4.3 CATNIP IN BEVERAGE
4.3.1 Herbal Teas Based on Catnip
Herbal hot drinks (herbal teas) made from aromatic plants have been used in Europe long before the introduction of true tea from Camellia sinensis L. Herbal tea typically consists of one or several types of plants that undergo infusion or maceration. Usually, different parts of the plants are utilized, such as leaves, stems, fruits, owers, seeds, and bark. They can have invigorating, calming, or health- promoting effects, depending on the composition and properties of the plant material. Modern herbal teas are becoming increasingly popular worldwide due to various biological properties such as aroma, avor, antioxidant properties, and others, as well as because of cultural, religious principles, and complementary effects. Due to the high caffeine content in regular tea, consumers oriented towards a healthy lifestyle are increasingly turning to herbal teas as alternatives to traditional caffeinated beverages. Consumption of herbal teas also reduces health risks associated with uorides (Das et al., 2017). Furthermore, the var­iety of herbal teas allows consumers to choose beverages that match their individual taste preferences and health needs. The growing awareness of the potential benets of herbal drinks stimulates scientic research in this direction aimed at determining their impact on the human body and the mechanisms of their action. Recent studies
The Catnip Plant for Beverage Production 127
indicate that herbal teas contain a variety of natural compounds, such as avonoids, catechins, essential oils, and other biologically active substances, which have poten­tial antioxidant, anti- inammatory, antibacterial, and immunomodulatory properties (Tolun & Altintas, 2019). These properties make herbal teas attractive for consumption as a means of health maintenance and prevention of various diseases. Herbal beverages are used as a natural part of dietary culture in countries where traditional medicine is widely practiced (Chandrasekara & Shahidi, 2018). Herbal teas are common social beverages in the culinary cultures of India, Sri Lanka, and China. The popularization of movements such as Slow Food and Local Food, as well as the interest of chefs in offering new avors, creates opportunities for the growth of the assortment of herbal beverages in Europe and North America.
The most popular family of plants traditionally used to prepare herbal hot drinks in Europe is Lamiaceae (Damyanova et al., 2016; Sõukand et al., 2013). The most common herbal teas in this region are based on various types of mint and thyme, but consumer preferences vary depending on the region. In China, 759 plant species are used as herbal teas. Leguminosae is the dominant botanical family with 59 species, followed by Compositae with 51 species, and Lamiaceae with 46 species (Fu et al., 2018).
Herbal tea made from catnip has been used for centuries as a soothing beverage. Dugas in his article “Beverages in Sickness” writes, “catnip tea is a favorite prescrip­tion of mothers for crying babes, under the impression that the cries always indicate the existence of colic, and that catnip is a specic for this” (Dugas, 1855). The author notes that such tea calms infants, but whether this is due to relief from colic or sedative prop­erties was not determined at that time. Today, it is known that catnip tea exhibits both effects (Sharma et al., 2019). Hot drinks made from catnip are also traditionally used in China (Liu et al., 2009). It is reported that Native American tribes traditionally used catnip to make tea, which they drank several times a day to treat their ailments, even after the spread of Western medicine. African American slaves used catnip for the same purpose, especially in the Appalachian Mountains, and this practice remains common among African Americans for treating various ailments such as infant colic and digestive issues (Reichert et al., 2018). Mainly, catnip tea is prepared from N. cataria L. However, other Nepeta species are used as medicinal teas in many parts of the world. N. ucrainica L. is used as a herbal tea in Kazakhstan (Akbay et al., 2002), N. trachonitica as tea in Turkey (Köksal et al., 2017), infusion and beverage obtained from N. crispa are used in Iran (Hussain et al., 2015).
