anatomical and diagnostic features. Results and discussion. Representatives of the genus Mentha L. have both common and distinctive features. The pube scence, the nature of the margin, and the ratio of the length of the teeth to the calyx tube are different and canbe a diagnosticsign in identifying different types of mint in culture and in the wild. In field mint, the teeth are broadly triangular, obtuse, 3 times shorter than the tube, in horsemint, the teeth are linear-pointed, almost equalin length to the tube. The shape, size, base, edge and top of the leaf blade differed. Thus, in field mint form is ovoidoroblong- elliptical, the base is round, coreorwedge-shaped, the edge is serrated, the tip is sharp, the surface is bare, in long-leaved mint - oblongovoid, rounded, unevenly to othed, sharp, pubescent, respectively. According to the results of microscopican alysis, it was found that in the field mint on the edge of the leaf blade are simple 1-6 cellhairs; numerous 4-6 cellhairs are observed on the entire surface of the leaf blade, including veins. Horsemint has unicellular papillary hairs allover the leaf surface. Clusters of simple 1-4 cell hairs are observed along the edge of the leaf, simple hairs in long-leaved mint are much smaller than in other types of mint. Conclusions. Morphological and anatomical studies of plants of the genus Mentha L.: mint and mint have identified the main morphological specific features that will allow their identification.

Abstract:

Hidden hunger, also known as micronutrient deficiency, is a form of undernutrition, which is exacerbated when food security is fragile. However, the amount of phytonutrients in the diet can be increased by using underutilized species, such as fresh mint greens (Mentha). These plants have a high biological value due to the high content of biologically active substances. Plants of the genus Mentha, however, differ significantly in their chemical composition and, thus, nutritional value. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the content of phytonutrients in different Ukrainian species of mint: peppermint (Mentha piperita), horsemint (Mentha longifolia L.), silver-leaved horsemint (Mentha longifolia S.), and spearmint (Mentha spicata L.), and to determine their stability after drying and freezing. After studying the chemical composition of fresh, dried, and frozen plants of these species, it was established that Ukrainian mint species offer a robust set of phytonutrients and can be used as ingredients of the so-called “functional foods.” The biologically active substances in mint are concentrated during drying. Moreover, such raw materials are easily stored and used as an ingredient. However, the losses of ascorbic acid due to drying mint reach 70%; of carotenoids—approximately 10–15%; of chlorophylls—21–38%; and of phenols—19–29%. Peppermint and spearmint were observed to have higher stability of biologically active compounds. As for the freezing, the best stability of the chemical composition was demonstrated by field mint and spearmint samples. Therefore, a targeted selection of mint types and varieties prior to processing will allow preserving maximal preservation of a maximum amount of biologically active substances, increasing the content of phytonutrients in finished products, and preventing the development of hidden hunger.

Abstract:

O gênero Mentha compreende diversas espécies de interesse econômico por causa da produção de óleos essenciais. Recentemente, foram introduzidos no Brasil novos materiais genéticos para avaliação da adaptação em relação ao potencial de rendimento e composição do óleo essencial. No presente trabalho, foram comparadas essas características em cultivares das espécies Mentha x piperita L. (cv. Grapefruit Mint e cv. Persian Mint Field), M. suaveolens Ehrh. (cv. Hillarys Sweet Lemon Mint), M. spicata L. (cv. Mentol Mint), M. aquatica L. (cv. Common Mint) e M. arvensis L. (cv. Banana Mint), durante o verão e inverno em Curitiba (PR). O rendimento médio das cultivares no verão foi aproximadamente o dobro do rendimento observado no inverno. Duas cultivares de Mentha x piperita L. (cv. Persina Mint Field e cv. Grapefruit Mint) apresentaram maior rendimento de óleo essencial no verão e inverno, sendo que as demais não diferiram entre si. A análise da composição do óleo essencial indicou grande variação nessas cultivares, sendo observada a presença de linalol, como constituinte majoritário na cv. Grapefruit Mint e a-felandren-8-ol e cis-ocimeno na cv. Persian Mint Field.

Abstract:

Verticillium wilt, caused by the fungus Verticillium dahliae, is the most important and destructive disease of mint (Mentha spp.) in the United States (U.S.). The disease was first observed in commercial mint fields in the Midwestern U.S. in the 1920s and, by the 1950s, was present in mint producing regions of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Verticillium wilt continues to be a major limiting factor in commercial peppermint (Mentha x piperita) and Scotch spearmint (Mentha x gracilis) production, two of the most important sources of mint oil in the U.S. The perennial aspect of U.S. mint production, coupled with the soilborne, polyetic nature of V. dahliae, makes controlling Verticillium wilt in mint a challenge. Studies investigating the biology and genetics of the fungus, the molecular mechanisms of virulence and resistance, and the role of soil microbiota in modulating host-pathogen interactions are needed to improve our understanding of Verticillium wilt epidemiology and inform novel disease management strategies. This review will discuss the history and importance of Verticillium wilt in commercial U.S. mint production, as well as provide a format to highlight past and recent research advances in an effort to better understand and manage the disease.

