Marine macroalgae are a suitable source of ingredients due to their huge diversity, availability and nutritional and chemical composition. Their high content in proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins, but also in secondary metabolites such as phenolic compounds, terpenoids or pigments, make them great candidates for industrial applications. The cosmetic industry is one of the biggest in the world and the search for new ingredients is constantly growing as the consumer trend now is going back to those traditional cosmetics with a more natural composition. Moreover, the concept of a circular economy is also gaining importance due to the unsustainable situation of the natural resources. Although macroalgae are already used in cosmetics, especially as thickening and gelling agents, they possess an unexplored potential, not only as excipients and additives but also as a source of new active ingredients. In this context, macroalgae are considered in many cases as resources still underexploited and they could even be obtained from the waste of other industrial sectors and be used for recovering active molecules. Therefore, the aim of this review is to compile information about the different macroalgae metabolites and their possible applications in the cosmetic industry, which could employ circular economy models.

Cannabis sativa is one of the oldest medicinal plants in the world. It was introduced into western medicine during the early 19th century. It contains a complex mixture of secondary metabolites, including cannabinoids and non-cannabinoid-type constituents. More than 500 compounds have been reported from C. sativa, of which 125 cannabinoids have been isolated and/or identified as cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are C21 terpeno-phenolic compounds specific to Cannabis. The non-cannabinoid constituents include: non-cannabinoid phenols, flavonoids, terpenes, alkaloids and others. This review discusses the chemistry of the cannabinoids and major non-cannabinoid constituents (terpenes, non-cannabinoid phenolics, and alkaloids) with special emphasis on their chemical structures, methods of isolation, and identification.

Bioactive Potential

Seaweeds have received huge interest in recent years given their promising potentialities. Their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, hypolipemic, and anticoagulant effects are among the most renowned and studied bioactivities so far, and these effects have been increasingly associated with their content and richness in both primary and secondary metabolites. Although primary metabolites have a pivotal importance such as their content in polysaccharides (fucoidans, agars, carragenans, ulvans, alginates, and laminarin), recent data have shown that the content in some secondary metabolites largely determines the effective bioactive potential of seaweeds. Among these secondary metabolites, phenolic compounds feature prominently. The present review provides the most remarkable insights into seaweed research, specifically addressing its chemical composition, phytopharmacology, and cosmetic applications.

In the review summarized the scientific literature on geographical distribution, the degree of knowledge of the chemical composition and biological activity of extracts and isolated individual compounds of the genus Alhagi Tourn. ex Adans. of the world flora. The structures of the isolated 300 compounds are presented belonging to the alkaloids, terpenoids, carbohydrates, hydrocarbons, lipids, and phenolic compounds. In quantitative terms, the phenolic compounds dominate, among which flavonoids belonging to the group flavone, flavonol, flavanone, isoflavone, isoflavonolignan and flavan-3-ols groups are prevails. Among them, to the chemotoxonomic markers can be include flavonols narcissin and its aglycone isorhamnetin, which are produced in major quantities in practically all species of the genus Alhagi. It was revealed that the qualitative composition of the metabolites of the same species of this genus depends on the ecological-geographical and soil-climatic conditions of their growth place. The data on the biological activity of extracts and isolated individual metabolites are considered. The main biologically active substances of the genus Alhagi are phenolic compounds. The presented information in the review shows that the plants of the genus Alhagi are promising for the creation of new pharmaceuticals. It was noted that in present time are being conducted in-depth preclinical pharmacological studies of the antioxidant preparation "Yantacin", the anti-inflammatory "Alkakhin", the biologically active complex "Alkhidin", and the antioxidant and antibacterial preparation "Zhantharid". Cited in the review information may be used as reference literature by phytochemists, biologists, and pharmacologists.

SummaryData on the chemical composition and gas production from some indigenous fodder plants from Yucatán and Quintana Roo are shown in order to demonstrate the potential of these species as supplements for livestock However, contents of polyphenols but above all, their reactivity, present a serious constraint on their use in large proportions. Gas production techniques seem to be a good assay for estimating the reactivity of phenolic compounds since the closed environment used in the technique might exacerbate the negative effects of the reactive fraction of polyphenols on microbial population and enzymes.