As far as is known, catnip tea does not cause side effects (Manteiga et al., 1997; Sharma et al., 2019). In scientic and popular literature, there are indications that catnip may affect human consciousness similarly to how it affects cats (Grognet, 1990). Although there is limited evidence to support this concept, there is a documented case of central nervous system depression in a child after consuming a large amount of catnip (Osterhoudt et al., 1997). The most likely toxic effects may be attributed to the essential oil of catnip, of which there is little in hot infusions. Mollova et al. (2023) identied six allergens listed in EU Directive 1223/ 2009 as known aromatic substances that can cause allergic reactions. These are β- citronellol (26.31%), geraniol (15.92%), gera­nial (11.58%), nerol (11.45%), limonene (0.16%), and β- linalool (0.15%). Therefore, consumers sensitive to such allergens should avoid consuming related products, and manufacturers should warn consumers about potential consequences. Overall, the US

Environmental Protection Agency categorizes rened oil of N. cataria L. as Class III for primary eye irritation and acute oral toxicity, and as Class IV for acute dermal irritation and acute inhalation irritation.
Commercially available herbal teas are produced in the form of dried and chopped plant parts, sometimes in tea bags. Modern companies specializing in organic or healthy foods offer catnip tea made from N. cataria L. and position it as a relaxing and soothing beverage, also recommending it for infant colic (Figure 4.2).
The natural properties of catnip may help alleviate pain in the digestive system and provide a calming effect, adding to the attractiveness of catnip as an ingredient in herbal tea (Gabrani et al., 2022). Therefore, herbal tea blends based on catnip are quite popular today. Some companies offer herbal tea compositions for improving sleep or relaxation, which include catnip and other herbs (Figure 4.3).
The dependency of the content of bioactive compounds in beverages on the method, temperature, and time of steeping is well known (Hajiaghaalipour et al., 2016). However, we did not nd scientic data specically regarding catnip tea. In light of this, further research and experiments aimed at rening the optimal methods of using catnip in herbal beverages and elucidating the mechanisms of action will be crucial for establishing a scientic basis for natural methods of reducing disease risk and improving overall health.

4.3.2 Alcoholic Beverages with Catnip
The use of aromatic plants and spices for creating alcoholic beverages has a long his­tory dating back to ancient times in the Mediterranean. Perhaps the oldest known herbal liqueurs originated in Ancient Greece. There is evidence that Hippocrates, one of the earliest known physicians, used maceration of plant herbs and spices in wine to create a avorful drink known as “Hippocratic wine” (Tonutti & Liddle, 2010). Adding a wide variety of herbs and spices to wine was a common practice in Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome as early as the 18th century  (Harutyunyan & Malfeito- Ferreira, 2022). In the past, alcoholic herbal infusions were used to improve digestion and overall well­being. They were considered benecial for stimulating appetite, relieving heaviness in the stomach, and supporting the gastrointestinal tract. They were also used to improve liver function and relax muscles.
The composition and formulation of these tinctures have been carefully worked out empirically for years. Although alcoholic beverages are often associated with nega­tive effects, they are part of the traditional culture of many communities. The concept of using bitter and aromatic plants in drinks and dishes to treat digestive problems is universal and ancient. Consumption of alcoholic beverages during meals because it is pleasurable, remains a formed habit of behavior, which combines different foods for the positive experience of eating (McMullen, 2024). The results of many studies show the existence of a positive relationship between moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages, well- being, and health (Fiore et al., 2020).
Modern herbal bitters and liqueurs are descendants of ancient healing drinks. Many of them are still produced according to ancient recipes that are kept in strict secrecy. The most famous commercial herbal liqueurs contain complex compositions of spicy and aromatic raw materials. Liqueurs or bitters can include herbs, owers, roots, bark, fruits, spices, nuts. One of the oldest world- famous herbal liqueurs is the French Benedictine, which was created in 1510. It is known that the composition of the liqueur includes 27 components, which are believed to include juniper, saffron, arnica, lemon balm, tea, thyme, coriander, cloves, lemon, vanilla, orange peel, aloe, angelica, honey, and cinnamon. There are 130 different herbs in French Green Chartreuse. The German liqueur Jägermeister is made with 56 different herbs and spices, including licorice, anise, ginger, juniper berries, and citrus peel. Italian Galliano contains 30 different Mediterranean herbs. Becherovka Czech herbal liqueur contains a balanced mixture of about 20 herbs and spices. Herbal liqueurs have been made and consumed for centuries in various European countries. These liqueurs are usually made by macer­ating aromatic raw materials in a water- alcohol mixture (wine or wine distillate), adding plant extracts to distilled alcohol, or combining some of these methodologies (Vázquez­Araújo et al., 2013).
