Harnessing the bioactive potential of Limonium spathulatum (Desf.) Kuntze: insi...
Youssef, Seria; Custódio, Luísa; Rodrigues, Maria João; Pereira, Catarina; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Jekő, József; Cziáky, Zoltán; Ben Hamed, KarimThis study assessed the halophyte species <i>Limonium spathulatum</i> (Desf.) as a possible source of natural ingredients with the capacity to inhibit enzymes related to relevant human health disorders and food browning. Extracts using food-grade solvents such as water and ethanol were prepared by maceration from dried <i>L. spathulatum</i> leaves. They were evaluated for in vitro inhibition activity of enzymes...

Youssef, Seria; Custódio, Luísa; Rodrigues, Maria João; Pereira, Catarina; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Pinela, José; Barros, Lillian; Jekő, JózsefThis work explored the nutritional and antioxidant properties of the leaves of the halophytic species Limonium spathulatum (Desf.) Kuntze from Tunisian sea cliffs. Furthermore, the analysis of the total phenolics and flavonoids contents and their individual compounds using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) were also studied. L. spathul...
Application of In Vitro plant tissue culture techniques to halophyte species: A...
L, Custódio; Charles, Gilbert; Magné, Christian; Barba-Espín, Gregorio; Piqueras, Abel; Hernández, José A.; Ben Hamed, Karim; Castañeda-Loaiza, VianaHalophytes are plants able to thrive in environments characterized by severe abiotic conditions, including high salinity and high light intensity, drought/flooding, and temperature fluctuations. Several species have ethnomedicinal uses, and some are currently explored as sources of food and cosmetic ingredients. Halophytes are considered important alternative cash crops to be used in sustainable saline producti...