Abstract:

Mentha species are one of the world oldest and popular herbs, that are used in cosmetic and food industry, as well as tea for their medical properties. Due the consumer perception of ecological production and aromatic plants production waste utilization the objective of this work was to determine differences in chemical content and colour among different varieties and parts of Mentha plants ecologically grown in Lithuania. In mint leaves there were determined: content of essential oils, dry matter, soluble solids, ascorbic acid, crude fibre, crude ash, photosynthetic pigments and colour CIE L*a*b* parameters. In the case of mint plants stems, the same analyses were performed except ascorbic acid, soluble solids and colour. The highest content of essential oils were found in Mentha spicata L. ‘Moroccan’ and Mentha piperita L. ‘Glacialis’ leaves, while the least in Mentha suaveolens Ehrh. ‘Variegata’. The content of essential oils in the stems was minor and did not depend on mint variety. Plant parts differ significantly in respect of chemical composition. Amount of dry matter in mint leaves and stems was very similar, while crude ash in the leaves was twice higher than in the stems. Content of crude fibre in the leaves did not differ significantly in all investigated varieties and was 3.6 times lower comparing with the stems. Average ratio of chlorophyll a to b in the leaves was equal to 2.78, while in stems equal to 2.83. The lightest was Mentha suaveolens ‘Variegata’, the darkest Mentha spicata L. ‘Moroccan’ and the greenest Mentha piperita L. ‘Swiss’ leaves. Mints and their parts differ in chemical content and can have widespread usage not only for production of high-value natural products but in addition as alternative fibrous biomass plants.

Abstract:

In recent years, many large-scale plantings have become refined small-scale or home plantings. The rapid progress of agriculture technologies and information techniques enables people to control the growth of agricultural products well. Hence, this study proposes an Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) based Plant Pot Design for planting edible mint in an office setting, which is called APPD. APPD is composed of intelligent gardens and a cloud-based service platform. An intelligent garden is deployed an Arduino with multiple sensors to monitor and control plant pots of the edible mint, Mentha spicata. The cloud-based service platform provides a Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) inference engine with a database for adjustment influence factors. This study discusses eight growing statuses of Mentha spicata with different illumination, photometric exposure, and moisture content, designed for an office environment. Evaluation results indicate that Mentha spicata with 16 h red–blue lighting and 50% moisture content makes a maximum 5% mint extract of the total weight of the mint leaves. Finally, APPD can be a reference model for researchers and engineers.

Abstract:

Heat stress affects the yield of medicinal plants and can reduce biomass and/or metabolite production. In order to evaluate the effect of heat-induced stress on the essential oil production in Mentha x piperita L. var. Mitcham (Mitcham mint) and Mentha arvensis var. piperascens Malinv. ex L. H. Bailey (Japanese mint), we studied the chemical composition of the oils of the two mint species under different heat shock stresses in growth chambers. The antibacterial activity of the essential oils was also evaluated; microscopic observation (fluorescence and electron transmission) was used to assess the effect of the tested samples on bacterial growth. The results obtained shed light on the mint essential oils composition and biological activity in relation to heat stress.

Abstract:

Medicinal plant are part of the flora that grows and is widespread in Indonesia, one of which is mint (Mentha arvensis). Mint plant is an aromatic herbaceous plant that is widely used for air freshener, as a food garnish, and medicine. However, few studies have tested the toxicity of mint leaves. To achieve safe treatment, many studies have been carried out in pharmacological and toxicity testing of medicinal plants. The toxicity test of these medicinal plants uses the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method after 24 hours of exposure to the sample being tested. This study aimed to determine the toxicity of mint leaves (Mentha arvensis) to shrimp larvae (Artemia salina Leach). Mint leaf extract was obtained from a 24-hour maceration extraction process using 96% ethanol as a solvent. Toxicity test were carried out using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method with a concentration of 1 ppm, 2 ppm, 3 ppm, 4 ppm ad 5 ppm. The percentage of deaths of shrimp larvae was calculated and calculation of LC50 value using Probit analysis. The LC50 value was obtained 3,5223 ppm and its categorized as very toxic to shrimp larvae because LC50 < 30 ppm. It can be concluded that mint leaves (Mentha arvensis) can be used as a candidate to be developed as an anti-cancer drug.