In the production of avored wines, the extraction of aromatic compounds from raw materials is also carried out with alcohol solutions of different concentrations, which allows the extraction of biologically active substances of various nature from plant raw materials. Aromatized wine is traditional in many European countries with the tradition of winemaking. The most famous avored wines are vermouths, the indus­trial production of which began in Italy at the end of the 18th century (Tonutti & Liddle,
2010). In Serbia, a special avored dessert wine – bermet – is produced. It includes
130 Wild Edible Plants
26 medicinal herbs (Gorjanović et al., 2020). Vermouths are a popular type of wine in Europe and the US, and their popularity continues to grow (Liang et al., 2021). This can be partly explained by the interest of consumers not only in beautiful tastes, but also in the perception of vermouths as functional products. Vermouths have antibacterial, antioxidant properties that contribute to strengthening the health and well- being of con­sumers (Morya et al., 2024).
The only alcoholic beverage with a natural green color is considered to be the French Green Chartreuse. It is extremely difcult to preserve the natural green color of the raw materials in food products, since the natural coloration of plants is associated with the very labile pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll, when subjected to thermal pro­cessing and exposure to light, quickly converts into pheophytin. Pheophytin gives thermally processed raw materials a brown- olive color. Since dried plants are used for preparing infusions, extracts, and liqueurs to ensure microbiological stability and con­venient storage, the color of the nal product is most often yellow- brown to brown. Additionally, the possibility of processing fresh plant raw materials occurs season­ally. However, for crafted or premium- class products, it is quite acceptable to prepare alcoholic beverages from freshly harvested plant material. This approach ensures the production of beverages with a green color, as green is well preserved by alcohol. Consequently, the physicochemical characteristics of beverages made from raw and dried materials will have signicant differences.
Since in the vast majority of cases the composition of herbs used for the production of avored wines and liqueurs is kept secret, it is quite difcult to say whether they con­tain plants of the genus Nepeta. Even when analyzing known recipes of alcoholic herbal drinks in the case of Mentha spicata, researchers can adopt the broad species concept (species sensu lato) because it is more suitable for working with ethnobotanical data (Egea et al., 2015).
However, when developing new spicy- aromatic compositions for the creation of various alcoholic beverages, their composition is known. In Ukraine, some technologies of vermouth production were developed, in which herbal composition included plants of the genus Nepeta (Tkachenko, 2001). Red dry grape vermouth “Magnys” is prepared using a composition of six spicy- aromatic plants: wormwood Artemisia scoparie, catnip
N. cataria var. citriodora, immortelle Helichrysum italicum (Roth) G. Don, Elsholtzia stauntonii, yarrow Achillea colina L., tansy Tanacetum vulgare L. It is described that the
taste of the developed vermouth is pleasant, the bouquet is well expressed, bright with light balsamic and resinous tones. Another strong grape vermouth “Bouquet of Crimea” is prepared on the basis of 14 different herbs, which also include catnip N. cataria var. citriodora. Vermouth has a slight bitterness, clove- cinnamon, wormwood tones with a citrus shade. It was established that out of 57 aroma- forming compounds, 19 components inuence the formation of the specic bouquet of the aromatized drink “Bouquet of Crimea”: ethers, terpene alcohols, phenols, and mainly thymol, carvacrol, methylisoeugenol, and α- thujone. Grape avored strong drink “Tavr” contains 25% vol. alcohol and is prepared on the basis of a composition of 11 spicy- aromatic plants, bee honey, propolis. The spicy- aromatic composition also includes catnip N. cataria var.
citriodora.
