Snake melons (Cucumis melo var. flexuosus L. Naudin) are heirloom monoecious cucurbits that are mostly cultivated and distributed in the old world tropics and subtropics. Immature fruit are typically eaten raw or pickled, particularly in Mediterranean countries, where they have been prized for their crisp texture, refreshing qualities and non-sweet...

In the current study, the chemical composition, antioxidant, α-glucosidase, α-amylase and cholinesterase inhibitory activities of wormwood and rosemary essential oils were investigated. In order to explain the interaction of chemical constituents with the enzymes, molecular docking tools were used. GC/MS analyses revealed that the main compounds of...

Undoubtedly, natural products with bioactive components such as fruits and berries from the Mediterranean areas are largely appreciated and highly consumed around the world due to their significance as possible novel therapeutical agents, with immense medicinal properties and a possible profound effect on health. According to epidemiological inform...

Ethnobotanical investigation was carried out using questionnaires among majority of El Kala (Algeria) inhabitants. The investigation found that lentisk (Pistacia lentiscus L.) is widely used in traditional therapy, especially in gastrointestinal and dermatological problems. Bioactive phytochemicals were determined by LC-MS/MS, and 14, 13, and 12 co...

The purpose of this review is to provide comprehensive scientific information on Talghouda (Bunium fontanesii), the geographical distribution, botanical description, its chemistry, pharmacological properties of species are stated. As much data on B. fontanesii was gathered using several scientific search engines as: Google Scholar, Science Direct,...

The water is a precious natural resource and vital for the living beings, the increasing water demand for irrigation or feeding, have made necessary the construction of a great number of dams that require an excellent physicochemical quality. The objective of our work is to evaluate the seasonal water quality of Mexa dam (Eastern Algeria) during fo...

Legume seeds are known to be a source of protein, vitamins, essential organic minerals and fatty acids. Their high protein content makes them a valuable natural and inexpensive alternative to the soybean. Seeds fatty acids of genotypes belonging to nine Vicia L. taxa collected in Algeria were extracted by Soxhlet and their composition was determine...

Lamiaceae is a family comprising 236 genera, and more than 7000 species. It is one of the most widely used and phytochemically studied families, because of their various compounds.Lamiaceae can be divided into two major categories, the first one includes all those species that mainly produce volatile terpenoids, found in the volatile compounds, suc...

This study aims to investigate the chemical composition of essential oils (EOs) extracted from the aerial parts of Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium L.) and lemon peels (Citrus limon L.) and evaluate the fumigant toxicity and repellency against the most important and destructive stored product beetle in Algeria (T. confusum). Chemical analysis of the ess...

Stachys species have traditionally been used by the people for thousands of years to treat various diseases. In this study, the chemical composition and enzyme inhibitory activities of the various extracts of Stachys ger-manica subsp. heldreichii (Boiss.) Hayek (Lamiaceae), which were isolated using solvents with different polarities , were investi...