Abstract:

This review article discusses the active constituents and potential of two menthol mint oils, Mentha piperita (MPEO) and Mentha arvensis (MAEO), as natural sources for botanical pesticides. The biological activities of these menthol mint oils, which can be useful in agriculture, have been broadly researched, especially toward phytotoxic microorganisms. To a lesser extent, the insecticidal and herbicidal activities of mint EOs have also been studied. It is apparent that the prospect of using menthol mint oils in agriculture is increasing in popularity. A number of investigations showed that the in vitro efficacy of MPEO and MAEO, as well as that of their main constituent, menthol, is pronounced. The results of in vitro research are useful for choosing EOs for further investigations. However, it is clear that in situ experiments are crucial and should be more extensively developed. At the same time, known techniques are to be applied to this area and new methods should be worked out, aiming at the improvement of EOs’ pesticidal efficacy and cost-effectiveness, for future implementation in agricultural pest control.

Abstract:

Mentha species are well recognized for their medicinal and aromatic properties. The comprehensive metabolite profiles of nine Mentha species have been determined. The extracts of these Mentha species were also screened for antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities. Forty-seven hydrophilic and seventeen lipophilic compounds were identified and quantified from the selected Mentha species. Also, eleven phenolic compounds, riboflavin and eight carotenoids were present, and their composition and content varied among the various Mentha species. The different Mentha species exhibited a range of antioxidant potencies. Horse mint especially exhibited the strongest antioxidant capacities (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), hydrogen peroxide, and reducing power assay) among the nine Mentha species. A difference between different samples from the same species was not observed by multivariate analysis. A high correlation between metabolites involved in closely linked biosynthetic pathways has been indicated. The projection to latent structure method, using the partial least squares (PLS) method, was applied to predict antioxidant capacities based on the metabolite profiles of Mentha leaves. According to the PLS analysis, several carotenoid contents, such as E-β-carotene, 9Z-β-carotene, 13Z-β-carotene and lutein, as well as phenolic compounds, showed a positive relationship in reducing the power of Mentha extracts. Horse mint is a good candidate because of its high antioxidant efficacy among the nine Mentha species included in the study.

Abstract:

Field experiments showed that field mint (Mentha arvensis L.) could be controlled by using amino triazole or glyphosate applied where a crop was not present. Both herbicides gave comparable control with application at the six-leaf stage but, at the flowering stage, glyphosate was more effective than amino triazole, based on visual control rating in the year of application. Counts of regrowth shoots per square meter the next summer showed both herbicides to be equally effective in controlling field mint. Application at the flowering stage was more effective than at the six-leaf stage in one of the 2 yr of the study.

Abstract:

Mints emit diverse scents that exert specific biological functions and are relevance for applications. The current work strives to develop electronic noses that can electronically discriminate the scents emitted by different species of Mint as alternative to conventional profiling by gas chromatography. Here, 12 different sensing materials including 4 different metal oxide nanoparticle dispersions (AZO, ZnO, SnO2, ITO), one Metal Organic Frame as Cu(BPDC), and 7 different polymer films, including PVA, PEDOT:PSS, PFO, SB, SW, SG, and PB were used for functionalizing of Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) sensors. The purpose was to discriminate six economically relevant Mint species (Mentha x piperita, Mentha spicata, Mentha spicata ssp. crispa, Mentha longifolia, Agastache rugosa, and Nepeta cataria). The adsorption and desorption datasets obtained from each modified QCM sensor were processed by three different classification models, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and k-Nearest Neighbor Analysis (k-NN). This allowed discriminating the different Mints with classification accuracies of 97.2% (PCA), 100% (LDA), and 99.9% (k-NN), respectively. Prediction accuracies with a repeating test measurement reached up to 90.6% for LDA, and 85.6% for k-NN. These data demonstrate that this electronic nose can discriminate different Mint scents in a reliable and efficient manner.

Abstract:

Resistance gene analog (RGA) sequences were obtained from four Mentha longifolia (L.) Huds. accessions using degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers targeting the conserved nucleotide binding site domain found in many plant disease resistance genes. Seven distinct RGA families were identified. All M. longifolia RGAs showed similarity to sequences of the non-toll-interleukin 1 receptor R gene class. In addition, degenerate PCR primers based on the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) verticillium wilt resistance (Ve) genes were used to PCR-amplify a 445-base pair (bp) Ve-like sequence from M. longifolia that had ≈57% predicted amino acid identity with Ve. Mint-specific primers based on the original mint Ve sequence were used to obtain mint-specific Ve sequences from four M. longifolia accessions and from peppermint (Mentha ×piperita L.) cultivar ‘Black Mitcham’ that had 95% to 100% predicted amino acid identity to the original mint Ve sequence. Inverse PCR was then used to obtain flanking mint Ve sequence from one M. longifolia accession extending the mint Ve sequence to 1077 bp. This is the first report of RGA sequences in the Lamiaceae and the first report of Ve-like sequences obtained with degenerate PCR primers.

