Seeds of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) are widely used as a spice for their distinctive aroma. C. have been in traditional medicine to treat variety diseases. Literature presents ample evidence biomedical activities which is attributed its bioactive secondary metabolites - terpenes, phenols, and flavonoids. Besides, health effects seeds experimentally validated through phytochemical analysis depic...

abstract       background and objective: the aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition, antibacterial and antifungal effects of thymus vulgaris and cuminum cyminum essential oils against foodborne pathogens and candida species in vitro.       methods: the essential oils were extracted from the aerial parts of thymus vulgaris and dried cuminum cyminum seeds using a clevenger ap...

Uropathogenic organisms have evolved numerous defense mechanisms against antimicrobial agents, hence resistance to old and newly available drugs are increasing at an unprecedented level. The events of antibiotic resistance have lead for screening of several medicinal plants for their potential antimicrobial activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of Cyminumcum...

background development of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria motivates the researchers to search for newer antimicrobial agents. objectives in the present study, antibacterial effects of cuminum cyminum linn. essential oil against multidrug resistant (mdr) escherichia coli strains isolated from urinary tract infections were studied, using microdilution method. materials and methods...

A steam distillation extraction kinetics experiment was conducted to estimate essential oil yield, composition, antimalarial, and antioxidant capacity of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) seed (fruits). Furthermore, regression models were developed to predict essential oil yield and composition for a given duration of the steam distillation time (DT). Ten DT durations were tested in this study: 5, 7.5...
