The main goal of this work was to study the genetic erosion risk plants with aromatic, medicinal and gastronomic applications in Portugal, particularly Alentejo region. target species were coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), hart's pennyroyal (Mentha cervina L.) pulegium L.). methodology involved direct observations surveys (2002/2003 2011). GE formula applied Hammer's studies used estimate erosion. factors causing primary drivers biodiversity loss: habitat loss, invasive species,...
Coriandrum sativum L. and Foeniculum vulgare Mill. are two aromatic medicinal Apiaceae species commonly grown in Portugal, whose essential oils (EOs) used the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics industries. The present study evaluated EOs isolated from fruits vegetative aerial parts (VAPs) of 11 samples 19 plant material was experimental fields, after collection several regions mainland Portugal. were by hydrodistillation analyzed gas chromatography chromatography-mass spectrometry. coriander...
Coriander is a medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP) traditionally cultivated used in Alentejo, Portugal. However, few publications are available about its ethnobotanical applications. Four independent surveys were carried out: throughout the region (2002–2003), three villages (2013), city markets (2007 2022). was most common fresh MAP (75% of total area) also representative herb markets. The leaves, mostly, or frozen transformed piso. Some recipes have agro-industrial potential, such as piso...
Origanum vulgare L. is a well-known aromatic and medicinal plant, whose essential oil (EO) has recognised flavouring properties. In this study, subsp. virens (Hoffmanns. & Link) Ietsw. EOs, isolated from accessions grown in experimental fields, were evaluated. The plant material was rooted cuttings or nutlets (fruits), originally collected 20 regions mainland Portugal harvesting for EO isolation performed two years. EOs by hydrodistillation analysed gas chromatography chromatography-mass...
Stem cuttings rooting depends greatly on favourable conditions of temperature and humidity the substrate air. The main goal this study was to evaluate growth stem several medicinal aromatic plant species (MAP) at shelter located in green spaces ESAE with an expeditious watering system, using 3 daily periods; that can be commonly found MAP farms beginning activity. trials took place between April July 2015. Three different types (each four repetitions 10 cuttings) for each were prepared....

In this study, we tested three foodstuffs, complementary to the traditional breeding system (montanheira): a commercial foodstuff, cereal (triticale) and mixture of triticale, oats soybean meal. Each foodstuff was given Alentejano pigs in order supply following digestible energy contents daily: 4250 kcal between 30 40 kg live weight; increasing thereafter until reaching 6800 at 60-70 then progressively decreasing 4800 kcal, 90-100 weight. After analysing results, found positive...
Origanum vulgare L. sustainable cultivation should be promoted in order to reduce genetic erosion risk caused by harvest nature. The main goal of this study was respond the request a farmer from Elvas region, focusing on assessment adaptation six accessions, three spontaneous Alto Alentejo (OV1, OV2, OV3) and commercial (OVT1, OVT2, OVT3). Plant propagation carried out stem cuttings for accessions seed accessions. Using material cutting vegetative trial out, using softwood (tip intermediate)...