Abstract:

Mint is an industrial plant that is a good source of essential oil and many phenolic compounds that have several positive benefits to human health and can be used to prevent the development of many diseases. The aim of this research was to investigate the possibility of increasing essential oil and flavonoid content, changing the chemical composition of these compounds in different mint cultivars under foliar application with precursors (phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine) at two concentrations, 100 and 200 mg L−1, to enable the possibilities for wider use of these plants when they are grown in field conditions. Spraying with phenylalanine at 100 mg L−1 concentration increased essential oil content in Mentha piperita ‘Granada’ plants by 0.53 percentage units. Foliar application with tyrosine solutions at 100 mg L−1 concentration most effectively influenced the essential oil odor profile Mentha spicata ‘Crispa’. The highest number of total flavonoids was in Mentha piperita ‘Swiss’ sprayed with tyrosine at 100 mg L−1 concentration. The flavonoid content depended on the mint cultivar, amino acids, and their concentration. The results showed that the effect of amino acid solutions on different secondary metabolites’ quantitative and qualitative composition differed depending on the mint cultivar; therefore, amino acids and their concentrations must be selected based on the cultivar they are targeting.

Abstract:

It is shown wild-growing types of mint can be carriers of genes of frost resistance and resistance to rust which is caused by a mushroom of Puccinia menthae Pers. The method of interspecific hybridization with use of the cultivated types - Mentha piperita and Mentha canadensis L., and also wild-growing types - Mentha aquatica L., Mentha spicata L. and Mentha longifolia (L.) Nathh is perspective for creation of steady grades. Sustainability donors to a rust - M. canadensis K60 (4p) and K6 M. aquatica which in a wide range of combinations provide resistance to a rust of bulk of hybrid posterity have been revealed. Interspecific hybridization at mint at the corresponding selection of parental couples is a valuable method of creation of highly productive hybrids, steady against a rust (Puccinia menthae Pers) that has been shown.. Monogenic nature of inheritance of an immunity to Puccinia menthae Pers is confirmed and the genotype of the parental forms M. canadensis, M.aquatica, M.spicata is determined by S gene, Existence of prepotent (S) or recessive alleles (s) in homozygous (SS, SSSS, ss) or a heterozygotic state (Ss, SSss) expressiveness of this sign in hybrid posterity of F1 defines. It is established that in F1 of interspecific hybrids from crossing of an allopolyploid form of a pepper mint with frost resistance plants of M. spicata it is frost resistance sign inherited generally on intermediate type, however to 30 % of plants comes nearer on this sign to the frost-resistant parent. It indicates possibility of receiving interspecific hybrids with increased frost resistance at the specified type of crossings. For creation of hybrids with the increased frost resistance use in interspecific hybridization of the frost-resistant forms M. spicata K42, K65, the S1 and S2 lines received from self-pollination of K65 (2.8.I4, 9.37.34), and also a polyploidy of M. canadensis of K60 is perspective. The gene pool of wild-growing types and forms of mint in which the genotypes possessing genes of resistance to rust and the lowered temperatures are presented is created.

Abstract:

Unlike its aerial parts, the underground parts of Mentha have so far been studied only marginally. By examining the polyphenolic fingerprint, the antioxidant efficacy and the mutual antioxidant behaviour of mixtures of mint rhizomes, our study presents a modest contribution to addressing this gap. Firstly, we examined the composition of the mint rhizomes: Mentha × piperita cv. ‘Perpeta’ (MPP), M. longifolia (ML), and M. × villosa cv. ‘Snežna’ (MVS). Our LC-MS-DAD analysis revealed the presence of ten compounds belonging to groups of phenolic acids and flavonoids, of which the rosmarinic acid (RA) and lithospermic were most strongly represented. Secondly, we evaluated the antioxidant activity of rhizome infusions by DPPH and ABTS and on NIH/3T3 cell lines by DCFH-DA. Thirdly, we determined, examined, and explained the mutual interactions of rhizome infusions mixtures. While most of the combinations acted additive, synergy was observed in ternary infusion mixtures. The synergic action was also detected in the combination of MPP rhizome infusion and RA in the DCFH-DA test. The combinations of mint rhizomes and rosmarinic acid displayed a high dose-reduction index. This leads to beneficial dose reduction at a given antioxidant effect level in mixtures, compared to the dose of the parts used alone. So far, the pharmaceutical and food industry has not used mint rhizomes in commercial products. Hence, our study draws attention to further applications of the Mentha rhizomes as a valuable alternative source of natural antioxidants.

