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...

ABSTRACT- Improper seed germination is a serious challenge for medicinal herbs under drought stress conditions in semi-arid and arid regions. A new group of plant growth regulators known as karrikins have been proved useful to improve seed germination in some plants. In this regard, the effects of karrikin on seed germination and vigor of three medicinals under drought stress were examined. See...