Possibilities of utilizing N. mussinii, N. transcaucasica, N. cataria, N. sibirica in the production of white vermuths were studied (Kovtun- Vodyanytska et al., 2014).
The Catnip Plant for Beverage Production 131
Wine- alcohol infusions were prepared by the maceration method – a one- time treatment of plant raw materials with a wine- alcohol solution. Chopped and sorted plants were poured with a wine- alcohol solution with a strength of 50% in a volume ratio of 1 to
10. According to the results of physico- chemical parameters and sensory evaluation, the samples with N. mussinii and composition of N. mussinii, N. cataria, and Vitex were dened as best.
Kuzmin et al. (2020) developed infusions from spicy and aromatic raw materials for the restaurant business and evaluated their antioxidant capacity. The actual measured redox potential of infusions was established – from 117.0 mV (Elsholtzia stauntonii Benth) to 134.0 mV (N. transcaucasica Grossch). Water- alcohol infusions from plant raw material N. transcaucasica Grossch with volume % of ethanol of 40% showed a redox potential of 100 mV. Water- alcohol infusions from eight types of spicy­aromatic raw materials had values of sensory indicators from 9.50 to 9.69 points. The highest value – 9.69 points given to N. transcaucasica Grossch infusion: color – light brown; the taste – minty; the aroma – soft, pleasant, sweet. Another work focused on the assessment of the possibility of re- using the waste of vegetable spicy- aromatic raw materials, which are formed after maceration, in the technology of liquor- vodka products (Kuzmin et al., 2020). Authors found that during the re- using of maceration waste of N. transcaucasica Grossch it is possible to obtain water- alcohol infusions of intense aroma but weakly saturated in color. It is claimed that such water- alcohol infusions are characterized by a high content of biologically active substances and have antioxidant properties. Extraction with alcohol or water- alcohol mixtures allows the extraction of signicantly more biologically active substances from spicy and aromatic raw materials, and also extends the shelf- life of the drink. Ethanol- based extracts of N. cataria showed the highest content of phenolic compounds compared to aqueous extracts (Nadeem et al., 2022).
4.3.3 Specic Aspects of the Catnip Extracts’
Preparation
It is known that, in general, increasing the concentration of the extractant enhances the efciency of extraction from raw materials. However, the optimal concentration is considered to be 50%, since further increasing the strength enriches the infusions with some terpene compounds, resins, and waxes, which precipitate in beverages, causing opacity (Tkachenko, 2001). This is, however, applicable to extraction processes from dry plant material. Literature data on the extraction processes of fresh plant material are limited. It is shown that increasing the ratio of raw material to extractant improves the efciency of extraction, and a ratio of 1:10 is most commonly used. However, in the production of tinctures from fresh plant material, a ratio of 1:5 is used (Stéphane et al., 2021).
To address the optimization of the extraction process from the raw material of Nepeta species, several experiments were conducted by our group. In the Southern Steppe of Ukraine, all four Ukrainian species of wild catnip grow, but N. cataria L. and
N. parviora M. Bieb. are the most common. Thus, the aerial parts of wild Nepeta cataria L. plants, collected during the owering period in the Southern Steppe zone
132 Wild Edible Plants
of Ukraine (Zaporizhzhia region, (46.821124, 35.264201)), were used for research. The plants were collected during the owering period when the essential oil content in the leaves was at its maximum. The aerial parts (herbs) were harvested 10 cm above the ground without using the coarse (woody) parts of the plant, then raw material was chopped into pieces about 20 mm in size and subjected to maceration.
