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...

Natural antimicrobials as well as essential oils (EOs) have gained interest to inhibit pathogenic microorganisms and to control food borne diseases. Campylobacter spp. are one of the most common causative agents of gastroenteritis. In this study, cardamom, cumin, and dill weed EOs were evaluated for their antibacterial activities against Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli by using agar...

Aim: To explore the in vitro antibacterial activity of seven ethanolic extracts of spices against the clinical isolates of enterococci. Methods: 215 enterococcal strains were isolated from clinical samples. Ethanolic extracts of Cumin (Cuminum cyminum), Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum) , Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum), Cardamom ...

Introduction Pesticide is a massive poisoning substance; spread a major global health problem and killing 250–350 000 people each year (Jeyaratnam, 1990; Gunnell, 2007). Profenofos [O-(4-bromo-2chlorophenyl) O-ethyl S-propyl phosphorothioate] is a organophosphorus insecticide and was developed for pest strains resistant to other organophosphorus insecticide (Worthing, 1979). Due to its wide use...

diabetes is one of the most common metabolic diseases in the world. vitamin e reduces protein glycation and improves insulin sensitivity, while cumin is effective in remission of diabetes. therefore this study was designed to evaluate the effects of vitamin e and cumin essential oil, on the blood level of leptin,glycosylated hemoglobin (hba1c) and also on lipid profile in diabetic patients.in t...

Eleven endophytic bacteria were isolated from the roots of cumin, a medicinal plant grown in Assiut Province, Egypt. The strains KAU2025 and KAU2022 exhibited highest inhibition rate against Fusarium oxysporum (FOC7) (64%) dual culture test selected for further studies. identified as Brevibacillus parabrevis Pseudomonas fluorescens, respectively, based on 16S rDNA sequence analysis. isolates in...

Malnutrition continues to be a key health problem in developing regions. The valorization of food waste appears as an ideal way to prevent malnutrition and improve people's access to food. Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) and caraway (Carum carvi L.) oilseeds are commonly used for cuisine and medicinal purposes. However, remaining cakes after oil extraction are usually underutilized. In order to asse...

in order to evaluate the comparison of different intercropping patterns of cumin (cuminum cyminum l. ) with lentil (lens culinaris l.) in double crop, a field experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications and eight treatment at the farm located in west azerbaijan province - city nagadeh, iran during growing reason of 2011-2012. treatments included ...

background & aim: black seed or black cumin (nigella sativa l.) belongs the family ranunculaceae. black seed is one of these species, which is naturally distributed in different parts of the country. it is extensively cultivated in various regions of iran.  experimental: the experiment was achieved using randomized complete block design with three replications in the research field of islam...

Background: Many of the most common cancers, such as prostate and breast cancer are due to the presence of harmful agents and compounds in processed foods, including nitrite. In this research the physicochemical, antioxidant, and color properties of sodium nitrite-free sausages containing different concentrations of cochineal pigment alone or in combination with cumin essential oil were studied...
