“…cyminum oil. Some major components of Chinese cumin oil (cuminal, cuminic alcohol, c-terpinene, q-cymene and b-pinene) were previously found in cumin oils obtained from Turkey (Beis, Azcan, Ozek, Kara, & Baser, 2000), Pakistan (Karim et al, 1977) and Iran (Eikani, Goodarznia, & Mirza, 1999). It is well known that cuminal and cuminic alcohol show very strong antimicrobial and antioxidative activities.…”

“…Seeds of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) were obtained in one batch from its distributor (Nguan Soon, Bangkok). There was approximately 1.4-2.8% essential oil in cumin seeds (Beis et al 2000;Jalali-Heravi et al 2007). These essential oils contain several oil components that have previously been shown to be effective in stimulating xenobiotic degradation (Crowley et al 2001).…”

“…The application of cumin seeds for TCE biodegradation and bioremediation would be preferred because they are abundant in many countries and are considered nontoxic to humans. However, plant varieties, harvesting period and planting conditions have been shown to affect the quantities of cumin essential oils as well as the types of oil components (Beis et al 2000;El-Sawi and Mohamed 2002;Jalali-Heravi et al 2007). This would lead to the variation in TCE-degrading enzyme induction by different batches of the seeds.…”

Cometabolic degradation of TCE by toluene-degrading bacteria has the potential for being a cost-effective bioremediation technology. However, the application of toluene may pose environmental problems. In this study, several plant essential oils and their components were examined as alternative inducer for TCE cometabolic degradation in a toluene-degrading bacterium, Rhodococcus sp. L4. Using the initial TCE concentration of 80 microM, lemon and lemongrass oil-grown cells were capable of 20 +/- 6% and 27 +/- 8% TCE degradation, which were lower than that of toluene-grown cells (57 +/- 5%). The ability of TCE degradation increased to 36 +/- 6% when the bacterium was induced with cumin oil. The induction of TCE-degrading enzymes was suggested to be due to the presence of citral, cumin aldehyde, cumene, and limonene in these essential oils. In particular, the efficiency of cumin aldehyde and cumene as inducers for TCE cometabolic degradation was similar to toluene. TCE transformation capacities (T (c)) for these induced cells were between 9.4 and 15.1 microg of TCE mg cells(-1), which were similar to the known toluene, phenol, propane or ammonia degraders. Since these plant essential oils are abundant and considered non-toxic to humans, they may be applied to stimulate TCE degradation in the environment.

The essential oil of the seeds of Cuminum cyminum L. from China was isolated by hydrodistillation in a yield of 3.8%. The chemical composition of the essential oil was examined by GC and GC-MS; 37 components, representing 97.97% of the oil, were identified. Cuminal (36.31%), cuminic alcohol (16.92%), γ γ γ γ γ -terpinene (11.14%), safranal (10.87%), p-cymene (9.85%) and β β β β β-pinene (7.75%) were the major components.
