Uropathogenic organisms have evolved numerous defense mechanisms against antimicrobial agents, hence resistance to old and newly available drugs are increasing at an unprecedented level. The events of antibiotic resistance have lead for screening of several medicinal plants for their potential antimicrobial activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of Cyminumcum...

Background and Objectives: Listeria monocytogenes is an emerging foodborne pathogen which may be transmitted through meat and dairy products to humans. In this study, effects of Cuminum cyminum essential oil (CCEO) and Biarum carduchcorum water extract (BCWE) and a combination of the two compounds on growth of L. monocytogenes and physicochemical, textural and sensory properties of lambs were i...

BACKGROUND The main objective of this study was the phytochemical characterization of four indigenous essential oils obtained from spices and their antibacterial activities against the multidrug resistant clinical and soil isolates prevalent in Pakistan, and ATCC reference strains. METHODS Chemical composition of essential oils from four Pakistani spices cumin (Cuminum cyminum), cinnamon (Cin...

The aim of this study was to evaluate hypocholesterolemic potential phytoconstituents ethanolic seed extract cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) by assessments interaction capabilities with 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA) through in vivo and silico along screening the test extract. were identified Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)/MS examinations. hypercholesterolem...

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...
