background: alternaria alternata (aa) is a fungus that has wide range of plant host and can cause diseases in humans and produces a number of mycotoxins. exposure to high numbers of aa spores can trigger severe asthma exacerbations. resistance to antifungal drug has been shown in this species. trachyspermum copticum (ajowan) is an annual herbaceous essential oil )eo) bearing plant . the ripenin...

This study aims to investigate the effect of a methanol extract of Trachyspermum ammi (L.) as an antiepileptic agent. Tests were conducted with a singleand multiple-dosing schedule of Trachyspermum ammi (L.), using a strychnineinduced seizure model for epilepsy. Twenty-one animals were divided into three groups; control (vehicle), standard (diazepam) and test (Trachyspermum ammi (L.) extract). ...

OBJECTIVES Herbal waters are extensively used in most parts of including . Visiting a patient with total blindness due to daily ingestion of around 200 ml of herbal water (Plant forty water) per day for six months was the rational for methanol determination in all herbal waters available in markets. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of two hundred and nineteen bottles of herbal waters were random...

The stability of active compounds, sorption studies, and antioxidant antimicrobial activity solar-dried ajwain (Trachyspermum copticum L.) leaves were studied. Fresh leaf (FAL) on solar drying yielded (SDAL) was packed in polyethylene pouches for further studies. SDAL rich protein, fibre mineral matter. Active compounds such as β-carotene (17 89 mg/100 g) total chlorophyll (112 82 contents foun...

background and objectives : the aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of satureja hortensis and trachyspermum copticum essential oils against different kinds of microorganisms in vitro. material and methods : the antimicrobial activity was evaluated by micro broth dilution assay and analysis of essential oils chemical composition by gc and gc/ms a...

the present work was designed to study the antioxidant activity and to identify the main active components of the essential oil of ajowan (trachyspermum copticum) fruit. gc and gc-ms analyses of the essential oil showed the presence of eight compounds. the main constituents of the oil were thymol (43.7%), p-cymene (26.8%), and γ-terpinene (24.9%). the antioxidant and free radical scavenging act...
