background development of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria motivates the researchers to search for newer antimicrobial agents. objectives in the present study, antibacterial effects of cuminum cyminum linn. essential oil against multidrug resistant (mdr) escherichia coli strains isolated from urinary tract infections were studied, using microdilution method. materials and methods...

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...

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum Linn.) is valued for its aroma and its medicinal and therapeutic properties. A supervised feedforward artificial neural network (ANN) trained with back propagation algorithms, was applied to predict fresh weight and volume of Cuminum cyminum L. calli. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to evaluate input/output dependency of the eleven input parameters. Area, feret d...

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...

materials and methods a multivariate variance experiment was performed. to assess the effect of essential oil, nisin and the incubation temperature on growth probability (log p%) of s. typhimurium and s. aureus, four concentrations of c. cyminum l. essential oil (0, 15, 30 and 45 µl/100 ml), three concentrations of nisin (0, 0.5 and 1.5 µg/ml) and three storage temperatures (10, 25 and 35°c) we...

The aim of this study is to determine some phytochemical contents, to synthesize silver nanoparticles AgNPs using Cuminum cyminum (C. cyminum) leaf extract, to study the effects of different conditions on the rate of synthesis, and to evaluate their antibaterial and antifungal activities. AgNPs were synthesized using C. cyminum leaf extract as bioreducer agent and aqueous silver nitrate solutio...

the essential oil from the seeds of cuminum cyminum l. was isolated by hydrodistillation method and the chemical composition was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc/ms). the yield of the oil was found to be 3.0% (on dry weight basis). a total of twenty six components, representing 96.7% of the oil were identified. cuminaldehyde (49.4%), p-cymene (17.4%), b-pinene (6.3%), a-ter...