Abstract:

Medicinal plants and their derived compounds have drawn the attention of researchers due to their considerable impact on human health. Among medicinal plants, mint (Mentha species) exhibits multiple health beneficial properties, such as prevention from cancer development and anti-obesity, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and cardioprotective effects, as a result of its antioxidant potential, combined with low toxicity and high efficacy. Mentha species are widely used in savory dishes, food, beverages, and confectionary products. Phytochemicals derived from mint also showed anticancer activity against different types of human cancers such as cervix, lung, breast and many others. Mint essential oils show a great cytotoxicity potential, by modulating MAPK and PI3k/Akt pathways; they also induce apoptosis, suppress invasion and migration potential of cancer cells lines along with cell cycle arrest, upregulation of Bax and p53 genes, modulation of TNF, IL-6, IFN-γ, IL-8, and induction of senescence phenotype. Essential oils from mint have also been found to exert antibacterial activities against Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and many others. The current review highlights the antimicrobial role of mint-derived compounds and essential oils with a special emphasis on anticancer activities, clinical data and adverse effects displayed by such versatile plants.

Abstract:

Mentha arvensis or mint is a renowned medicinal and aromatic plant. It is annual plant and cultivated in the tropical and sub-tropical regions under irrigation. Its cultivation has significant importance, such as for food flavoring, medicinal applications, essential oil applications, and also using in traditional purposes. Its essential oil contains many components phenolic, aldehydes, ketones, and carbohydrates. Menthol is a fundamental component of Mentha arvensis essential oil. Menthol has also several industrial applications, especially in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and by-products. There are many types or variations of menthol found in Mentha arvensis depending on the species or cultivars as well as cultivation conditions, such as weather, irrigation, soil type, pruning, and other agronomical practices. It has interesting and valuable botany, morphology, and ecology. Its growth rate is strongly affected by the change of variables, such as pH, temperature, and nutritional values of soil. The extraction of essential oil and the post-harvest analysis are done by using traditional methods for Mentha arvensis oil production in developing countries. Research on oil extraction methods, maximizing yield per hectare, and optimum preservation are needed for the further, especially in post-harvest of mint leaves and roots.

Abstract:

In recent decades, plant bioactive phenolic compounds gained much attention due to their various health benefits. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze native Australian river mint (Mentha australis), bush mint (Mentha satureioides), sea parsley (Apium prostratum), and bush tomatoes (Solanum centrale) for their bioactive metabolites, antioxidant potential, and pharmacokinetics properties. LC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS was applied to elucidate these plants’ composition, identification, and quantification of phenolic metabolites. This study tentatively identified 123 phenolic compounds (thirty-five phenolic acids, sixty-seven flavonoids, seven lignans, three stilbenes, and eleven other compounds). Bush mint was identified with the highest total phenolic content (TPC—57.70 ± 4.57 mg GAE/g), while sea parsley contained the lowest total phenolic content (13.44 ± 0.39 mg GAE/g). Moreover, bush mint was also identified with the highest antioxidant potential compared to other herbs. Thirty-seven phenolic metabolites were semi-quantified, including rosmarinic acid, chlorogenic acid, sagerinic acid, quinic acid, and caffeic acid, which were abundant in these selected plants. The most abundant compounds’ pharmacokinetics properties were also predicted. This study will develop further research to identify these plants’ nutraceutical and phytopharmaceutical potential.

Abstract:

The objective of this research was to determine chemical composition and to evaluate the antifungal activity of essential oil of Mentha piperita. By the application of GC/MS analysis of essential mint oil, 27 components were identified. The major components were menthol (39.9 %), menton (23.51 %), menthyl acetate (7.29 %), 1.8-cineol (5.96 %), isomenton (5.24 %), isomenthol (3.17 %), trans-caryophyllene (2.88 %), limonene (2.14 %), pulegon (1.38 %), beta-pinene (1.14 %) and piperiton (1.03 %). The quantitative structure? retention relationship (QSRR) was employed to predict the retention time (RT) of Mentha piperita essential oil compounds obtained in GC/MS analysis, using twelve molecular descriptors selected by genetic algorithm. The selected descriptors were used, as inputs of an artificial neural network, to build an RT predictive QSRR model. The coefficient of determination was 0.983, during training cycle, indicating that this model could be used for prediction of RT values for essential oil compounds in Mentha piperita essential oil extracts. Essential oil of Mentha piperita showed antifungal activity on all tested isolates in the minimal inhibitory concentration range of 0.2?1.7 ?l/ml and a minimal fungicidal concentration (MFC) range of 1.7?454.5 ?l/ml. The most powerful antifungal activity of mint was observed in C. cladosporioides of MFC value 1.7 ?l/ml. P. aurantiogriseum showed the lowest sensitivity of MFC value 454.5 ?l/ml.

