The genus Trigonella is an annual plant distributed in the Mediterranean region and it comprises several species. The present report deals with the dietary, medicinal, biochemical biological and various pharmacological properties.

In the present study the amount of three important flavonols (kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin) and five phenolic acids (gallic acid, ferulic acid, cinnamic acid, vanillic acid and caffeic acid) were determined from four medicinally important indigenous plants like Euphorbia tirucalli, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Cyperus rotundus and Rheum emodi. Methanolic extracts of native parts and gemmo-mod...

background: studies have emphasized the effect of trigonella foenum-graecum extract on the reduction of pain and inflammation. objective: in this research we investigated the mechanisms of trigonella foenum-graecum extract in reducing pain and inflammation induced by formalin. methods: male albino mice (weight 20 - 25 g) were evaluated through the injection of 2 microliters of formalin to the p...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although some taxonomic studies in the genus Trigonella have been conducted, there has been no concerted effort to study the breeding system. This paper examines the floral structure and pollination system in a population of T. balansae, an annual pasture legume. METHODS Floral morphology, hand and vector pollination, stigma receptivity, pollen tube growth, using scanning ...

THE METABOLOMIC profiling of Trigonella foenum-graecum and hamosa seeds was performed using NMR spectroscopy combined with multivariate data analysis (MVDA). The database the chemical shifts J-resolved two-dimensional technique were used to identify metabolites. Additionally, identified metabolites confirmed by comparison previously compounds as well. Among elucidated metabolites, choline, ster...

Spices are indispensable components of Indian cuisines since ancient times. Spices are considered as a rich source of bio-active antimicrobial compounds. Antibacterial potentials of ethanolic extracts of two Indian spices Syzygium aromaticum (Lavang) and Trigonella foenum-graecum (Methi) were investigated. The extracts were subjected to a screening of antibacterial activity against selected tes...

OBJECTIVES Various species of genus Trigonella are important from medical and culinary points of view. The essential oil of Trigonella torbatejamensis Ranjbar as an endemic plant in Iran has not been studied previously. The essential oil of this plant was analyzed by different methods for identification of its components. MATERIALS AND METHODS The essential oil composition of aerial parts of ...

Invitro antimycotic effect of the coconut, mustard, groundnut & soyabeen oils and the seeds of trigonella, ajwoin, mustard and garlic bulbs were mixed in the above oil samples to determine their effect on the spore germination of five pathogenic fungi i.e., Aspergillus niger, A.flavus, Absidia corymbifera, Penicilium nigricans and Candida albicans, isolated from otitic fungal infection of exter...
