A common problem with vegetable production in drought areas is low crop stand, but germination data are limited and inconsistent for cumin. Different priming methods positively affect the enhancement of seed seedlings growth, especially under stress conditions. The objective this study was to assess effects different treatment (unprimed seeds as control, hydro-priming, salicylic acid, jasmonic ...

BACKGROUND The Candida species are the most important factors of fungal infections in humans and animals. It is necessary to prepare antifungal or antimicrobial drugs because of increasing drug resistance. The natural treatment of diseases of bacterial origin using medicinal plants is important. In this study the effect of antimicrobial medicinal herbal essential oils and conventional antifunga...

C. cyminum (cumin) and M. communis (myrtle) comprise many biologically active molecules. In this study, cumin seed myrtle leaves were mixed then hydrodistilled analyzed by GC-MS. The main components of the essential oil cuminal (50.71%), 1,8 cineole (8.30%), O-cymene (7.88%), β-pinene (7.62%), α-pinene (7.16%), γ-terpinene (6.09%) α-terpinolene (2.19%). antifungal activity against albicans, par...

Ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) using response surface methodology (RSM) was employed for the highly efficient of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and antioxidants from cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) seeds. A central composite design (CCD) consisting three variables five levels used to estimate significance each process variable in application UAE seed extraction. Process optimized were...

Antibacterial activity of seed extracts of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) was investigated against 10 gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Disc diff usion method was used to test antibacterial activity. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were determined by using standard procedures. Th e highest (eff ective) inhibition zone of 16.67±0.47 mm was ...
