borage

Borago officinalis, commonly known as borage, is a traditional plant with roots in various herbal medicine practices. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented; however, it has been employed for culinary and cosmetic purposes. Scientific evidence suggests that borage by-products can be processed to yield fractions with antioxidant and antibacterial activities, while artificial tetraploidy in the plant leads to changes in leaf morphology and cell structure. The marc from borage processing shows reduced dry matter, water activity, phenolic content, and antioxidant capacity compared to other by-products under similar conditions. Additionally, studies indicate that combining salicylic acid and nitric oxide can enhance photosynthetic efficiency and antioxidant defenses in borage under water-deficit stress. Safety concerns are minimal, with no major issues recorded, and there are currently no known drug interactions associated with the plant.
