Cover Story: Phenolic-rich extracts from Origanum dictamnus and Thymus vulgaris were utilized for chemical characterization, biological evaluation, and the preparation of bioactive-rich hydrogels. Ultrasound-assisted methanolic extraction was employed to prepare the extracts, whose phenolic profiles were then characterized with components quantified using LC-MSn and HPLC-DAD, respectively. The extracts were evaluated for their antioxidant, antibacterial, and enzyme-inhibiting activities. Molecular docking studies were also conducted to provide deeper insights into the interactions between the extracts and the tested enzymes. Additionally, the extracts were incorporated into gelatin-based hydrogels using a deep eutectic solvent (DES) as both a plasticizer and solvent. The hydrogels were then further subjected to antimicrobial testing.
