Ce travail vise l’étude de la composition chimique, de l’activité antioxydante et antimicrobienne de l’huile essentielle (HE) de Brocchia cinerea d’Algérie vis-à-vis de trois bactéries, d’un champignon. L’analyse chromatographique (CG/SM) a montré que l’HE de Brocchia cinerea est caractérisée par la présence du Beta.-Thujone (46,80), 1-Methyl-2-(1'-methylethenyl)-3'- ethenylcyclopropylmethanol (14,59) et du 1,8-Cineole (12,63), limonen-10-ol (9,47), accompagnés d’autres composés à des teneurs relativement faibles : 1(7),3,8-oMenthatriene (3,45), (-)-Camphor (2,11). L’activité antioxydante déterminée par le test DPPH a montré que l’HE présente un faible potentiel antioxydant avec l’IC 50 = 6652 μg/ml et IC 50 = 140.53 par FRAP, en comparaison à d’autres espèces de la famille des Asteraceae. Aux concentrations étudiées, l’essence a manifesté une forte activité antibactérienne et antifongique. Cette bioactivité est due principalement à la richesse de cette essence en Beta.-Thujone connu pour son efficacité contre les agents microbiens.

Several recipes based on PLA, bio-plasticizers, and active agents such as vitamin E and cold-pressed rosehip seed oil encapsulated into chitosan by the emulsion method named here as chitosan modified (CS-M) were elaborated by melt compounding for food packaging applications. Resulted biocomposites have been investigated from the point of view of physical-mechanical, thermal, barrier, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties to select the formulations with the optimum features to produce food trays and films for packaging applications. The obtained results showed that the elaborated formulations exhibit tensile strength and flexibility dependent on their composition being either rigid or flexible, as well as antimicrobial and antioxidant activity, which will potentially lead to prolonged use for food packaging. The recipe with PLA matrix and 40:60 Lapol®108 as masterbarch/polyethylene glycol (MB/PEG) bio-plasticizers ratio was distinguished by an improvement of over 100 times in terms of flexibility compared with neat PLA, while the highest antioxidant activity (36.27%) was recorded for the sample containing a CS-M and MB/PEG ratio of 60:40. An enhancement of ~50% for the water vapor barrier was recorded for PLA/CS-M_100:0 material. By modulating the MB and PEG bio-plasticizers ratio, the design of new eco-friendly food packaging materials with antimicrobial/antioxidant characteristics by using the existing technologies for processing synthetic polymers (melt mixing, compounding, pressing, thermoforming) has been successfully realized.

Oilseed pumpkin seeds are known to be rich in oil and nutrients. Their content in bioactive components gives them some assets that make them beneficial for human health. Although commonly consumed as a snack, pumpkin seeds are ready to claim more uses. The identification of pumpkin species is a major resource in this study. Thus, we worked with three pumpkin species: Cucurbita maxima (CMa), Cucurbita moschata (CMo) and Cucurbita pepo (CP). The species effect on the chemical composition, the content of bioactive compounds and the antioxidant activity was studied. As a result, the analysis of pumpkin seed oil revealed a polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) content ranging from 52.23% to 57.65%. Our study also revealed that this oil was a good source of phenolic compounds, in particular CMa with a value of 27.52 mg gallic acid equivalents per gram of methanolic extract and 633.51 mg/kg of total tocopherols, which gives it a very strong antioxidant character. In addition, it showed a high antioxidant potency (126.20 ± 20.44) μg/ml for CMa. In this respect, it can be said that the species effect can be a very important factor influencing the nutritional quality of pumpkin seed oil.
