This study evaluated the ability of fennel extract to improve the quality of refrigerated minced silver carp over a period of 16 days. Minced silver carp were treated with fennel extract (0.5, 1 and 1.5% w/w), and beta-hydroxy toluene (BHT 200 ppm). The control and the treated fish samples were analyzed periodically (every­4 days) by chemical analysis (Peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid (...

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is widely cultivated and used as a culinary spice. In this work, the chemical composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of fennel seeds was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCeMS), and 28 components were identified. Trans-anethole (68.53%) and estragole (10.42%) were found to be the major components. The antibacterial activ...

The essential oil of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is rich in lipophilic secondary metabolites, which can easily cross cell membranes by free diffusion. Several constituents of the oil carry reactive carbonyl groups in their ring structures. Carbonyl groups can react with amino groups of amino acid residues in proteins or in nucleotides of DNA to form Schiff's bases. Fennel essential oil is rich ...

INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF RESISTANCE BAND TRAINING AND CONSUMING FENNEL EXTRACT ON PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME IN SHIRAZ HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS

introduction: fennel is rich in phytoestrogens and is used for estrogen deficiency disorders. estrogens affect anxiety through neurochemical systems such as gaba-a receptors. in this study the effects of fennel on gaba-a and estrogen receptors in anxiety were investigated. methods: adult female wistar rats weighing (180±20 g) were divided into 8 groups. groups received saline, fennel (200, 500,...

in order to evaluation of seed production index in lambsquarters (chenopodium album), leaf appearance and yield of fennel (foeniculum vulgare) under inter-specific competition a factorial experiment was conducted in islamic azad university, tabriz branch, iran, during 2011-2012. treatments were weed densities of 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 plants per meter row and its relative emergence times of simultane...

Background: No systematic review study was found regarding the comprehensive examination of the effects of dates and fennel on breastfeeding adequacy of mothers. The present study aimed to examine the impact of dates and fennel on breastfeeding adequacy of mothers. Materials and Methods: All c...

The relationship between the insect development rate and temperature was established very early and represents an important ecological variable for modeling the population dynamics of insects. The accurate determination of thermal constant values and the lower and upper developmental thresholds of Hyadaphis foeniculi (Passerini) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Miller (Apial...

BACKGROUND Primary dysmenorrhea refers to the occurrence of painful menstrual cramps of uterus and is considered as a gynecological complaint. The common treatment for this problem is medical therapy such as mefenamic acid [non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)] and oral contraceptive pills, both of which work by reducing myometrial activity. Fennel contains an antispasmodic and anetho...
