Foeniculum vulgare Mill. commonly known as fennel, belongs to family Apiaceae. The aqueous and alcoholic seed extracts of Foeniculum vulgare Mill. were evaluated for their antifungal activity against Alternaria alternata, Mucor rouxii and Aspergillus flavus. The method used for determination of antifungal activity of both aqueous and alcoholic seed extracts was agar well diffusion method. The a...

Two diglucoside stilbene trimers and a benzoisofuranone derivative were isolated from Foeniculum vulgare fruit together with nine known compounds. Their structures were elucidated by spectral methods including 1D, 2D NMR and MS and chemical methods. Antioxidant activity was tested using three methods: DPPH(), total antioxidant capacity and assay of lipid peroxidation.

This protocol describes the state of knowledge on safety in use preparations from fruits sweet and bitter fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill. Foeniculum piperitum (Ucria) C.Presl) at time drafting before full assessment is carried out, outlines questions sub-questions, specifies evidence needs, provides a detailed plan for assessment. It applied to first three risk steps: hazard identification, ch...

In order to evaluate the effect of different biological and organic fertilizers on essential oil content of sweet fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill), an experiment was conducted at Research field of Faculty of Agriculture, Shahrood University of Technology in 2010. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with 11 treatments and three replications. The experimental trea...

The effect of acetone extracts of Foeniculum vulgare Mill., seeds at different dose levels (50/ug, 150/ug and 250/ug/100gm body wt.) on mammary glands and oviducts of castrated rats was investigated. The extract was found to increase nucleic acids and protein concentration as well as the organ weights in both the tissues. The medium and high doses were very effective. The results confirm the es...