To determine the effect of the water- to- alcohol ratio in the extractant on the extrac­tion of dry soluble substances, various aqueous- alcoholic mixtures were used for the maceration of catnip, namely, 30% alcohol by volume (ABV), 40% ABV, and 55% ABV. Next, the effect of the raw material- to- extractant ratio on the extraction pro­cess was determined. Extraction was performed with aqueous- alcoholic mixtures at raw material- to- extractant ratios of 1:5, 1:10, and 1:20. The mixtures were infused for 10 days in closed glass containers protected from the light. After obtaining the nal extract, the content of dry soluble substances and the total polyphenolic compounds were analyzed as indicators that mostly characterize the presence of biologically active substances. The amount of polyphenolic substances was determined as previ­ously described (Burdina & Priss, 2016). Briey, the method comprises the complex­ation reaction of polyphenols with a Folin– Denis reagent and the formation of colored substances, followed by the determination of the optical density of solution.
During the extraction of dry soluble substances from fresh raw material, the lowest content was observed in the extract with a 30% ABV aqueous- alcoholic mixture and a raw material- to- extractant ratio of 1:20, with a value of 9.40%. The highest value of this indicator (14.40%) was in the extract with a raw material- to- extractant ratio of 1:5 and 40% ABV in the extractant (Figure 4.4).
As the alcohol concentration increases to 55% ABV, the extraction of dry soluble substances becomes more difcult (Figure 4.4). This likely occurs due to the xation of cell walls by the alcohol, which includes proteins and pectic substances, affecting the permeability of cell membranes and leading to a slower extraction process. Therefore,

further increasing the alcohol concentration in aqueous- alcoholic mixtures for extracting dry soluble substances is impractical.
Additionally, it was found that the highest content of phenolic compounds can also
be obtained with a raw material- to- extractant ratio of 1:5 (Table 4.4).
The difference in the total polyphenolic compounds in the extracts was statistic-
ally signicant between the experiment variations, ranging from a maximum value of
295.03 mg/ 100 g in the extract with 55% ABV at a 1:5 ratio to a minimum of 216.41 mg/ 100g in the extract with 30% ABV at a 1:20 ratio. The content of phenolic compounds in all extracts slightly decreased after 6 months of storage. This decrease averaged no more than 4.3%, indicating the potentially high biological value of the extracts even after storage.
On the other hand, to conrm the stability of the composition of the obtained extracts, there is a lack of data on the content of individual phenolic compounds. The total polyphenolic compounds may include their oxidized forms, which do not exhibit biological activity. Therefore, for the use of Nepeta cataria L. in the production of alcoholic beverages, further research is needed, including nding the composition and properties of extracts, as well as the technological aspects of the extraction process and the crafting of the nal product.
Furthermore, the persistent demand from manufacturers for wild raw materials for the production of alcoholic beverages can lead to intensive harvesting in natural conditions, which threatens their populations and biodiversity as a whole. One way to address this issue is to develop agronomic technologies for cultivating plants of the Nepeta genus under controlled conditions. This will not only help preserve wild populations but also ensure a stable supply of raw materials for potential products with enhanced biological value. Therefore, it is necessary to develop scientically based cultivation technologies for these plants, which will ensure stable and sustainable production.

4.4 CONCLUSIONS
Plants of the genus Nepeta are a valuable source of a complex of biologically active compounds with proven antimicrobial and antioxidant effects and a number of pharmacological properties. The benecial characteristics of these plants, highlighted in this study, justify using these plants as functional food products or functional ingredients of food products with new consumption properties. The favorable avor and aromatic prole of catnip are unquestionably advantageous for its use in bev­erage production. However, the variety of species and the difference in the chemical prole of these plants still require additional research to understand their impact on the human body and predict changes that occur as a result of technological pro­cessing. Further search for optimal methods of processing and technological appli­cation of these plants will allow their potential to be maximized to provide useful products for consumers.
Increased interest in these plants, however, may lead to increased harvesting from the wild, which may threaten their natural populations and biodiversity. One of the ways to prevent this problem is the development of agricultural technologies for growing Nepeta plants in culture conditions. This will not only preserve wild populations, but also ensure stable access to raw materials for potential products. Developing cultiva­tion procedures for these plants can contribute to the establishment of environmen­tally friendly and efcient cultivation methods that will support biodiversity and ensure stable and sustainable production.
