Cinnamomum tamala Nees & Eberm. is an important traditional medicinal plant, mentioned in various ancient literatures such as Ayurveda. Several of its medicinal properties have recently been proved. To characterize diversity in terms of metabolite profiles of Cinnamomum tamala Nees and Eberm genotypes, a newly emerging mass spectral ionization technique direct time in real time (DART) is very h...

Supercritical carbon dioxide extracts of Cinnamomum tamala (bay) leaves obtained at 55°C, 512 bar was found to have appreciable nutraceutical properties and was successfully employed as value-added ingredients in preparation of tofu. The bay leaf formulated tofu sample was evaluated for physicochemical properties (pH, texture analysis and lipid peroxidation), proximate analysis, phytochemical p...

The leaf terpenoid compositions of nine Lauraceae species, viz., Neolitsea pallens, Lindera pulcherrima, Dodecadenia grandiflora, Persea duthiei, Persea odoratissima, Persea gamblei, Phoebe lanceolata, Cinnamomum tamala, and Cinnamomum camphora, collected from the Himalayan region (India) were examined by GC, GC/MS, and NMR analyses in order to determine the similarities and differences among t...

This study emphasizes detailed information of the plant, Cinnamomum tamala, (Buch.-Ham.) Nees & Eberm (Lauraceae) which includes habitat, description, medicinal uses, phytochemistry, pharmacological profile and safety aspects. The etymology is derived from the Greek word ‘kinnamomon’ (meaning spice). The Greeks borrowed the word from the Phoenicians, indicating that they traded with the East fr...

Purpose: To investigate the reno-protective properties of Cinnamomum tamala against gentamicininduced nephrotoxicity in rabbits. Methods: Rabbits were randomly divided into four groups (n = 6) including Group-1 (normal saline), Group-2 (gentamicin, 80 mg/kg/day), Group-3 (C. tamala, 200 mg/kg/day) and Group-4 (gentamicin, 80 mg/kg/day and C. tamala, 200 mg/kg/day). Body weight, blood urea nitro...

Highest yield of eugenol-rich fractions from Cinnamomum tamala (bay leaf) leaves were obtained by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2), compared to hydro-distillation, organic solvents, liquid CO2 and subcritical CO2 extractions. Optimization of SC-CO2 extraction parameters was carried out to obtain an extract with maximum eugenol content. This was achieved using a sample size of 10g at 55°C, ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a nosocomial pathogen colonizing patients with chronic infectious diseases and has gained resistance to all the known broad spectrum antibiotics available today. The present study showcases the antibiofilm potential of an essential oil (EO) from an underexplored Cinnamomum species namely, C. tamala, against P. aeruginosa biofilms. Furthermore, the synergistic effects o...

Hexavalent chromium trioxide is known to cause diseases like cancer and specific biological effects on the respiratory system. It induces oxidative stress and lead to formation of stable Cr-DNA adducts that contribute to its cytotoxic and genotoxic effects. In the present study, the antigenotoxic effects of Indian spices viz. Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & Perry and Cinnamomum tamala Nees & E...
