Potential Antioxidant and Antiviral Activities of Hydroethanolic Extracts of Selected Lamiaceae Species Duque Soto, Carmen María Borras Linares, María Isabel Quirantes Piné, Rosa Segura Carretero, Antonio Lozano Sánchez, Jesús Phenolic compounds Polyphenols Medicinal and aromatic plants HPLC-MS Antioxidant activity Antiviral activity Lamiaceae Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are potential sources of natural bioactive phytochemical compounds of an incredible worth for the food industry, such as polyphenols. Lamiaceae medicinal and aromatic plants from Granada’s high plateau, concretely Origanum bastetanum, Thymus zygis gracilis, Thymus longiflorus, Thymus membranaceus and Ziziphora hispanica, were evaluated under different conventional solid–liquid extraction conditions to obtain extracts enriched in bioactive compounds. Phenolic profile was detected by HPLC-QTOF-MS, identifying a high abundance of bioactive constituents. Furthermore, antioxidant and antiviral activities of the mentioned plants were studied as biological properties of interest for the improvement of food shelf-life. Thus, Origanum bastetanum showed the highest antioxidant potential for all assays. Antiviral activity was also tested against some important foodborne viruses, feline calicivirus (FCV), murine norovirus (MNV) and hepatitis A virus (HAV), with the highest activity obtained for Ziziphora hispanica, Thymus longiflorus and Origanum bastetanum. This research proposes the studied plants as rich sources of bioactive compounds with potential use as preservatives in the food industry. 2022-07-29T07:17:57Z 2022-07-29T07:17:57Z 2022-06-24 journal article Duque-Soto, C...
