چکیده :

Dracocephalum moldavica L. which is known in Persian as baderashbo belongs to the Lamiaceae family. D. moldavica is cultivated in eastern and central Europe. In Iran, D. moldavica is mainly cultivated in Mazandaran, Yazd, Tehran, and Azerbaijan provinces. It has a long history of use as a spice and medicinal plant. D. moldavica is a good source of protein, lipids and fibers which possess antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. D. moldavica essential oil has a citrus-like flavor containing high content of oxygenated acyclic monoterpenes, ketone, aldehyde and alcoholic function groups. The major constituents of the essential oil of D. moldavica were found to be geranyl acetate, geranial, neryl acetate, geraniol, neral and nerol. Thus, D. moldavica could be used as a promising ingredient in food products. In this regard, in the current mini review, the morphological characteristics, chemical composition and .biological activities of D. moldavica will be introduced and its usage in food industry will be considered
