L. (summer savory) is an annual herbaceous crop, native to Europe and in our days spread and used all over the world. Although its use as spice and medicinal plant is known since ancient times, peer-reviewed studies presenting the scientific data are scarce. The natural products obtained from summer savory (extracts and essential oil) are dominated by polyphenols and flavonoids, responsible for their antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, pesticidal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, hepatoprotective and anticancer properties, among others. The current study presents the progress made in the last decade regarding the potential applications of summer savory, being the first review study focused on in the same time suggesting future research opportunities, as they appear from the properties of other species. The available data presenting the properties of summer savory represents a scientific support for application in industry, for developing "clean label" food products.
L.（香薄荷）是一种一年生草本植物，原产于欧洲，如今已在世界各地广泛种植和使用。尽管自古以来人们就知道它可以用作香料和药用植物，但很少有经过同行评审的研究报告提供科学数据。从香薄荷中获得的天然产物（提取物和精油）主要由多酚和类黄酮组成，这些物质具有抗氧化、抗菌、抗寄生虫、杀虫、抗炎、镇痛、保肝和抗癌等特性。本研究总结了过去十年中有关香薄荷潜在应用的进展，这是第一篇同时关注香薄荷属其他种特性的综述研究，同时提出了未来的研究机会。现有的香薄荷特性数据为在工业中应用提供了科学依据，可用于开发“清洁标签”食品。