Abstract:

Colletotrichum coccodes (Wallr.) Hughes is a pathogen of tomato and potato and occurs worldwide on plants primarily from the Solanaceae. It has not been previously reported for Mentha. C. coccodes was isolated from rhizomes and lower portions of above ground stems of symptomless Mentha × piperita L. (peppermint) plants collected from commercial fields in central Washington and Wisconsin (central sands). Three isolates from mint were evaluated for pathogenicity on mint and potato. Rooted cuttings of eight plants each of M. × piperita, M. spicata L. (native spearmint), and M. × gracilis Sole (Scotch spearmint) were dipped into a conidial suspension (1 × 106 conidia per ml) of each isolate of C. coccodes for 10 min. Plants were transplanted into a sterilized potting mix and moved to a greenhouse. After 50, 90, and 185 days, pieces of rhizomes and roots were thoroughly washed in running water, soaked in 1.5% NaOCl for 7 min, and plated on NPX agar medium (1). C. coccodes was reisolated from 25 of 36 plants at 50 days, 14 of 18 plants at 90 days, and 10 of 18 plants at 185 days. Disease symptoms were not observed on roots, rhizomes, or aboveground plant parts. C. coccodes was not isolated from rhizomes and roots of eight noninoculated plants of each mint species. In pathogenicity tests on potato, the isolates from mint produced cortical root rotting and sclerotia on cv. Russet Burbank and did not differ in their aggressiveness from three potato isolates. (Conidial suspensions at 106 were applied to soil surface of potted plants at 10 cm of shoot growth and assessed for disease severity at plant maturity.) All tests were repeated with similar results. Mint is often rotated with potato in central Washington and appears to be a bridging host for C. coccodes. Reference: (1) E. J. Butterfield and J. E. DeVay. Phytopathology 67:1073, 1977.

Abstract:

In this study, Mint (Mentha Spicata L.) was used as a source of natural antioxidant in the preparation of biscuits with optimized levels of different forms of mint (powder, extract and pure menthol). The biscuits were stored for five months packed in unit pouches of metalized polyester/poly laminated pouch at room temperature and tested periodically for sensory parameters. The stability of biscuit lipids were studied by determining free fatty acid, peroxide value, thiobarbituric acid value and total antioxidant capacity. In sensory evaluation, pure menthol (MNT-M) scored higher (p< 0.05) panel score than mint powder (MNT-P) and mint extract (MNT-E) biscuits. The antioxidative activity of mint biscuits was compared with that of biscuit incorporated with Butylated hydroxyl anisole (BHA) initially as well as at the end of five months. The results indicated that mint powder had shown good antioxidant property as natural antioxidant along with other chemical parameters in biscuits, which were quite comparable with BHA biscuits.

AbstractMentha (Nepetoideae, Lamiaceae) is a taxonomically complex genus consisting of 29 species and 11 different hybrids including a number of economically important species among them medical plants used for more than 250 years. Because of its high incidence of polyploidy, diverse morphology, high degree of chromosome number variations and interspecies hybridization, Mentha is considered to be a taxonomical challenge. In this paper, we describe cloning and sequencing of internal transcribed spacers (ITS) 1 and 2 of three mint species: Mentha aquatic L., Mentha longifolia L. (Huds) and Mentha piperita L., collected from natural habitats of Bulgaria. The applicability of ITS1 and ITS2 for molecular fingerprinting and further comparative studies, including the newly obtained ITS1 and ITS2 sequences, was tested in phylogenetic analysis of all eight Mentha species, found in Bulgarian flora.

Abstract:

Genus Mentha, a member of Lamiaceae family, encompasses a series of species used on an industrial scale and with a well-described and developed culture process. Extracts of this genus are traditionally used as foods and are highly valued due to the presence of significant amounts of antioxidant phenolic compounds. Many essential oil chemotypes show distinct aromatic flavor conferred by different terpene proportions. Mint extracts and their derived essential oils exert notable effects against a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi or yeasts, tested both in vitro or in various food matrices. Their chemical compositions are well-known, which suggest and even prompt their safe use. In this review, genus Mentha plant cultivation, phytochemical analysis and even antimicrobial activity are carefully described. Also, in consideration of its natural origin, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, a special emphasis was given to mint-derived products as an interesting alternative to artificial preservatives towards establishing a wide range of applications for shelf-life extension of food ingredients and even foodstuffs. Mentha cultivation techniques markedly influence its phytochemical composition. Both extracts and essential oils display a broad spectrum of activity, closely related to its phytochemical composition. Therefore, industrial implementation of genus Mentha depends on its efficacy, safety and neutral taste.

