Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of Turkey

Part of the book series: Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the World ((MAPW,volume 10))

Abstract

Türkiye is one of the gene centers of medicinal and aromatic trees such as laurel, sumac, hawthorn, and carob. Laurel leaves, with their antiseptic and antibacterial properties and sumac extracts, with their antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal properties, and DNA-protective effects are very popular. The flower, leaf, and fruit extracts of the hawthorn are used for cardiovascular, hypertension, and diabetic diseases. Carob products for hemoglobin, cough, diabetes, and gall bladder diseases. Oleic acid and lauric acid are obtained from bay laurel berries. The main component of bay laurel leaf essential oil is 1,8-cineole. Since sumac oil has a high monounsaturated fatty acid content, it is more resistant to oxidative deterioration and can be stored for a longer time. Hawthorn fruits, leaves, and flowers contain a number of chemical constituents, such as flavonoids, oligomeric proanthocyanidins, triterpene acids, organic acids, sterols, and cardioactive amines. The dry matter of the carob fruit contains a high amount of sugar (more than 50%). In the future, it is expected that the interest will increase in the extracts and drugs of these species, as they are rich sources of bioactive compounds that have positive effects on human health.
