Objective: To evaluate antihyperlipidaemic activity of methanolic extract of seeds of Cuminum cyminum L. in hyperlipidaemia in rabbits. Methods: This study was conducted in Pharmacology Department of University of Karachi; the duration of study was 30 days. Healthy rabbits were taken and hyperlipidaemia was induced by giving high cholesterol diet for four weeks. All animals were divided into th...

background aflatoxin b1 (afb1) is a highly toxic and hepatocarcinogenic metabolite produced by aspergillus species. some natural products are known to kill fungi and destroy toxins and toxin-producing agents. objectives the purpose of this study is to provide experimental data on the antifungal activity of cumin oils and their components that could be considered suitable for application in food...

BACKGROUND Limited data are available regarding the effects of combined administration of Cumin cyminum L. and lime on weight loss and metabolic profiles among subjects with overweight subjects. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to assess the effects of combined administration of Cumin cyminum L. and lime on weight loss and metabolic profiles among subjects with overweight. PATIENTS AND ME...

Bioassays were conducted to assess the contact toxicity of two plant essential oils against adults of Sitophilus granarius (L.) and Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val. Essential oils were extracted from seeds of Carum copticum L. and Cuminum cyminum L. Contact toxicity was assessed by topical application and adult mortality was counted 1, 2, 6 and 24 h after exposure. Bioassays were carried ou...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Cuminum cyminum (C. cyminum) essential oil on the growth and FUM1 gene expression of fumonisin-producing Fusarium verticillioides (F. verticillioides) strains isolated from maize. MATERIALS AND METHODS All fungal strains were cultured on potato dextrose agar (PDA) slopes at 30°C for 7 days. The antifungal activity was evaluate...

Environmental pollution from pesticides is an important issue that attracts wide spread public concern. Among these organophosphate pesticides are routinely used in agriculture. Chloropyrifos toxicity has been largely associated with irreversible inhibition of acetyl-cholinesterase resulting in accumulation of acetylcholine in the cholinergic receptors. Organochlorine insecticides, caused degen...

Background: Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming food-borne pathogen often associated with food products such as meat, vegetables, soup, rice, and milk and other dairy products. 1 - 20 % of total outbreaks of food intoxication in the world are caused by Bacillus cereus. There is an increasing interest in the use of plant-derived antimicrobial compounds as natural preservatives for foods. Such as ...

Essential oils are widely used as botanical insecticides rather than chemically synthesized pesticides which led to catastrophic effects on humans, the environment, and eutrophication. Here, encapsulation of four essential Basilicum ocimum, Cuminum cyminum, Origanum marjorana, Matricaria chamomilla were utilized in presence 3% v/v ethanol, anti-insect against Aphis craccivora compared tradition...
