Phytochemistry, Ethnobotany, Biogenesis, and Pharmacological Wonders of Cumin Seeds

Abstract

There are two primary varieties of cumin: white and black. White cumin seeds are more widely available, while black cumin seeds are smaller and smell sweeter. Cumin is an annual herb that grows to average heights of 30 to 45 cm in regions with sunshine and rainfall. The antifungal properties of this oil also extended the shelf life of strawberry fruit. Because cuminaldehyde is present in cumin seeds, individuals ill with diabetes mellitus benefited from its anti-diabetic properties. In alloxan-diabetic rats, dietary cumin prevented hyperlipidemia, which led to diabetes. Rats were used in the experiments to assess antistressin and memory-enhancing properties. Rats treated with paracetamol were protected against hepatotoxicity and neohorotoxicity by cumin fruit. In female Swiss albino mice, cumin restored normal levels of creatinine and uric acid. It can be used to treat cancer, respiratory issues, skin conditions, diarrhea, and anemia. With regard to Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, Cu nanoparticles have outstanding anti-bacterial action and are devoid of harmful substances.
