Objective: An emulsion of black cumin seed oil was developed using an orally safe surfactant, sucrose palmitate, to make it more comfortable consume. Methods: The made a 3% concentration palmitate emulsify 5% (F1) and 7.5% (F2) the stable emulsion. hedonic test applied 30 panelists, showing accepted formulation. Results: pH value each formulation degraded during 12 w storage. formula has better...

This study investigated the effect of dry heat on the antioxidant capacity of water extracts of six spices, namely black pepper (Piper nigrum Linn.), cumin (Cuminum cyminum Linn.), clove (Syzygium aromaticum Linn.), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum, syn. C. zeylanicum Blume), sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) and golpar (H. persicum Desf. Ex.), which were either roasted or heated in a microwave oven, powdered...

to introduce ecologically safe acaricide, effects of essential oils derived from cuminum cyminum (cumin), syzygium aromaticum (clove), and mentha spicata (spearmint) were determined on tetranychus urticae at 25±1◦c, 65±5% rh and a photoperiod of 16:8 (l:d) hour. the essential oils extracted by hydro-distillation were characterized by means of gc and gc–ms. bioassays were performed by filter pap...

The importance of Shoneez may be gauged from the fact that it cures every disease except; death as stated by blessed messenger of Islam. Worldwide Shoneez has been subjected to so much of scrutiny and exploitation as to its phyto chemical constituents. Shoneez commonly known as black seed (Kalonji) belongs to the family of Ranunculaceae. Seeds are used since time immemorial for the treatment of...

research on crop response to deficit irrigation is important to reduce agriculture water use in areas where water is limited resource. using drought resistant landraces with irrigation scheduling based on phenological stages in semi-arid and arid regions may provide an opportunity to optimize irrigation efficiency and water savings in these regions. in order to evaluate of yield and yield compo...

Background: Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L. [family Apiaceae]) seed essential oil is reported to have antiseptic activity. Until now the antiviral properties of cumin seed extracts on viruses such as herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) have not been studied. The objective of this study was to investigate the in vitro effects of aqueous, methanolic and hydroalcoholic extracts of cumin seed on HSV-1 growth ...

The exogenous application of organic and natural inputs is a key strategy for producing healthy high-quality crops in sustainable agricultural systems. Black cumin ( Nigella sativa L.) highly popular plant used worldwide the medical food industries. According to authors' knowledge, no research has been published examine effects zeolite vermicompost on yield components, nitrogen (N), phosphorous...

The paper presents a real-time PCR method allowing the simultaneous detection of traces of black mustard (Brassica nigra) and brown mustard (Brassica juncea) in food. The primers and the probe target the B. nigra partial RT gene for reverse transcriptase from gypsy-like retroelement 13G42-26. The real-time PCR method does not show any cross-reactivity with other Brassicaceae species with the ex...
