Article Abstract
Although people's interest in green and healthy plant-based products and natural active ingredients in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries is steadily increasing, medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) represent a niche crop type.It is possible to increase cultivation and sales of MAPs, by utilizing plant components that are usually discarded. This chapter provides an overview of studies concerning material flows and methods used for sustainable production of valuable metabolites from MAPs between 2018 and 2023. Additionally, it describes new developments and strategies for extraction and isolation, as well as innovative applications. In order to use these valuable resources almost completely, a systematic recycling of the plant material is recommended. This would be a profitable way to increase sustainability in the cultivation and usage of MAPs and provide new opportunities for extraction in plant science.

Hanseniaspora species are among the most prevalent yeasts found on grapes and other fruits, with a growing role in wine fermentation due to their distinctive metabolic profiles. This review focuses on the functional divergence within the genus, particularly between the fast-evolving fruit clade and the slow-evolving fermentation clade. While species in the fruit clade often exhibit limited fermentation capacity with interesting enzymatic activity, members of the fermentation clade-especially H.

Consumption of mango has been associated with a number of beneficial effects on health which have been attributed to phenolic catabolites originating from (poly)phenols following ingestion. To investigate the origins of potentially bioactive phenolic catabolites, ileostomists and subjects with a full gastrointestinal tract on a low(poly)phenol diet ingested a mango pulp purée containing 426 μmol of (poly)phenols consisting mainly of gallotannins and cinnamic acids, along with 231 μmol of the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. Over a 24 h period post-mango intake plasma and urine were collected and analysed by UHPLC-HRMS.

Covering: up to April 2025Bacterial aromatic polyketides represent a notable class of natural products that have found extensive applications in clinical treatments. In their biosynthesis, oxidative rearrangements represent critical transformations that typically afford diverse scaffolds, structural rigidity, and biological activities. In this context, it is evident that redox enzymes are frequently implicated in various rearrangement processes, whereby they facilitate the transformation of pathway precursors into mature natural products.

Locoism refers to a neurological disorder in livestock caused by chronic ingestion of locoweeds, which contain toxic alkaloid swainsonine produced by the fungus . Therefore, reducing swainsonine levels not only prevents locoism but may also transform these toxic plants into animal feed. In this study, we identified a pivotal role for the gene in swainsonine biosynthesis.

Background: Prospective studies suggest that prenatal exposure to chemical neurotoxicants and maternal stress increase risk for psychiatric problems. However, most studies have focused on childhood outcomes, leaving adolescence-a critical period for the emergence or worsening of psychiatric symptoms-relatively understudied. The complexity of prenatal coexposures and adolescent psychiatric comorbidities, particularly among structurally marginalized populations with high exposure burdens, remains poorly understood.
