Biological and phytochemical evaluation of methanolic extracts from pennyroyal and lavender species of the portuguese flora. In MESMAP8 - Eighth International Mediterranean Symposium on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants. İzmir.http://hdl.handle.net/10198/27073Medicinal and aromatic plants represent a healthier alternative to synthetic phenolic compounds, with a positive impact on therapeutic, aromatic and dietetic or gastronomic purposes. The in vitro biological activities of the phenolic compounds are an important parameter to select the most promising extracts for use in industrial applications. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant, antibacterial and cytotoxicity properties of 17 pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium L.) and 18 lavender (Lavandula pedunculata L.) accessions from the Portuguese flora, conserved in the Portuguese Genebank (BPGV), in order to select the accessions with the highest yield and high content of active ingredients for use in the different industrial sectors.engMedicinal plantsAromatic plantsconference poster
