Description
Cloves are the aromatic flower buds of a tree in the family Myrtaceae, Syzygium aromaticum. Strong of aroma and hot and pungent in taste, cloves are used to flavor many foods. This plant represents one of the richest sources of phenolic compounds such as eugenol, eugenol acetate, and gallic acid and possesses great potential for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and agricultural applications. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the clove is higher than many fruits, vegetables, and other spices and should deserve special attention. Clove is applied directly to the gums (used topically) for toothache, for pain control during dental work, and for a complication of tooth extraction called “dry socket.”
