chou puant
Symplocarpus foetidus · Polecatweed
Symplocarpus foetidus, commonly known as skunk cabbage, is a perennial plant native to North America. Its traditional use in medicine has not been well-documented. Scientific studies have shown that skunk cabbage populations from glaciated regions exhibit reduced genetic diversity compared to those from unglaciated areas. The essential oils extracted from its leaves and stems contain various compounds, though the composition differs between hydrodistillation and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation methods. Research has identified a wide range of volatile compounds in eastern skunk cabbage flowers, with significant inter-individual variation, indicating two distinct chemotypes. Skunk cabbage leaves are noted for their hydrophobic properties, similar to rose petals, but not superhydrophobic. No major safety concerns or known drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.

Ce que dit la science
- L'étude a montré que les feuilles de raifort sauvage sont hydrophobes et non superhydrophobes, et ont une forte hystérèse de l'angle de contact, similaire à l'effet du pépin de rose.
- L'étude a révélé une diversité génétique réduite chez les populations de cardé du Canada dans les régions glaciaires par rapport aux régions non glaciaires.
- Les huiles essentielles des feuilles et tiges de Symplocarpus foetidus contiennent divers composés, avec des principaux composants différents selon les méthodes de distillation à l’eau et d’évaporation assistée par solvant.
- L'étude a identifié une large gamme de composés volatils dans les fleurs du cypress d'Amérique oriental, révélant deux chimotyps distincts sans association évidente avec l'étape sexuée ou la population.
