Pharmacological and Nutritional Properties of <i>Rosmarinus officinalis/i>: A Comprehensive Review
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Rosmarinus officinalis, commonly called rosemary is an aromatic plant native to the Mediterranean region. It has been employed in traditional medicine for its diverse therapeutic benefits. Contemporary research has validated its pharmacological potentials, attributing its efficacy to its rich phytochemical profile. This review explores the pharmacological and nutritional properties of rosemary, with particular focus on its bioactive compounds, including carnosic acid, carnosol, and rosmarinic acid. A comprehensive literature search across multiple databases yielded a robust dataset on the composition and biological activities of rosemary. The nutritional profile, encompassing essential oils, flavonoids, triterpenic acids, vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients, was meticulously examined. In addition, the review elucidated advanced extraction techniques for optimal bioactive compound recovery. By unraveling the mechanisms underlying the health-promoting effects of rosemary, this study provided adequate information that could guide the clinical applications and nutritional use of rosemary especially within the context of functional foods.