Abstract:

Phenolic compounds have a number of benefits to human health and can be used as preventive compounds for the development of some chronic diseases. Mentha plants are not only a good source of essential oils, but also contain significant levels of wide range of phenolic compounds. The aim of this research was to investigate the possibility to increase phenols content in Mentha plants under the foliar application with L-phenylalanine, L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine at two concentrations (100 mg L−1 and 200 mg L−1) and to create preconditions for using this plant for even more diverse purposes. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of phenols in mints were performed by HPLC method. Foliar application of amino acids increased the total phenol content from 1.22 to 3.51 times depending on the treatment and mint variety. The most pronounced foliar application to total phenols content was tryptophane especially in Mentha piperita “Swiss”. Mentha piperita “Swiss” was affected most by foliar application and the amount of total phenolic acids depending on the treatment ranged from 159.25 to 664.03 mg 100 g−1 (DW), respectively, non-sprayed and sprayed with tryptophane 100 mg L−1. Our results suggest that the biophenol content varies according to such factors as foliar application and variety, and every single mint variety has individual response to different applications of amino acids.

Abstract:

Natural occurrence ofCucumber mosaic virusinfecting water mint (Mentha aquatica) in Antalya and Konya, TurkeyAvirus causing a disease in mint (the aromatic and culinary plant) has recently become a problem in the Taurus Mountains, a mountain range in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. To detect the virus and investigate its distribution in the region, mint leaf samples were collected from the vicinity of spring areas in the plateaus of Antalya and Konya in 2009. It was found that Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was detected in 27.08% of symptomatic samples tested by DAS-ELISA. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of CMV on mint plants in this region of Turkey.

Abstract:

Food with functional properties have sparked consumer interest due to health benefits. In this work, mint and blueberry were chosen to be added to chocolate as a source of bioactive compounds because they have functional properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physical-chemical characteristics (color, moisture content, water activity, acidity, viscosity and pH) and antioxidant properties by the DPPH method of bitter, white and milk chocolate, added with blueberry peel and seeds and hydro-alcoholic mint extract in concentrations of 3 and 0.3%, respectively. Regarding color parameters, the greatest differences were observed in samples containing blueberry. The moisture content and viscosity of chocolate tend to decrease with the presence of mint and blueberry, while water activity tends to increase for bitter and white chocolate. The pH of milk chocolate decreased with the addition of mint and blueberry, while the acidity of milk chocolate increased, as long as for bitter chocolate it decreased and for white chocolate it did not change. Regarding the antioxidant activity, the concentrations of blueberry and mint used were not effective in increasing this property. Therefore, higher concentrations are needed to improve chocolate functional properties.

Abstract:

The present study consisted in evaluating the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective properties of ethanolic extracts from three mint species (Mentha spicata L. (MS), Mentha pulegium L. (MP) and Mentha rotundifolia (L.) Huds (MR)) with biochemical methods on murine RAW 264.7 macrophages (a transformed macrophage cell line isolated from ascites of BALB/c mice infected by the Abelson leukemia virus). The total phenolic, flavonoid and carotenoid contents were determined with spectrophotometric methods. The antioxidant activities were quantified with the Kit Radicaux Libres (KRLTM), the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays. The MS extract showed the highest total phenolic content, and the highest antioxidant capacity, while the MR extract showed the lowest total phenolic content and the lowest antioxidant capacity. The cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory activities of the extracts were quantified on murine RAW 264.7 macrophages treated with 7-ketocholesterol (7KC; 20 µg/mL: 50 µM) associated or not for 24 h and 48 h with ethanolic mint extracts used at different concentrations (25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 µg/mL). Under treatment with 7KC, an important inhibition of cell growth was revealed with the crystal violet test. This side effect was strongly attenuated in a dose dependent manner with the different ethanolic mint extracts, mainly at 48 h. The most important cytoprotective effect was observed with the MS extract. In addition, the effects of ethanolic mint extracts on cytokine secretion (Interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein (MCP)-1, Interferon (IFN)-ϒ, Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α) were determined at 24 h on lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 0.2 µg/mL)-, 7KC (20 µg/mL)- and (7KC + LPS)-treated RAW 264.7 cells. Complex effects of mint extracts were observed on cytokine secretion. However, comparatively to LPS-treated cells, all the extracts strongly reduce IL-6 secretion and two of them (MP and MR) also decrease MCP-1 and TNF-α secretion. However, no anti-inflammatory effects were observed on 7KC- and (7KC + LPS)-treated cells. Altogether, these data bring new evidences on the potential benefits (especially antioxidant and cytoprotective properties) of Algerian mint on human health.

Abstract:

While characterizing the agents involved in symptomatology of a variegated mint, Mentha × gracilis ‘Variegata’, a nursery plant with atypical symptoms was examined. This plant, unlike ‘Variegata’, did not exhibit yellow vein banding symptoms but instead had distorted and crinkled leaves. Molecular tests for the three viruses found in ‘Variegata’ clones failed to detect any of these viruses in the plant. Double-stranded RNA was extracted and cloned, disclosing the presence of two unknown viruses. One of the viruses was a novel member of the family Closteroviridae. The complete nucleotide sequence of the virus, designated as Mint virus 1, has been obtained. A detection test was developed, and revealed the presence of the virus in several other mint clones and species. Genomic regions from three additional isolates were examined to investigate the genetic diversity of the virus. Genome and phylogenetic analysis placed Mint virus 1 in the genus Closterovirus and transmission studies have identified the mint aphid, Ovatus crataegarius, as a vector for this new member of the genus Closterovirus.

