this paper presents mathematical models of thin layer forced convection solar drying of cuminum cyminum using two drying methods (mixed and indirect) at different operating conditions. the average initial moisture content of the seeds for all tests was about 43% d.b. and the drying was performed continuously, in each test, for a uniform period of 90 minutes drying time in a solar cabinet dryer ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to explore the in vitro antibacterial activity of seven ethanolic extracts of spices against high level gentamicin resistant (HLGR) enterococci isolated from human clinical samples. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two hundred and fifteen enterococcal strains were isolated from clinical samples. High level gentamicin resistance in ethanolic extracts of cumin (Cuminum...

Antibacterial activity of seed extracts of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) was investigated against 10 gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Disc diff usion method was used to test antibacterial activity. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were determined by using standard procedures. Th e highest (eff ective) inhibition zone of 16.67±0.47 mm was ...

AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of 50 and 100 mg doses of green cumin essential oil on glycemic and inflammatory indices in patients with diabetes type II. METHOD In this randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial, subjects were divided into three groups after selecting them randomly according to the inclusion criteria: 1 - Cuminum cyminum capsule (100 ...

The purpose of this research was to compare the anti-hyperglycemic effect of Cuminum cyminum L. and glibenclamide, a known antidiabetic drug, in diabetic rats. After collection and taxonomic identification of plant, alcoholic extract of seeds prepared suxhlet apparatus respectively. The animals were made diabetic by using streptozotocin (70 mg/kg, i.p.). The diabetic rats were administrated int...

Essential oils are widely used as botanical insecticides rather than chemically synthesized pesticides which led to catastrophic effects on humans, the environment, and eutrophication. Here, encapsulation of four essential Basilicum ocimum, Cuminum cyminum, Origanum marjorana, Matricaria chamomilla were utilized in presence 3% v/v ethanol, anti-insect against Aphis craccivora compared tradition...
