The objective of the 1 st Euro-Mediterranean Conference on <strong>Plant</strong> Natural Products was beautifully achieved. It was to<br />

promote further collaborations between chemists, biologists <strong>and</strong> human health related disciplines <strong>and</strong> to focus on exp<strong>and</strong>ed<br />

possibilities of polyphenols for their application in human health, nutrition, <strong>and</strong> the food industry. This meeting provided an<br />

opportunity for the members of the “Herb family” to discuss ideas with experts on herbal medicines <strong>and</strong> natural product<br />

chemistry <strong>and</strong> an exciting venue for GA participants to exchange scientific information. During the conference Italian <strong>and</strong><br />

Egyptian pioneers discussed novel approaches to improve the production <strong>and</strong> delivery of plant health-promoting compounds<br />

through encapsulations into nano/micro-carriers. They presented data on application of certain plants products <strong>and</strong> their<br />

importance in treatment of cancer, GI tract disturbances <strong>and</strong> diabetes such as camphor, garlic <strong>and</strong> green tea products. They<br />

also discussed the concepts of medicinal plant metabolites.<br />
