The aim of the study is to compare effects Salvia hispanica (Chia) seed and Nigella sativa (Black Cumin) in traditionally produced dry fermented sausages with reduced nitrites on changes physicochemical parameters (water content, pH, water activity), thioarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), color parameters, content nitrosopigments, microbial counts throughout production process. At end ...

This study was to assess the nutritional quality and bioactive properties of black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) seeds oil commonly found in Chinese market. The results showed that contain 5.02, 21.07, 39.02, 3.02, 6.01, 25.86% moisture, crude proteins, fat, ash, fiber, carbohydrates, respectively. It also contains substantial amounts minerals, namely calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodi...

A serious drawback of classical control charts is their high sensitivity to deviations from normality. By now, many alternative procedures, often of a nonparametric nature, have been proposed. A danger with these competitors is that unrealistically large Phase I samples might be needed. This can be avoided by using groups of, rather than individual (IND), observations during Phase II. A recentl...

Aniseed is a spice native to the eastern Mediterranean region. Cases of simultaneous hypersensitivity to celery, mugwort pollen, and spices of the Umbelliferae family have been described as the celery-mugwort-spices syndrome. We report a case of aniseed-induced tongue angioedema. Skin prick tests to foods proved positive only to aniseed. Serum-specific immunoglobulin (Ig) E determination by enz...

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed the major components in black cumin essential oils which were thymoquinone (37.6%) followed by p-cymene (31.2%), α-thujene (5.6%), thymohydroquinone (3.4%), and longifolene (2.0%), whereas the oleoresins extracted in different solvents contain linoleic acid as a major component. The antioxidant activity of essential oil and oleoresi...

Background: Essential oils are very complex mixtures of compounds with variety of biological properties Objective: In the present study, the effect of Cumin (Cuminum cyminum), Sage (Salvia officinalis), Basil (Ocimum basilicum) essential oil at 250, 500, 750 and 1000 µL.L-1 and Thyme essential oil at 30, 60, 120, 250µL.L-1 on growth of Botrytis cinerea was investigated in in vitro condition. ...

in order to effects of fertilizer source and intercropping ratios on macronutrients concentration and uptake of fenugreek and black cumin, a factorial experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications at shahrekord university research farm in 2013. sole cropping of fenugreek (f) and sole cropping of black cumin (b) and three intercropping ratios (f:b 2:1, f:b ...

cumin (cuminum cyminum l.) as a member of the apiaceae family is one of the most important medicinal plants in iran. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of plant growth regulators and explant type on callus induction in cumin. for this purpose the cumin seeds (kuhbanan accession) were disinfected with sodium hypochlorite and alcohol and cultured on ms basal medium. leaf and hyp...

predicting seed viability would be extremely beneficial to seed producers and the prediction of seed viability depends on understanding the quantitative relationships between seed longevity, seed moisture content and storage temperature. thus, the objective of this investigation was to quantify relationship between temperatures, seed moisture and seed deterioration and determination seed viabil...
