Chewing gum reduces visually induced motion sickness
Exp Brain Res. 2022 Jan 7:1-13. doi: 10.1007/s00221-021-06303-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVisually induced motion sickness (VIMS) is a common side-effect of exposure to virtual reality (VR). Its unpleasant symptoms may limit the acceptance of VR technologies for training or clinical purposes. Mechanical stimulation of the mastoid and diverting attention to pleasant stimuli-like odors or music have been found to ameliorate VIMS. Chewing gum combines both in an easy-to-administer fashion and should thus be an effective countermeasure against VIMS. Our study investigated whether gustatory-motor stimulation by chewing gum...

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 7467: Comparative Study on Microencapsulation of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) and Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) Essential Oils via Spray-Drying Technique
sarov
Essential oils have been studied for various applications, including for therapeutic purposes. There is extensive literature regarding their properties; however, their low stability limits their application. Generally, the microencapsulation of essential oils allows enhanced stability and enables the potential incorporation in solid dosage forms. Lavender and peppermint oils were encapsulated in microparticles using a spray-drying technique under optimized conditions: 170 &deg;C temperature, 35 m3/h aspiration volume flow, and 7.5 mL/min feed flow. Arabic gum and maltodextrin were used as coating polymers...

Small intestine-release peppermint oil is beneficial in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome
Evidence from systematic reviews has suggested that peppermint oil is an effective agent for the management of irritable bowel syndrome; however, results of a recent trial show that the type of formulation can affect the extent of benefits. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional disorder that is thought to affect up to 20% of the general population.1 Its symptoms primarily include abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. Management includes changes to diet and lifestyle and the use of medications. The results of published systematic reviews have suggested that peppermint oil is effective for the treatment o...

Peppermint essential oil and its major volatiles as protective agents against soft rot caused by Fusarium sambucinum in cera pepper (Capsicum pubescens)
Chem Biodivers. 2021 Nov 23. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202100835. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCera pepper ( Capsicum pubescens ) is an exotic fruit considered as a rich source of nutraceuticals with known benefits for human health and also an economic resource for local producers in Mexico. The present investigation reports on the in vitro and in situ antifungal activity of the essential oil from Mentha piperita and its two major volatiles (menthol and menthone) against Fusarium sambucinum , which is a causal agent of soft rot in cera pepper. The application of these components in pepper fruits previously infected with F. sambuc...

Chromosome doubling influences the morphological, physiological, biochemical and genetic traits related to essential oil biosynthesis of peppermint (Mentha piperita) under salinity stress
In this study, the morphology, physiology, biochemistry and gene expression of chromosomes doubling peppermint (D1 lines) were analyzed. The analysis showed that D1 lines had larger, thicker and darker leaves, and stronger roots when planted in the pots, but delayed growth in the field condition. Under NaCl stress, the D1 lines increased cell oxidative defense through more active antioxidant enzymes and decreased the oxidative damages of cell membrane, leading to a significantly greater survival rate and photosynthesis intensity than WT lines. The size and density of glandular trichomes of D1 lines was larger, which contri...

Quantitative but not qualitative flavor recognition impairments in COVID-19 patients
ConclusionData reported here suggests that a chemosensory impairment is present after SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the modified “flavor test” could be a novel self-administering objective screening test to assess STDs in COVID-19 patients.Clinical trial registration no.

The peppermint breath test benchmark for PTR-MS and SIFT-MS
A major challenge for breath research is the lack of standardization in sampling and analysis. To
address this, a test that utilizes a standardized intervention and a defined study protocol has been
proposed to explore disparities in breath research across different analytical platforms and to
provide benchmark values for comparison. Specifically, the Peppermint Experiment involves the
targeted analysis in exhaled breath of volatile constituents of peppermint oil after ingestion of
the encapsulated oil. Data from the Peppermint Experiment performed by proton transfer reaction mass
spectrometry (PTR-MS) and selected i...
