One strategy used to discover new drugs for therapeutic use is the study of natural products. Rose Geranium, P. graveolens,is a plant that has long been used in traditional medicine for its many medicinal benefits. In this study, we present the first phytochemical study of Pelargonium graveolenscultived in Souk Ahras, Algeria. The volatile profile...
Earthworms are suggested as bio-indicators of biodiversity and soil quality. This work aims to evaluate the combined and individual environmental impact of cadmium nitrates (Cd-NO2) and mercuric chloride (HgCl2) on an invertebrate of the worm family (Aporrectodea trapezoides) commonly used as a biological model for toxicological studies. Here, eart...
Ethnobotanical surveys were conducted in Souk Ahras, focusing on traditional knowledge of medicinal plants among local populations. Between 2021 and 2022, a total of 200 informants from the town center were interviewed using a combination of knowledge interviews and field visits. Data collected included socio-demographic information and traditional...
Earthworms are valuable soil invertebrate mainly used to monitor environmental quality. Thus, the present study was undertaken to provide insights on the individual and combined toxicological effects of two commonly used pesticides in Souk Ahras city (Northeast Algeria), namely Valette (fungicide) and Oscar (herbicide) on a soil invertebrate–earthw...
The quantitative and qualitative analysis of honey components is the object of this study. These analyses are considered a physicochemical and melissopalynological tool that allows the study of some characteristics of honey. The analysis of ten (10) samples of Algerian honey is carried out to determine the pH, water content, electrical conductivity...
The effluents derived from the processing of table olives stand for a serious environmental problem. The study aims to valorize the brine water of table olives at different stages of ripening (green and black) of the Algerian variety Sigoise of Bejaia (East) and Mascara (West). The physico‐chemical characterization revealed that these samples displ...
The table olive industry produces a large amount of wastewater that can be expensive to be treated and harmful to the environment. This study aimed to find a way to reuse brine water from the production of black and green table olive brines from Bejaia and Mascara of the Sigoise cultivar in order to create a valuable byproduct and con-tribute to su...
This study aimed to estimate two different types of Algerian honey: antioxidant contents (total phenols and vitamin C), and levels of antioxidant (DPPH assay) and reducing activity (FRAP assay). Honey samples were characterized by high content of total phenols (314.231 ± 281.346 – 394.231 ± 155.835 mg AG 100 g-1) and low vitamin C values (0.25 ± 0....
The diversity of airborne pollen grains in El-Hadjar town (northeast Algeria) was measured for 1 year, from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013, by means of the gravimetric method using Durham apparatus. The total number of pollen grains/cm(2) was calculated from slides that were changed daily. This aerobiological study documented the air concentration o...
The pollen allergy or hay fever (pollinosis), is a seasonal disease associated with the presence of pollen grains of some anemophilous species which is abundant in the air. In the Med iterranean region, it affects more than 10 % of the population. To study the pollen counts of Casuarina genus (Casuarinaceae) in the atmosphere of Sidi Amar (South An...
