“…Basil seeds have a specific content of gum (generally ranging from 10% to 20% on the basis of the treating methods) with surprising functional characteristics, and this is comparable with some other commercial gums, such as xanthan [114]. Calcined basil seed has indicated the adsorption capability of herbicides [115]. Rectal administration of a combination of basil seeds and gum arabic after the induction of colitis showed both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant impacts, and it accelerated the healing of the colon in experimental colitis, which was increased by acetic acid [116].…”

Knowledge about the pharmacological benefits of different seeds is an important factor for the cultivation and application of medicinal herbs and plants. The seeds of medicinal plants are stores of valuable and active secondary metabolites that have been commercially and economically beneficial and helpful for medicine and pharmacy. The major parameter of reproduction and the preservation of plants are seeds, which have a functional role in the distribution and establishment of plants in different regions. Five important seeds that have tremendous medicinal and pharmacological benefits are anise, basil, borage, cilantro, and chamomile. Anise seed is used as a spice, either whole or ground, and its essential oil and extract are also obtained from the seeds. Basil seeds have a long history of usage in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, and they are a good source of minerals, are high in fiber (including pectin), and are rich is flavonoids and other polyphenols. Borage seed oil is used for skin disorders, such as seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and neurodermatitis. Coriander is an annual herb that is part of the Apiaceae family, and the seeds are rich in iron, zinc, copper, and essential minerals, which can decrease bad cholesterol and improve good cholesterol in the body. Chamomile can be considered for the treatment of insomnia, hemorrhoids, anxiety, and diarrhea, and it may help with wound healing and skin irritation. Keyword searches for Anise, Seed, Basil, Borage, Cilantro, Chamomile, Seed biology, Traditional medicinal science, and seed anatomy were performed using Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google scholar. The aim of this article review is to survey the pharmacological and health benefits of the seeds of the five aforementioned important medicinal plants.

“…Generally, the adsorbent acquires a positive charge when solution pH < pH pzc condition because the adsorbent behaves as an acid by adsorbing OH − . Conversely, in solution pH > pH pzc condition, the adsorbent acquires a negative charge because the adsorbent behaves as a base by adsorbing H + [ 31 , 32 ]. With these results as a starting point, we elucidated the detailed properties of the novel adsorbent NZC.…”
