“…The biggest producer of N. sativa in 2015 was India, accounting for more than 85% of the world productions, followed by Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, and Turkey (Lal, 2018). Almost all the N. sativa producing countries are developing nations and major producers are small and marginal farmers.…”

Nigella sativa L. is considered to be an alternative crop offering innovative and high-quality products. A case study was implemented on an existing farm to determine the prospects of N. sativa production in Greece and to assess the economic outcomes of the cultivation of this crop under organic and conventional cropping systems. The total production cost of organic N. sativa seeds was 6.09 €/kg, while the cost of conventional seeds was 4.77 €/kg. The organic and conventional N. sativa seed selling prices were 17.04 and 12.01 €/kg, respectively. Moreover, the financial performance of farm is better after the introduction of N. sativa crop under organic cropping system, where the net profit increased by 63.8% compared to the initial profit of the farm, while the increase in the conventional was less at 49.2%.

“…Currently, India is the largest producer, consumer, and exporter of spices and spice products [1]. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) have recognized 109 spices in the world, out of which, more than 55 spice crops are grown in India, thus contributing to 20%–25% of the world trade in spices [2,3]. The raw spices undergo pulverization, grinding and sifting procedures to obtain powdered consistency.…”

“…These procedures lead to the release of suspended particles along with volatiles, thus creating a niche for distinct chances of occupational exposure in processing industries. There has been a progressive increase in allergy patients from 1964 (10%) to 2011 (20%) and is expected to rise to 50% by 2050 [2,3].…”

Spices have been known for their various health activities; however, they also possess the allergic potential for the respiratory system and the skin as they are fine particulate matter. Persons involved in spice agriculture and food industries are at greater risk since they are exposed to a considerable amount of combustible dust, which may be the cause of fire and explosion and adversely affect the health. These workers may experience allergy, long-term and short-term respiratory issues including occupational asthma, dermatitis, etc. Some spices induce T cell-based inflammatory reaction upon contact recognition of the antigen. Antigen Presenting Cells (APC) on binding to the causative metabolite results in activation of macrophages by allergen cytokine interleukin (IL)-12 and tumor necrosis factor-beta (TNF). Cross-reactivity for protein allergens is another factor which seems to be a significant trigger for the stimulation of allergic reactions. Thus, it was imperative to perform a systematic review along with bioinformatics based representation of some evident allergens has been done to identify the overall conservation of epitopes. In the present manuscript, we have covered a multifold approach, i.e., to categorize the spice particles based on a clear understanding about nature, origin, mechanisms; to assess metabolic reactions of the particles after exposure as well as knowledge on the conditions of exposure along with associated potential health effects. Another aim of this study is to provide some suggestions to prevent and to control the exposure up to some extent.

Spices are not much more expensive and widely available nowadays, and they contain the massive capacity for protected human health. In India and other developing countries, a human can use spices for the cure of diseases instead of allopathic drugs because herbal drugs have no side effects for human health. In ancient times people used seeds spices as spices for making curries, pickle, bakery products and other food additives. Spices contain various phytochemical compounds or secondary metabolites, which are beneficial for many disorders of human health; thus, the scientist has the challenge to enhance or stable the medicinally active compounds which are present in spices. Seed spices belong to various families, and each spice has its pharmaceutical effects. Cumin, fennel, coriander and fenugreek are the major seed spices crop whereas ajwain, nigella belongs to minor seed spices. Essential oils and extract of seed spices contain various active compounds which are helpful in cure and prevent various diseases.
