Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Coriander is a plant common to several countries. Its use is associated with
traditional medicine due to its functional and therapeutic properties. However, more
and more coriander has been used in various sectors, such as food, medicine,
pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Given the importance of this plant, this chapter aims to
present the main chemical, functional and nutritional characteristics in addition to the
main applications of coriander. The different parts of coriander have several bioactive
components, such as monoterpenes, alkanes, aldehydes, alcohols, pigments, flavonoids,
phenolic compounds, and saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Because of its
composition, coriander has numerous functional and nutritional properties such as
antioxidant, antimicrobial, antibiofilm, antidiabetic, anxiolytic, and antidepressant
activity, among others. Applications range from studying the impact on
microorganisms to improving animal diets and extract preparations. Therefore, it can
be said that coriander is a plant with multiple applications, and its nutritional potential
should be increasingly explored to promote health benefits.
