Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed the major components in black cumin essential oils which were thymoquinone (37.6%) followed by p-cymene (31.2%), α-thujene (5.6%), thymohydroquinone (3.4%), and longifolene (2.0%), whereas the oleoresins extracted in different solvents contain linoleic acid as a major component. The antioxidant activity of essential oil and oleoresi...

diabetes is one of the most common metabolic diseases in the world. vitamin e reduces protein glycation and improves insulin sensitivity, while cumin is effective in remission of diabetes. therefore this study was designed to evaluate the effects of vitamin e and cumin essential oil, on the blood level of leptin,glycosylated hemoglobin (hba1c) and also on lipid profile in diabetic patients.in t...

in order to evaluate the effect of different intercropping arrangements of cumin and chickpea on seed yield and quality criteria of cumin an experiment was conducted in agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2010 growing season. an experiment was conducted as split plot on the basis of complete randomized block design with three replicatons. the main plot included ar...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of adding ethanol extract of propolis (eep) and cumin essential oil (ceo) to diets of broiler chicks on the performance, blood parameters, immune response and carcass traits. a total of 240 day-old ross-308 broiler chicks were randomly allocated to four treatments with six replicates and 10 birds in each replicate in a completely randomized desi...

The commonly used seed spice Cumin (Cuminum cyminum Linn.) contains 3-4% volatile oil and about 15% fixed oil. Conventional grinding of cumin is associated with problems of temperature rise, caking, clogging of sieves and deterioration of quality due to loss of volatiles. Shortcomings of the conventional size reduction were obviated by flaking and the effect of flaking on the yield and quality ...
