“…The ash values indicate the rich source of essential minerals which was higher than the reported data. Moreover, the acid insoluble ash was found to be significantly lower which indicated poor silicate impurity as well as water soluble ash indicated soluble minerals contents present in the ash samples (Saleh‐e‐In et al, ). Dietary fibre is other important parameter in the digestion and absorption processes in the body (Cherbut et al, ).…”

The present research has been performed on black pepper of two cultivars to evaluate their nutritional quality and safety issue on the basis of proximate, chemical and pharmacological properties. The proximate results were compiled with the standard USDA limits. K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Al and Se were detected as major elements, whereas the toxic elements were found within the recommended limit. The GC‐MS analysis of the essential oils showed the presence of δ‐3‐carene (32.61%) as the major component in Kerala cultivar whereas β‐caryophyllene (18.39%) was the major components in Indigenous cultivar. The IC50 values of DPPH antioxidant activity of the essential oils were found to be 44.16 and 22.88 mg/mL in Indigenous and Kerala cultivars, respectively. The antimicrobial activity of the essential oils showed good activity in both cultivars. The LC50 values of the brine shrimp cytotoxic activity were 1.03 and 1.21 μg/mL in Indigenous and Kerala cultivars, respectively. Practical applications Spice quality is an important issue in the food industries as well as export markets. Due to the toxicological effect of imported spices, much attention has been paid to the safety issue especially on cytotoxicity and toxic metal contaminations. The present study reveals that both cultivars possess rich amount of nutritional components, essential minerals, phyto and flavouring components in their essential oils and recommended level of toxic elements as well as decent antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. This study promises to scaffold a new window for exportation of quality spice and confer potential for use in food, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries.

Background The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Anethum graveolens (dill) powder supplementation on glycemic control, lipid profile, some antioxidants and inflammatory markers, and gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and methods In this study, 42 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly allocated to intervention and control groups and received either 3 g/day dill powder or placebo (3 capsules/day, 1 g each). Fasting blood sugar, insulin, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, lipid profile, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, total antioxidant capacity, malondialdehyde and gastrointestinal symptoms were measured in all of the subjects at baseline and postintervention. Results The dill powder supplementation significantly decreased the mean serum levels of insulin, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol and malondialdehyde in the intervention group in comparison with the baseline measurements (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the mean serum levels of high-density lipoprotein and total antioxidant capacity were significantly increased in the intervention group in comparison with the baseline measurement (P < 0.05). Colonic motility disorder was the only gastrointestinal symptom whose frequency was significantly reduced by supplementation (P = 0.01). The mean changes in insulin, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol and malondialdehyde were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.05). In addition, the mean changes in high-density lipoprotein were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Dill powder supplementation can be effective in controlling the glycemic, lipid, stress oxidative and gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective. We aimed to document the effectiveness of an Ayurvedic treatment protocol in patients with knee ligament injuries. Methods. We observed 20 patients with knee ligament injuries ranging from partial to complex meniscal/ligamentous pathological states who underwent an Ayurvedic treatment protocol. Knee Outcome survey (KOOS) and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores were assessed as baseline figures along with supportive radiological reports if available such as an MRI and the same scores were used to assess the effectiveness of the Ayurvedic treatment protocol. Person centered stage wise administration of Ayurvedic medicaments and external therapies were carried out for the concerned patients. The outcome measures of change in KOOS and IKDC scores were analyzed pre-treatment [a1], post-treatment [a2] and after a follow-up [a3] of 3 months. Data analysis was carried out using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The ordinal data was subjected to Friedman's test. Post Hoc comparisons were carried out using Wilcoxon test (with Bonferroni correction). Results with p-value < 0.01 were considered significant. Results. There were statistically significant differences in KOOS and IKDC scores between a1 and a2; & a1 & a3. When analyzed between a2 & a3 in the prescribed parameters, results were statistically insignificant. KOOS-Overall scores with Friedman's test between a1, a2 and a3 were χ 2 (2) = 28.737, p = 0.000 < 0.01. Post hoc analysis with Wilcoxon signed-rank tests (at Bonferroni-adjusted significance level) between a1 & a2 gave results Z =-3.921, p = 0.000 < 0.017 and between a1 &a3 it was Z =-3.771, p = 0.000 < 0.017. Between a2 & a3 the result was Z = 0.000, p = 1.000 > 0.017. IKDC score withFriedman's test between a1, a2 & a3 were χ 2 (2) = 32.430, p = 0.000 < 0.01. Post hoc analysis with Wilcoxon signedrank tests, between a1 & a2 was Z =-3.920, p = 0.000 < 0.017 and between a1 & a3 was Z =-3.922, p = 0.000 < 0.017). The analysis between a2 & a3 gave result Z =-2.234, p = 0.025 > 0.017). A variable in knee joint rehabilitation viz. the body mass index (BMI) of the patients did not seem to influence the results. The treatment was found to be comparatively more effective in females and in patients who engaged in moderate labour as well as who led a sedentary lifestyle. Elderly population though of less number in the study, experienced improved joint stability and relief in symptoms statistically as well as clinically. Conclusions. The preliminary analysis of this observatory report indicates that suggested Ayurvedic treatment protocol is effective in knee ligament injuries, wherein it improves joint stability, reduces the symptoms of pain, swelling, stiffness and rehabilitates the individual towards his daily activities of strenuous/non strenuous origin. The effectiveness observed after the treatment phase sustained across the follow up period of 3 months as well. To substantiate the effectiveness of the prescribed Ayurvedic treatment protocol in decelerating the osteoarthri...
