the mechanical strength of cumin seed and the effects of moisture content, seed size, speed and direction of loading on the force and energy required to fracture cumin seed were investigated. the results showed that moisture and loading direction were significant at the 1% level on the force and energy required to fracture cumin seed. the effects of seed size on force and loading speed on energ...

Most of the bacterial pathogens are resistant to existing synthetic antibacterial agents demanding an increasing effort to seek effective phytochemicals as antibacterial agents against such pathogens. Nigella sativa L. (black cumin) seeds play an important role in folk medicine and some of its major constituents are reported to be pharmacologically active. In this present work, black cumin seed...

cumin (cuminum cyminum) is an annual suitable for the dry and semi-dry areas of iran. recently, farmers have chosen to plant cumin because it requires less water and growth time. however, at harvest time, the resistance of cumin seed to shatter is low and, if careful attention is not paid to this fact, a major portion of the crop can be lost. when the connection force of the seed decreases, see...

abstract cumin is one the most important medicinal plant in iran. a field experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of compost (30t/ha), vermicompost (10t/ha), cow manure (30t/ha) and sheep manure (20t/ha) and control (no fertilizer) on yield and yield components of cumin. the experiment was performed in the research farm of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad ...

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 ...

in order to study different arrangements and weed controls effects on mung bean (vigna radiate l. wilczek) – black cumin (nigella sativa l.) intercropping an experiment was conducted at the research station of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during growing season 2005 – 2006. sixteen treatments comprising combinations of eight sowing patterns [a1: sole black cumin,...

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) is an important seed spice crop, having good medicinal properties and grown predominately in arid semi-arid region of the world. India leading country with share 70% world production cumin. Two states (Rajasthan Gujarat) cover nearly 80% total area under cumin cultivation. The current scenario status area, productivity has been reviewed to identify various factors aff...

in order to study the effects of fall planting dates on yield and yield components of six cumin (cuminum cyminum l.) ecotypes an experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design as a split-plot with three replications during 2007-08 growing season at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad. three planting dates (18 oct. (first), 8 nov. (second) and 29 de...
