Exploring Sage (Salvia officinalis L.) in Uzbekistan for Enhanced Medicinal Application Potential
Description
Species of Sage (Salvia officinalis L. Lamiaceae), with commonplace occurrence and ample availability in Uzbekistan, also largely cultivated worldwide, is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. As is evident from contemporary global research trends, Salvia is being aggressively investigated globally, on account of its precious bioactive constituent yielding potential. Extensive searches of databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar reveal Sage as a well-known aromatic and medicinal mediterranean plant with multiple industrial and pharmaceutical possibilities, species of which are native in the coastal regions of the western Balkan and southern Apennine peninsulas and elsewhere in Central Asia. Recent trends in pharmaceutical research clearly reiterate these and other novel benefits, as also outline some newer extraction methods and solvents for more efficient extraction capable of qualitative and quantitative increases in the phytochemical ingredient recovery. Enumerating enhanced anti-inflammatory activities, current research also stresses the evaluation of Salvia’s latent potential for combating oxidative stress and inflammatory diseases. In this direction, following the recent research by Hakimova (2023), we highlight wider regional application and export possibilities, also appraising novel ways of productive crop cultivation.