Abstract:

The essential oils of fresh, shade-dried, sun-dried, and oven-dried mint of Mentha haplocalyx Brig., and the shade-dried herbs after one hour of soaking were analyzed by GC-MS to provide a scientific basis to regulate the drying methods. Fifty-nine compounds were isolated and identified, including 35 from fresh herbs, 25 from shade-dried herbs, 23 from sun-dried herbs, 17 from oven-dried herbs and 48 from shade-dried mint after one hour of soaking. Eighteen compounds were common to all five samples, including menthol, menthone, and isomenthone, which were the main components. Several of these significantly decreased in shade-dried mint soaked in water. Thus in cleaning and drying processes soaking mint in water should be avoided as far as possible, in case major components are extracted thus producing an inferior product that will undermine its curative effect.

Abstract:

This study was investigates the effects of row ratio and planting methods on the cultivation of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and mentha (Mentha arvensis L.). Mentha is also called Japanese mint, it is an important essential oil-bearing plant of the family Lamiaceae. Essential oil obtained from the leaves used in aromatherapy, flavour, and pharmaceutical industries. Hence, a field experiment was conducted during 2016-17 at the Soil Conservation and Water Management Farm to investigate the response of mentha when intercropped with wheat under various row ratios and planting methods. The trial was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications keeping one variety of Mentha ‘Shivalik’& Wheat ‘Halna’. The experiment consisting of nine treatments are T1:Sole Mentha direct sowing (50 cm apart), T2:sole mentha transplanting (50 cm apart), T3:sole wheat (25 cm apart), T4:wheat+mentha (1:1), T5:wheat+mentha (1:1), T6:wheat+mentha (2:2), T7:wheat+mentha (2:2), T8:wheat paired+mentha (2:3), T9: wheat paired+mentha (2:3). The results showed that the highest number of leaves per plant (457 at maturity) and number of branches per plant (80.97 at 90 DAS) were observed in Wheat Paired+Mentha (T9). The sole wheat (T3) exhibited the maximum number of tillers per plant in wheat (6.20). wheat+mentha (T4) had the highest yield attributes for wheat. The higher herbage yield of mentha (177 q/ha) was found in wheat+mentha (T7). Sole Mentha direct sowing (T1) gave the highest oil content (0.85%) and oil yield (163.35 l/ha) of mentha. The wheat paired+mentha (T8) recorded the highest equivalent oil yield (189.97 l/ha) and land equivalent ratio (1.50). However, sole wheat (T3) yielded the maximum grain yield (39.80 q/ha), straw yield (74.52 q/ha), and harvesting index (38.95%).

Abstract:

Background: Emesis gravidarum is a feeling of nausea that appears in pregnant women, especially in the morning. Pregnant women experience nausea, vomiting, 2% in the morning, 80% throughout the day and 18% progress to delivery. In Indonesia, there are 50-75% cases of nausea and vomiting experienced by pregnant women. The cause is an increase in the hormones estrogen, progesterone and the secretion of hCG. The content in ginger (Zingiber OffIcinale) and mint leaves (Mentha Piperrita L) can reduce the incidence of emesis gravidarum thereby preventing bad health conditions of pregnant women that interfere with fetal growth and development. Purpose: To know the effectiveness of giving ginger and mint leaves to reduce emesis gravidarum for pregnant women. Methods: The research method used is the Quasy Experiment method with the Two Group Pre and Post-Test Design approach. The population of first trimester pregnant women is 60 people. The number of samples in each group was 4 women using the 2 free sample formula and purposive sampling technique. The results of the normal distribution test with the Saphiro Wilk test, the data are normally distributed so that it uses the paired t-test and the independent t-test. Results: Based on the univariate test, it was found that the average before infusion of ginger was 9.25 and 5.25 after being given steeped ginger. On average, before being given the mint leaf steeped was 10.0 and after being given the mint leaf steeped was 7.00. Based on the paired t-test, it was found that the p-value of steeped ginger was 0.011 <0.05, while the p-value of steeped mint leaves was 0.024 <0.05. Based on the independent t-test, it was found that the effectiveness of giving steeped ginger and mint leaves was p-value 0.013 <0.05. Conclusion: Ginger and mint leaves statistically alleviate emesis gravidarum in the first trimester of pregnancy. Midwives could suggest the women to consume ginger and mint leaves as alternative or complementary treatment of emesis gravidarum.
